Great location, comfy bed

Stayed in the small room with the garden view which was very small, comfy bed. Bathroom had a few issues, shower not very warm and water appeared on the floor from somewhere. Shower door doesn't close and the sink plug was permanently down. Could do with some repairs / tlc.

Soche Unterkünfte dürfen nicht existieren

leider bin ich zum wiederholten Male von ihnen an unseriöse Unterkünfte vermittelt wurden. Ein Check in war nicht möglich da die American Express nicht akzeptiertieren. Ein 90 minütiges Telefonat mit ihrem sogenannten Service brachte nichts ein. Liverpool als Ausweichquartier ist ein Witz. Es gibt keine freien Zimmer in Chester eine Lüge. Gott sei Dank gibt es hier Passanten die einen den Weg zum nächsten Hotel (travellodge) sagen konnen.

Easy to find, 14 minute walk from Chester Station. Shops and plenty of food places to buy food for lunch and dinner and restraunts close by. I spoke with Claire, she was lovely, helpful and made me feel very welcome and at home. I highly recomend Maison Claire. I would definitely stay again.

Cosy

Entry is by a code given by the landlady. The room was very small but comfortable. Tea and coffee supplied in the room. The lighting in the toilet/shower room was too dim for shaving. Generally, its a cosy place. The landlady was very pleasant and couldn't have been more helpful. I would happily stop there again.

Shabby, dirty and over-priced.

Room was poor. Damp and cold. We asked for the heating to be on and we given a small fan heater. The room was dusty. Wall paper bubbling away from wall. Shower poor. Towels tiny and thin. No toiletries just a used empty shower gel bottle in shower. Cushions on bed stained. Felt dirty and not Covid safe. Booked breakfast for day two - Clare told us to text her time we wanted breakfast. It wasn’t ready and Clare explained she had been out drinking night before and was running late. She then burned our breakfast and put burned side of omelette reface down hoping we wouldn’t see it. She said she had burned pan. All smoke alarms going off. Food swimming in grease. Not sure whether she was still drunk! She did take breakfast coat off bill but I felt quick sick after. All in all totally overpriced stay. Shabby, dirty and a big let down. Amateur.
