I can’t fault this hotel for location, parking and staff etc. but when you have a load of youths who think it’s acceptable to treat the hotel and other guests who like me have work the next day to treat it like a stay in Ibiza on a Monday night wasn’t great. The hotel did have a word and they finally by 12am was quite again!!! The breakfast has a lot a variety but the hot breakfast I mean the sausages are not that nice. But everything else is great.

Lovely staff especially Angela on front desk at The Chester Racecourse Hotel. Breakfast excellent and great value. Rooms had Netflix which was a nice touch. Bed was comfortable. Adequate for an overnight stay. Very convenient location. Would definitely stay there in future.

Perfect location,easy walking distance & parking available on site. The lady on reception was extremely helpful and gave us plenty of information about the property. Only problems were the rooms could have been a bit cleaner. Stained carpets,unhoovered floor & underwear between the beds from the previous guests. The next door neighbours were uo very late having loud sex which woke us up,however we understand this can happen anywhere.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Convenient for Chester itself. Our room was small but nowhere to put items, no drawers or proper wardrobe, Our room was very dusty around the bed. The room was warm so heeded the window open slightly but there was a lot of noise and banging outside at all hours during the night.
