I booked this hotel on a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint. The city centre was within 10 mins walking distance and even the hop on tour bus stopped outside the hotel. We had an enjoyable day on the bus including a river cruise. The hotel room, staff and breakfast were lovely. We had an enjoyable stay and would not hesitate booking again.

Stayed here before. Service was good, very clean and helpful staff. Room was beneath back entrance with many delivery lorries in the mornings which was quite noisey. Had a bit of problem with the card access to our room, but staff did manage to sort it. Overall good location for Chester and in and out of the area.

You put us in a disabled room that had interconnected doors as thin as paper. Not what I would call an ideal or private stay.

When we arrived the reception staff were fantastic, they couldn’t do enough for us! We had booked late and the only room available was a standard double. The room was lovely and clean, but the bed was very small. When we went to bed, I couldn’t sleep in the bed as I rolled into the middle and it felt like I was on a hard board. I had to try and sleep on top of the duvet for a bit of comfort, which meant I had no covers. Luckily it was warm, but I did have to use one of the large towels to put over me in the night. Breakfast was alright, staff were lovely and helpful. Checkout was quick!
