Oliver Cromwell Hotel

This place is terrible. I certainly would not recommend anyone to stay here. We only ended up staying as it was late, we’d had a long journey, and we couldn’t find anywhere else nearby. The whole room and bathroom was covered in grime and dust and the floor was filthy, I didn’t walk on the floor without shoes or shower for fear of catching something. The sheets and towels were just about clean but felt like they had been washed in the minimum amount of washing powder possible. Breakfast was very poor, the sausages were so cheap I don’t think they had ever seen a pig, the bacon was so hard you couldn’t cut it, the hot tray of tomatoes was just the sieved juice of tinned tomatoes, the hash browns were soggy and undercooked, and the eggs looked like they had been sitting there for a week. Don’t be fooled by the photos on Google as it shows a beautiful swimming pool, however THERE IS NO POOL. The best part of our overnight stay was the air-conditioning! Avoid at all costs!

Good value for money. Room big and. Lots of Space for Activities. Manager was friendly

Very poor breakfast adequate but shut at 11pm no night porter used to be great new owners ruining it

Made a mistake of booking for an incorrect date. Were plenty of rooms available to do a straight forward swap though hotel manager would not shift and said if i wanted to stay would need to pay an additional premium room rate and loose the cost of room i had already paid for. The room was dirty, smelly and on pulling back the bed sheets in the morning found stains, pubic and long hairs. Also kept up all night by guests in rooms next door and above. A ghastly experience, waste of money and terrible staff. Would not recommend whatsoever.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Filthy, freezing cold, poor quality everything. It’s awful, I slept badly as I kept waking due to being so cold. I couldn’t shower as the bathroom is disgusting.

Genuinely the worst hotel I have ever stayed in,do not stay here. Dirty and completely uncared for. I can only imagine how bad the food must be.

I can fully recommend the Steak and Ale pie and the Lasagne. After meeting and speaking to the chef, a lovely lady. These meals are both home made. You can tell. Packed with meat and flavour 😋

Filthy disgusting shocking vile stinking dirty place that needs to be closed down. I will attach photos. Hole in ceiling in corridor outside our room with soaked mouldy carpet and bucket to catch drips, old flat filthy stained towels and sheets, carpets like we have never seen before they were practically walking , we had to wash the bottoms of our slippers when we left as they were filthy , kettle filthy, toilet disgusting, basically everything old, filthy and in need of demolition. The fake wooden walls covered in dirty handprints, skirting filthy - need I go on??? We only stayed because we had travelled for almost 5 hours to see a sick relative and were too exhausted to look for somewhere else . Stayed 1 night and that was 1 too many. Didn’t even bother to look at breakfast can only imagine what it was like. Also no green light showing the exit from room and the fire escape plan had the wrong number for our room . And there’s an infant school next door which the rooms along our side looked directly into classrooms. Terrifying. Seriously STAY AWAY GO ANYWHERE ELSE INSTEAD

Stayed here when visiting the WWT Welney, the staff are really helpful when making the booking we had to make a last-minute change to add an additional person to our group and they were happy to change from a twin to a family. The family room we got was very modern clean spacious it had a huge accessible bathroom with a walk-in shower because we explained one of our party was elderly and not able to get into a bath so they made sure we had that shower the room was lovely. It had three separate single beds with different firmness of mattresses so we could choose which one suited which person best there was a balcony which was nice but not much use in December. I imagine that would be lovely in the summer though the hotel itself is large and based in the centre of town with free parking restaurant and bar. the breakfast had plenty of options to choose from the hotel itself, Some areas could be called a little bit dated but they’re dated in a retro charming way and our room itself was extremely modern and very comfortable. The room was on the first floor with a lift so no issues with step free access . So for value location, helpful staff and amenities I will definitely go back to this hotel and would recommend it.

Hotel is old , tired and has dirty facilities. The room is ok , mattress is old and lumpy. Tv is fixed on wall mount in a place not ideal. THE shower was not fit to use floor and drain area was rotten . Breakfast was very limited and dehydrated from being left in warming servers. Atmosphere is tired , unloved , not popular with visitors and on leaving staff looked like they were not particularly bothered. I raised issue with them showed photos taken they blamed housekeeping and proceeded to charge for the rubbish breakfast.

Nice room, comfy bed

It was all good

Spacious room

Not very clean towels was dirty the bit in the balcony was full of cobwebs and spiders

Posizione e parcheggio

Ristorante

Very friendly, organised and good service.

Would prefer breakfast cooked for you.

