The room was small but cozy, just right for a single. The television was disappointing, as there seemed to be only one movie channel with old B movies. The staff were very pleasanr and helpful. The breakfast was very good with a large variety of choices. The location is excellent for exploring the city center or shopping, very near the East Gate in the city walls.

Seems like McDonald group have stopped investing in this lovely old hotel. Staff were excellent but room amenities were poor, no cold water, toilet seat hanging off and the bath filled with dirty water when the shower was turned on. Great location for Chester and nearby car park was perfect.

The staff are lovely. The room OK I didn't rate the bathroom the tiles had a lot of mold on and the cold tap on the bath was so difficult to turn off the door on the bathroom stopped at the toilet so you had to go in sideways. Even though I didn't rate the bathroom I would still stay at the hotel again just not that room. I did mention the bathroom on checkout .

We always stay in this hotel because the location is right in the middle of Chester, the rooms are always clean and beds are comfortable. Lovely fluffy towels and nice toiletries. Our room had air conditioning though not available in all rooms I think, much needed for our stay in the extreme hot weather. Reception was very pleasant and welcoming and helpful. Great hotel to stay for a few days visit to Chester. we always stay at the back of the hotel as it is quieter.

I would not recommend this hotel for families. It is more for couples or groups. The location is very good. We stayed here with our 11 year old son after visiting Chester Zoo. The parking is in the Eastgate shopping centre and costs £10 for 24 hours when you scan the QR code at the hotel reception. The room was large but in my opinion needs a refurbishment, as does the full bathroom. The large bed was two beds pushed together which we all slept in as the put up bed looked rather uncfortable. The TV was old and like the rest of the room, needs an upgrade. Breakfast was ordered at the table and the quality was good but the potato "scone" is no way as nice as a hash brown.

Room far too hot, even with the plug in fans,unable to open any windows because they were sealed shut. Unable to get fresh air into the room. Very uncomfortable nights sleep. Room carpets were full of stains, need cleaning or better still replacing. Stains on the chair and sofa. Staff in the bar in the evening were lovely and helpful. The bar was not very well stocked, many drinks unavailable.

2 days there - no hot water. Staff knew about it but did not tell us. No ice machines and the hotel ice machine was broken. Staff member did go to the restaurant and got us a some ice. They did send us an email offering an upgrade if available for an extra cost we would agree to , but did not tell us how much the cost would be so we declined. We could have used a business centre but did not see any notices about it so we did go to a lovely Stationery shop nearby on Forgate St. Location is great
