Property ideally centrally located. Reception staff friendly and efficient. Room could do with an update, towel rail connection held together with tape, dusty in some areas, generally clean, no remote for tv but can be controlled by buttons on the side of the tv, this gives you restrictive control.

Friendly staff but unfortunatly the room was not up to standard. Towel rail wires exposed ,light shades very dusty. Breakfast was not the best. Stayed a few months earlier on the third floor and the room there was to a better standard.

It’s a struggle to find anything positive to say about the hotel, other than its location. Our room was in need of a good polish. The main light in the room was in need of replacement and the toilet didn’t work properly. The breakfast was average. We did raise our concerns and were told the hotel manager would speak to us. The manager was conspicuous by his absence. The location Is literally the only reason for 2 stars

Fantastic value for money

Exceptional value for money! Stayed in a suite which was huge and also meant the kids and adults had separate but adjoining rooms. Location is excellent with cheap parking Very close by. Very clean and quiet, staff were all lovely and kids got a free breakfast which was very nice. Only slight issue was a lack of hot water when trying to use the shower. You won't find better value for your money in Chester.

Cold shower

We had a lovely stay, despite shower was cold and when mentioned to reception staff upon checking out, was told would make a note and that everyone who had stayed had experienced the same. Hotel and decor is dated in the rooms, bed was comfortable and room temperature was ok. Outdoor noise was a little disturbing early hours in the evening, lots of stairs.