Easy central location. Parking was available outside complex. Good choice of takeaways nearby. Good range for breakfast. Not a 5* hotel, however was clean, comfortable and good value.

No drinking glasses in room. No fridge.

Good comfy bed, shower was powerful

Arrived and was told that another couple added Arrived with the same surname, and that they wasn't sure if we was entitled to the breakfast ( it was included in my price) Their was a strange scratching noise in our room that would come and go and also what seemed to be like a generator sound.

Super convenient location, loads of places to eat & drink within walking distance. Free onsite parking & plenty of it. Really big room and bathroom. Excellent value for money. Very clean.

The room was really clean but the carpet was quite old & tired which gave the first impression of the room being unclean. Carpet needs replacing or a really good shampoo. Quality of the cooked breakfast items were a bit basic but not unpleasant.

Breakfast was ok location was brilliant

In bar at night maybe a bit of music instead of silence

We stayed in the residence we had a large spacious room with a comfy bed and good shower. Breakfast was a nice relaxed atmosphere with attention to detail. Staff very friendly and welcoming. We have booked to go back again. Thank you.

This hotel gets everything right — comfortable beds, spotless rooms, and wonderful staff. WiFi is quick, breakfast delicious, and location ideal. Can’t recommend it enough for anyone visiting March.

The hotel is perfectly situated near shops and restaurants. The room was spotless, the bed so comfy, and WiFi fast. Breakfast was generous, and staff were always smiling. Brilliant value overall.

The staff were so welcoming, and the hotel felt calm and spotless. The bed was huge and comfortable, and breakfast was tasty and filling. Fast WiFi and lovely surroundings. Great value for a peaceful break.

Stayed here for three nights and had a great experience. The WiFi was strong, the room clean and peaceful, and the bed so comfortable after long days. Breakfast each morning was fresh and satisfying. Staff were brilliant.

The staff were friendly, even with the improvements they were doing they still took care of us.

The place could do with better attention to the cleaning of the reception/stairs/ corridors. The rooms were comfortable but lacked the cleanliness in areas (lots of dust on top of wardrobe, bed surround and mirror)..

Everything was top-notch — from the friendly check-in to the excellent breakfast. Our room had a great view, and the bed was very comfortable. Impeccable cleanliness and value for money.

Good location close to shops and amenities.

The fact the venue did not have the manners to reply to my request for a ground floor, drinks were rather expensive and lager needed the pipes cleaning tasted like sewer waste.

Fantastic from start to finish — easy check-in, immaculate rooms, and comfortable beds. The breakfast buffet was generous and tasty. Staff were professional and kind. Great facilities and location. Excellent value!

I came for a few days to unwind, and it was perfect. The bed was heavenly, the room spotless, and WiFi steady. Breakfast was well cooked, and staff were always smiling. Quiet and great value for the comfort offered.

All of it

Everything about this stay was excellent — comfortable room, spotless bathroom, and cheerful staff. Breakfast had a great variety, and the WiFi never failed. Superb value for money and a peaceful atmosphere.

It was a pleasure stopping here, with secure car parking

Nothing

Unable to enter the hotel, key card provided waa not working, nobody on front desk, nobody answering phone, left outside for 30 mins knocking on the windows and doors until someone was able to let us in. Fire alarm sounded early in the morning and there was clear noise from other guests in room next door due to sharing a door between rooms. Overall hotel was mucky and dingy.

This hotel always feels welcoming. The staff remember returning guests, which is lovely. The bed is extremely comfortable, the WiFi dependable, and breakfast delicious. Clean, quiet, and convenient. Always a pleasure staying here.

Ideal location within walking distance of the town. Room was immaculate, bed super soft, and the staff attentive. WiFi worked perfectly, and breakfast offered something for everyone. Great comfort at a great price.

After a long drive, we were thrilled to find such a comfy bed and spotless room. The WiFi was great, and breakfast in the morning set us up perfectly for the day. Great facilities, friendly staff, and real value for money.

The room was bright and cosy with a comfy bed and lovely garden view. Breakfast was delicious, and the staff were genuinely friendly. Cleanliness was impeccable, and the hotel’s location is perfect for exploring March.

The facilities were fantastic — gym, bar, and comfortable seating areas. Our room was spotless with a great bed and lovely view. Breakfast was one of the best we’ve had, and every member of staff made us feel welcome. Outstanding value.

Location good

Was away from hotel

Very close to town centre and the fens

Everything was fine .

