Top National Waterways Museum Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Chester East

10/10 Excellent

"Young Katy and her team are doing a great job! Really good value motel at a service station - one of the best I've stayed in. If you're on a budget this would be an ideal place to stay for a visit to Chester: friendly, welcoming, loads of parking (!) including electric charging right outside. Comfortable room, dog friendly (laminate flooring). The only thing missing is a towel rail in the bathroom! I'd stay again (always the best recommendation!)"

The Mill Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Pool"

Hampton by Hilton Liverpool/John Lennon Airport

8/10 Good

"Stayed here a few times now and always had a decent night's sleep, hotel clean, staff friendly and over the road to airport. The room we stayed in this time had a noisy air conditioning unit that we had to switch off, sounded like fan was screeching, luckily we didn't really need the unit on, did report issue in the morning."

Crabwall Manor Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff were excellent in every department, reception, spa, restaurant. The room was beautiful and clean, huge bed, toiletries, hot showers, and quiet. the grounds were also beautifully kept. The only couple of things that let it down, was the state of the bedroom door which could really do with replacing as the door handle is ready to fall off and the two bathroom hooks also need replacing"

Holiday Inn Ellesmere Port by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, amazing friendly staff. Breakfast was beautiful."

Royal Oak By Greene King Inns

8/10 Good

"Super friendly and professional staff. Clean bed, double comfortable, but single a bit soft! Bathroom door wouldn't close. Shower, although plenty of hot water, was only providing a dribbling jet!"

Brook Mollington Banastre Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"A really lovely hotel - a bit of a time capsule but immaculately kept and well presented. The staff are all super friendly and go out of their way to help. We spent a couple of nights very comfortably, and the swimming pool and gym are really well maintained and well equipped. We visited for Chester Zoo, which is super close and easy to get to from the hotel. Overall we had a fantastic trip and I would recommend the Brook Mollington if you’re looking for a comfortable hotel in Chester."

Macdonald Craxton Wood Hotel & Spa, Chester

8/10 Good

"Staff were very friendly & helpful. Would definitely go back."
