The property is just a few minutes walk from Chester station and about 10 minutes from the city centre. We stayed in a small double en-suite room which was functional and had some nice extras such as tea and coffee, shampoo and shower gel and an ironing board with iron. I did need to contact the property to provide ID - they’d sent instructions via Expedia but there was no way for me to send a photo of my ID to them. However once I contacted them, this was resolved quickly and easily. The room was good value, quiet and comfortable, and was just what we needed for an overnight stay in Chester.

The room was very small as expected, unfortunately it was around 22 degrees the day that we stayed and the room was really hot. Luckily they provided a fan, but it didn’t really work that well. Same with the TV that’s fitted, didn’t have any signal whatsoever. Checkout was at 10am which wasn’t stated so if you’re a night owl I wouldn’t recommend staying here. You can stay for another hour for an extra £10. But in comparison, the price for this property you could also stay in the Travelodge nearby and have comfortable aircon, a bigger room and you can checkout midday. This was far cleaner than their rooms and a more comfortable bed but the cons tend to our way the pro’s.

Amazing value for money

Really lovely stay and great value for money if you are on a budget. The small double room is definitely small lol but it’s cosy and is perfect for 1/2 nights away. The noise from the pub really isn’t bad so don’t be put off and it’s actually a really nice pub with lots of interesting beers. Great location too.

Cheap accommodation close city centre

That was a good price for an accommodation so close main street in Chester. I've got an instruction how to enter , password to WiFi and all important information. It was clear how to check in and check out. Room was tiny but I knew it before I booked and that was just for sleep anyway. Apartment was very short walking distance to city centre and main street as well very close nice and big park. Like I mentioned, the price was appropriate to this what we've got. I've got just two suggestions. I'm short (155cm height), if not my partner, I will not manage to reach the switches to ventilators which are located over the toilet's door , just under celling. Why they are in that place? In toilet is no place at all to put toothpaste, cream, face wash or anything like that. Why not put a small shelf over there? It will cost just few pounds and will be so beneficial. That's all what I will say. I was happy with my choice. I couldn't get anything better in that price.

Misrepresented and mis-sold. No mention of the extremely noisy pub downstairs before taking our money. Iron didn't work despite having contacted the property to confirm they had one before arriving. Bedroom was boiling hot in February. The fan listed in the amenities also didn't work. The property failed to co-operate in terms of a refund, despite us having to leave before staying a second night. Awful. Don't book any properties from this company, they deserve no custom.

Overall review - okay

My room was small but perfect for one and the shower and sink worked well. However, if you’re wanting a good nights sleep you won’t get it here if you’re staying on the first floor due to noise and music from the pub next door. The mugs and sink were also dirty. I had safety concerns about the window too which, when opened leads to a drop off the roof and very unsafe. I am unlikely to stay here again.

Convenient if a little small

Very convenient location. Close to station and right in the canal, with a short walk to centre of Chester. Place was not amazing for a quiet stay, but you know this when booking. My room was super small, double bed but no room for a case - fine for solo traveller or lightly packed couple. Would not be comfortable for an extended stay.

We stayed for two nights in a small double room which had everything we needed including kettle and free tea/coffee. The shower was big and powerful and the room comfortable, perfect for a couple of nights.

Not recommended!

The following facts made our stay May 17-18, 2024 miserable: - dirty and smelly carpeted entrance area and staircase - clearly the previous tennant had been smoking based on the strong smell in the apartment, burn marks in the toilet and cigarette butts in the window sill - fridge not working and door damaged - improper ventilation of the appartment (we needed to keep windows open to the noisy street to keep temperature down) - when opening the appartement door the door closer fell off. Clearly, this had happened before since a piece of the door was missing and the device was fixed with 3 screews only - the sofa was very worn down and very uncomfortable to sit in

Overall I was disappointed with Base Serviced Apartments. Location was great but after that I would rate everything else, apart from cleanliness, as below average and expectations. Access was tricky; there is no proper handle, on the outer door, and the drop box system was trickier than others I have encountered. The heating did not work. The room, itself, was tiny with old fashioned windows so allowing noise 8n and heat out. All in all I would not recommend. The stairs were very steep.

Would not recommend

Unfortunately our overall 2 night stay at the Base Serviced Appartmemts City Road in Chester was very disappointing.Some of the communal areas were looking very dated and in need of an upgrade.Also really disappointed with the room we were allocated.In general a very poor standard.Think room 6 was supposed to be a small double room.It turned out to be tiny bedroom and bathroom.Would we stay here again.Absolutley not.would we recommend to any family or friends.Absolutely not.It is definitely not worth the prices that they are charging per night.Do not waste your money staying here.Wish we had read more reviews about this accommodation before booking.
