Offering city views, The Old Warehouse Ely "Apartments" is an accommodation located in Ely, 28 km from University of Cambridge and 41 km from The Apex. Housed in a building dating from 2022, this apartment is 43 km from Ickworth House and 500 metres from Ely Cathedral. Free WiFi, luggage storage space and a housekeeping service are available.

Spacious, nicely furnished, and very comfortable 2 bedroom apartment in the city center with a partial view of the cathedral towers. We especially liked the framed photographs and other decorative touches. Kitchen is nicely appointed with all the equipment you could require for light meals, and they even provide good coffee and snacks! The area and the building felt very safe. Try The Lamb pub and the Turkish Restaurant on Fore Hill.
