Top National Waterways Museum Hotel Reviews

Crabwall Manor Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Stayed in room 53. Located at the top of the manor and a short walk from the front desk, very nice room. Large bathroom with walj in shower and bath. This is a very hot room, I had to plug a dab in to keep cool."

The Mill Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Room was very noisy close to road room500"

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!)"

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."

Holiday Inn Ellesmere Port by IHG

10/10 Excellent

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

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."
