The hotel is in an excellent position for exploring Chester. Breakfast was cooked to order and there's plenty of choice. There was a problem with one of the two rooms booked which was not fixed during our stay but we received a partial refund quickly.

A very nice room which could probably do with an update. Very comfortable bed. Quite noisy in the evenings with comings and goings from the pub next door, but not too bad. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Room was lovely and clean and very spacious! Good facilities and very good location for our dinner reservations. Polite staff on reception and lovely reception area. Only giving 4 stars because of the noise as we were on the Main Street, lots of noise throughout the night, but I know that’s beyond the hotels problem.

A nice long wknd break in Chester. Staff were friendly. Loved the water dispenser in corridor. Hotel’s location was perfect. The rooms are a nice size with a large bed. Felt comfortable during our stay. Occasional noise from other guests returning to their rooms in early hours of morning; but that happens. Seal on the shower door had come away and so water poured onto bathroom floor during shower & the shower controller was coming away from the wall, which lent to the feeling the rooms were a little tired in places. This didn’t impact our stay and would happily book again.
