Good property with vey helpful and friendly staff and a great choice of meals on the menu.
A great place to stay. Great room. Plenty of space. Food in the hotel was good quality and very reasonably priced. We used this as a base for travel into Liverpool.
Oaklands is on the outskirts of the centre of Chester. Bus stops are close by but it's also a nice walk (25mins or so) to the start of the city walls. Parking is available both at the front and rear with plenty of spaces and no extra charge.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the room was comfortable, clean and quiet.
An enjoyable short stay to explore Chester.

Staff good and amenable. Good facilities although perhaps a touch tired.
Ran out of cask ales on Saturday afternoon.
Staff are nice and the room was okay.
Sadly, my experience the hotel was full of workmen who lock themselves out drunk in the middle of the night, shouting and talking to their mates like they’re on holiday.
Awful breakfast deep-fried mushrooms and an obliterated microwave scrambled egg.
Won’t be going back there again.
Stayed overnight room large & comfortable with everything you needed. Clean bedding & towels. Bonus of the large pub underneath. Value for money food & drink. Loved the large tvs showing all football games. Could do with security lights up the side when leaving in the dark ! Large car park straight on the main road. Thank you will stay again
The rooms are newly refurbished, very clean and comfortable. The hotel is walking distance to lHoole which has shops, restaurants and cafe's. and is a short walk into Chester.

A basic room but clean and not too small. We were judging stopping off en route to somewhere else so it was perfect for our needs. Friendly staff
Great place to stay a short walk into town. Great sized room and lovely beer garden. The only issue was that breakfast did not include any cold drinks e.g. water or juice

Small, clean and reasonable
The check-in staff was fantastic. She ensured we were welcome and checked in efficiently.
The room was clean if small and too hot.
Clean towels were available and discounts available through the blue light card.
Enough condiments for two cuppas would have been welcomed, and maybe a biscuit.
Overall, the room served its purpose as we stayed one night for the Christmas market.
The Oaklands is a nice hotel with a great bar and beer garden. It is relatively close to the centre, you can walk. The room is nothing special but everything works. Easy to park.