We came for a weekend escape, and it was wonderful. The staff were polite and professional, the bed was like sleeping on a cloud, and the bathroom sparkled. The room view overlooked a peaceful courtyard, and breakfast was beautifully presented. Great value and comfort all around.

very friendly and helpful staff, said they would report the room problems

Bathroom facilities required repair, mirror shelf loose, severely leak on shower door caused flooding to the floor, fan wasn't working.

Stayed for a quick visit while attending a wedding nearby. From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless. The room was spotless, bed super comfy, and WiFi fast. The breakfast buffet was delicious with plenty of choice. Excellent facilities and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Nice clean room

WiFi not working

We stayed while attending a family wedding and loved it. The room was clean, airy, and beautifully presented. The staff were genuinely kind, and breakfast the next morning was exceptional. Great WiFi, comfortable bed, and lovely location near the town centre. Perfect in every way.

Bit dated needs some TLC one member of staff we seen on reception and bar was same very helpful and friendly. Good location, breakfast was OK needs staff to check more on what needs to be refilled. Would stY again if needed as you can see staff were very friendly and helpful . Would be lovely if TLC was given

The Oliver Cromwell Hotel is such a pleasant surprise. Spotlessly clean, incredibly comfy bed, and very quiet. The breakfast was generous, and staff were friendly and efficient. Free parking and reliable WiFi made our stay even better. Excellent value for money!

The Oliver Cromwell ticks all the boxes — quiet rooms, comfy bed, and fast WiFi. The staff couldn’t do enough to help, and breakfast was fresh and filling. Clean, comfortable, and great value for money. Ideal for business travellers.

The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was spotless. Breakfast was excellent, and the WiFi signal strong. Staff made me feel at home. Great value and location.

From arrival to departure my expectations were exceeded, helpful staff etc. The only thing which got in the way was the door of the broken cash machine hindering manoeverability for my invalidity scooter

nothing really

Good location and breakfast better than expected.

Hotel felt old and in need of maintenance. Uncomfortable bed .

Location and staff

More food choice

Shower and food on the evening

My room had a leak in the ceiling and had to change rooms. No one helped with my luggage to move. The beds were too soft and uncomfortable. The rooms were not cleaned or serviced unless you asked.

I'm staying here for work; my first two stays were fine. One was in the residence and the other in a family room in the hotel. The hotel is very tired and rundown, but fulfilled my needs and the staff are very friendly. This trip however has been a nightmare. My first room was next to the lift and incredibly noisy, after requesting a quieter room I was given one next to some sort of generator room, definitely not quieter... Next I was given the key for a room in the residence that had police and ambulance outside of when I arrived. This room smelled so strongly of bleach, that someone almost certainly died in it 2 days ago. When returning yet again to the reception, I questioned the receptionist who didn't deny that someone died there. I was then shown the room opposite the aforementioned lift 🤦🤦 By this time I was fed up, tired and hungry after my 12hr shift at work, so settled with the room that sounds like it has a lorry with its engine on parked so close outside the door that my bed is vibrating 🫨 I'm currently writing this from said room at 23.15 as I can't sleep. Roll on next Wed when I can check out and go home as it's going to be a long week of not being able to sleep. If you're looking for somewhere reasonably priced and lovely, try a log cabin at Fourwinds Leisure, it's the same price and only 5 minutes away.

I’ve stayed here several times, and the team always delivers exceptional service. Rooms are modern, beds are dreamy, and cleanliness is top-notch. WiFi speed is reliable, and breakfast is consistently excellent. You’re greeted with genuine warmth — makes work trips feel like home.

The hotel location is suitable for both business and leisure.Good value and more facilities.Very good atmosphere with professional staff.welcoming check-in, free parking, breakfast and clean room thats all what we need.

Great value for money,good service and comfortable stay with some extra facilities.would definitely come back.recommended

We stayed here while visiting friends nearby and were pleasantly surprised. The hotel was spotless, and the staff were genuinely friendly. The bed was one of the best we’ve slept in, and the WiFi worked flawlessly. Breakfast was generous and tasty. Excellent value for the price — we’ll definitely return.

Stopped for one night while travelling through Cambridgeshire. The hotel exceeded expectations — easy parking, spotless rooms, and such a comfortable bed. The WiFi signal was strong, and breakfast in the morning was beautifully cooked. Excellent location close to the town centre. Highly recommend for comfort and convenience.

