Hotel in the centre, with history

Directly in the city centre. Nice design of common spaces. Room a little outdated. Single room not big, but okay. There was noise from a ventilation outside of my room. Very good breakfast (payed before 12£, in the morning 16 £ Continental, 22 £ full.

Property ideally centrally located. Reception staff friendly and efficient. Room could do with an update, towel rail connection held together with tape, dusty in some areas, generally clean, no remote for tv but can be controlled by buttons on the side of the tv, this gives you restrictive control.

Friendly staff but unfortunatly the room was not up to standard. Towel rail wires exposed ,light shades very dusty. Breakfast was not the best. Stayed a few months earlier on the third floor and the room there was to a better standard.

It’s a struggle to find anything positive to say about the hotel, other than its location. Our room was in need of a good polish. The main light in the room was in need of replacement and the toilet didn’t work properly. The breakfast was average. We did raise our concerns and were told the hotel manager would speak to us. The manager was conspicuous by his absence. The location Is literally the only reason for 2 stars

Fantastic value for money

Exceptional value for money! Stayed in a suite which was huge and also meant the kids and adults had separate but adjoining rooms. Location is excellent with cheap parking Very close by. Very clean and quiet, staff were all lovely and kids got a free breakfast which was very nice. Only slight issue was a lack of hot water when trying to use the shower. You won't find better value for your money in Chester.

Cold shower

We had a lovely stay, despite shower was cold and when mentioned to reception staff upon checking out, was told would make a note and that everyone who had stayed had experienced the same. Hotel and decor is dated in the rooms, bed was comfortable and room temperature was ok. Outdoor noise was a little disturbing early hours in the evening, lots of stairs.

Save your money and stay somewhere else, no soap in the bathroom they knew but just didn't say or give replace ment until asked , room cold heating did not work, breakfast was poor,, tables had not been cleared had to search for glasses, plates and butter.choice lvery limited for a hotel, coffee was in a pump vacuum flask and tasted awful , I asked to purchase a cappuccino and they told me this hotel chain does not have such coffee machines it's a policy. Staff were lovely but understaffed and manager was not available
