What a magical space! Really well thought out with high standards and imaginative design. So lovely to have a private little patio too. Very kind to have welcome biscuits. Lots of useful information and clear instructions. Very clean and well presented. Everything I could have wanted was provided.
Excellent location for my trip. The host was very helpful for a slightly early arrival.

Lovely staff. Fantastic location. This room Wouldn't be suitable for anyone disabled the second flight of stairs were a killer 😞
I mentioned the smell and the mouldy taps and shower guard to the gentleman on reception when we left.

For the price I was so pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The beds and rooms were very comfy, there was a generous supply of teas, coffees and biscuits in the room, all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and having a spoons a short stroll from the hotel was highly convenient.

The location was great, close to shops as well. The room is a good size and the bed was comfortable. Plenty of storage, great size desk and TV. The staff were friendly on arrival and bookout. I didn't use any of the other facilities, Luke the pool, gym or restaurant, so I can't comment on those. Room service is available late night and early morning if needed. Blackout curtains were good and Aircon in the rooms which was good.

We were going to St Ives for the annual and amazing Old Riverport Jazz and Blues Festival - now in its 9th year - four days of free !!! awesome bands which coincides with the Heritage Open day in St Ives.
Because the music was hosted for free it meant everyone had a bit more money available to pay to get to St Ives and / or to have a bit of treat. St Ives has the perfect medieval layout for such an event and the weather was perfect for the outdoor music events. Discovering the quirky venues in such a beautiful historical riverside town was a real joy, and the quality of the muscians made it a genuinally special bit of magic.

Lovely little riverside town with plenty of amenities.
Lovely little riverside town with plenty of amenities. Some great restaurants, we'd recommend Di Ritas Italian, and the Hambleton Bakery (next door to Waitrose).
We had a charter trip on the Electric Boat company, and that's 5Star! You must try it, but book in advance.

I like the mix of little shops and cafes, and there are lovely walks by the river and beyond. We enjoyed the fabulous food at the Italian restaurant on the waterfront, and its a good idea to book, it’s very popular. It’s very easy to get around, with a lot of paved walk ways, and we walked everywhere. I was disappointed in the amount of larger shops that have closed, but sadly this is the same in many small towns, so I am not being critical of St Ives.

Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town.
Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town. We were only over-nighting, so didn't have the opportunity to investigate the town's attractions. The riverside looked especially pretty. Definitely enough promise to tempt us back for a day trip.

No thru traffic which made walking around the town very pleasant; old river bridge out of the town and river quay is delightful. Very old buildings to admire and the flower market together with the food market on another morning made shopping a really enjoyable experience for the visitor to the town.

Especially liked the ion\pod area.
Especially liked the ion\pod area. Coffee excellent at £1.75.
After 1,1/2 mile walk the bacon rolls were excellent. Butchers thick bacon , fresh baked rolls and butter. The flowers and cleanliness of the walks. Very friendly atmosphere. Had to go back for another coffe and cake on the walk back. Interesting crafts and individual shops. Will go back and spend more time there.
Very well located for access to town with plenty of parking on site. It’s a quiet, small and friendly hotel with well appointed rooms and bathrooms. The only disappointment was the lack of cooked breakfast. We’ve stayed before and this has been good but sadly they are struggling to replace staff who’ve left but I would stress this is a national and hopefully temporary problem and the long serving staff have been working very hard to keep it going. Highly recommend for visiting St. Ives or a pit stop en route near Cambridge.
The property location was ideal for walks around St Ives and a little high street retail therapy (Honey Boutique is awesome for ladies wear!)
It was also close to the river and all the restaurants along the river.
The free car parking was a necessary bonus.
The apartment is spacious and airy.
The facilities in the flat were all lovely and high quality. The coffee machine and capsules was a real hit with my sister. The milk and cookies were also a lovely touch.
The owners were very helpful and accommodating throughout.
This was alot bigger than expected, I didn't realise it was up & downstairs, was great space for my husband, me & my 2 kids...then last minute my nephew wanted to come & there was plenty of space. Located right next to all the restaurants, river & shops in St ives. We are visiting family & would most definitely rent this property again.
The room was lovely, had plenty of space and had everything we needed. It was clean and the bed was very comfy. The location was lovely in that you could explore St Ives and there were very pretty walks in the surrounding areas. The hotel had great outside seating space which was nice to enjoy in the sun.
1. corner room had windows on two sides, allowing air to circulate
2. breakfast was superb: ample food, lots of choice, and very helpful staff
3. facility maintenance person lent me tools to repair my bag
4. room was clean
5. hotel near to path to jog and in town centre, near amenities

I received a very friendly welcome from the Receptionist, and all the staff were very friendly.
The bed linen was immaculate and the room spotless.
The breakfast was very good, and delivered promptly.
Would particularly like to commend Elaina, who is a real asset to the hotel.
Beautiful!! Love the history, loved the country location!! it is close to Cambridge, but didn’t have time to go there, so will have to come stay again! There were plenty of places to go for beautiful walks. 😍
Staff was Great and food was good! Cheers!🍺
Location was beautiful and St Ives is very interesting. We stop in the area as its half way for us.
the bedroom although advertised small I was surprised at the size and the bathroom ( in the cupboard )not a lot of room if the door was closed.
I stayed at Slepe Hotel as was working at a local festival for the weekend. Nothing was too much trouble for the extremely friendly staff and they were very accommodating about my late arrivals back each night.
We loved the accommodation, it was so central, tastefully decorated and perfect for a family meet up. The host was friendly, thoughtful and accessible. Great value for money with several amenities nearby.
Very well appointed and immediate impression was of high quality accommodation.
Further exploration revealed a few pointers for improvement for 'luxury accommodation '
Easy to find located right on the main strip, even though the hotel doesn’t have parking there’s quite a few lots very close by and extremely cheap for 24 hours a day
The apartment was incredibly clean and much more spacious than it appeared in the photographs and it was fantastically located for all the amenities in St Ives.
Big Slepe was ideal to visit family. Everything you need for your stay.very clean 15/10.well worth the money. 100%Better than hotels we have stayed in .
Great location for the jazz and blues festival weekend. This hotel is under new management and the new funky decor gives it a fresh , contemporary look.
