Hotel was great if a little dated and in need of a little maintance. The room was clean and comfortable but thre were some chips in the bath enamel and a broken window pane in the historic window. Staff were great. Hotel met all my needs comfy and central
The room was very comfortabke with very nice beds. Some of the decor is dated.
Very disapointed with the breakfast service and the lacknof a resturant. Bar does not serve pints and its only bottles.
Good but the breakfast was very poor ....
Reason wasnt the food it was the service...got waiter service one day the next day it was help yiurself with not enough food and whennit came it was cold.

Hotel in the centre, with history
Directly in the city centre.
Nice design of common spaces. Room a little outdated.
Single room not big, but okay.
There was noise from a ventilation outside of my room.
Very good breakfast (payed before 12£, in the morning 16 £ Continental, 22 £ full.

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
Great location for sightseeing. Hotel decor could be updated but a beautiful building . Staff on reception were really friendly & helpful. Would definitely return .
What a shame, and disappointment with this hotel. Breakfast was terrible more like a joke.
Carpets in the room with stains . Bathroom tired and outdated
This hotel needs new management
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.

The location makes a tired hotel acceptable
Good location but the hotel is very tired and needs modernisation it’s not the cleanest dusty staircase and light fittings, carpet threadbare and grimes bathroom with no hot water, a cold shower first thing wasn’t great! The breakfast was a good standard and all staff very friendly.
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.
