This is a fantastic place to stay. Right in the heart of Chester above (and adjoining) a brilliant pub. The only thing I'd be aware of are the walls are quite thin (I didn't hear anything from the pub just from other guests). Other than that, an excellent hotel, with great service, and certainly somewhere I'd stay again

Nice old central pub with rooms
Nice old pub in the centre of town. Bar and staff were good, although very rowdy customers into the early hours (3am on Friday!) Evening meal was very good. Room was a little tired and odd things like the sheets weren't wide enough to tuck-in properly, Bathroom was good.