Excellent

Room was very cold, aircon/heater did not appear to work

Rooms adequate for somewhere to sleep and shower

Breakfast poor

Do not eat the breakfast it looks raw

Stayed with my family for a couple of nights, and we were impressed. The rooms were clean and cosy, with comfy beds and crisp linen. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Breakfast was hearty, and the kids loved the selection. Great value and a wonderful location close to everything in March.

The rooms were clean and big, but very outdated. The bathroom finishing especially was not up to standard, with quite a lot of repairs required. The bathtub kept leaking after every shower. The shower settings were not clear or easy to use. They also did not provide any water to drink, which I would’ve thought was a basic need.

Visited for a short business stay, and everything went perfectly. The room was quiet, the bed super comfortable, and the WiFi strong enough for video calls. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. Great facilities, especially the lounge area. Would happily stay again.

Stayed for a weekend break and couldn’t have asked for better! The staff were welcoming from the moment we arrived, and check-in was smooth. Our room was spotless with a comfy bed and a lovely view over the gardens. The WiFi was fast, and breakfast was plentiful with hot and cold options. Excellent value for money and a perfect base to explore March.

Entrance door was dirty and needed painting. Our television did not work. The room was dark.and bathroom had no towel rail. Plug did not fit so water did not stay in basin. Not enough towels. NoTrouser hangers in wardrobe .

The hotel is spotless, beds are incredibly comfortable, and breakfast is freshly cooked to perfection. Staff were helpful and kind, and WiFi was great for streaming. Lovely little gym and excellent value.

Fantastic value hotel with five-star service. The bed was heavenly, room spotless, and breakfast exceeded expectations. WiFi was strong, and staff were cheerful. Highly recommend for comfort and cleanliness.

I stay in hotels weekly, and this one stands out. Friendly staff, spotless room, and a comfortable bed. The facilities are great, and the breakfast buffet was fresh. Reliable WiFi too — perfect for working remotely.

Everything about this hotel is comfortable — quiet rooms, clean bedding, and soft pillows. Breakfast was excellent, and the WiFi worked perfectly. Great staff and very fair prices.

The hospitality here is unmatched. From check-in to check-out, every member of staff was helpful. The bed was soft, the WiFi strong, and the breakfast absolutely delicious. Great facilities and spotless rooms.

Great

Location

Bed in disabled room mattress terrible . No grab rails in toilet

comfortable bed and decent breakfast

room 41 nice size as would most hotels in uk would benefit with a fridge

It served the purpose. We were attending a family funeral.

The hotel was grubby.

Spacious room

The name of hotel from road is not visible when coming from south so we missed it and went all way to other side of village. But saw sign when we drove back the other way. The wait to get served in bar and had to in end go into kitchen to ask where every one was.

Stayed here 4 or 5 times now & staff have always been friendly & helpful. It's in close proximity of where we needed to be & can't fault the breakfast.

The rooms are getting a little tired now & could do with a little TLC. Bathrooms especially need a touch of descaler around the taps & shower which would vastly improve the stay. Beds are comfy & room temperature is spot on.

Clean hotel , close to town centre and shops

Everything was fine

We booked an executive double - allocated room 10 (not the specific room asked for when I booked or the room shown in the room description on Booking.com however). Bed was very comfortable; shower was good and hot. Provision of rubber bath mat made it safer (I am 74 yrs old) to climb into and stand in the bath to take a shower - however I managed to cut the top of my foot on the glass curtain/ shower guard as I climbed into the bath!! Nothing serious, however, thankfully. Plenty of storage. There was even an external balcony off the seating area over looking the carpark - surplus to requirement however especially at this time of year!! Full pre-cooked breakfast available from 8am in the morning, though we only had a light bite - coffee, grapefruit & tangerine pieces, toast & marmalade - as we were already booked for a carvery lunch at 12.30, so didn't need or want a full English. Sufficient choice for most people I imagine. Free parking - always a bonus.

No evening restaurant facility at weekend - had to go elsewhere for an evening meal. Furniture and room feels a tad tired - needs a makeover, one of the two settees (situated in front of the TV) especially needs changing - it is past it's best, and is hard to get up out of when you are my age. Flat wall mounted TV would benefit from being a bigger size screen given the size of the room especially if you might want to watch from the bed.

Room 10 is a suite with plenty of space, appropriate furniture and a balcony.

While breakfast was good overall, (a) it's always a false economy to pre-cook many more fried eggs than are needed at any one time and (b) it would be honest to say that soggy hash browns equal poor quality cooking. Recent poor experience reported by others wasn't what I encountered.

The cleanliness and the quite location

Nothing
