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.

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.

Save your money and stay somewhere else, no soap in the bathroom they knew but just didn't say or give replace ment until asked , room cold heating did not work, breakfast was poor,, tables had not been cleared had to search for glasses, plates and butter.choice lvery limited for a hotel, coffee was in a pump vacuum flask and tasted awful , I asked to purchase a cappuccino and they told me this hotel chain does not have such coffee machines it's a policy. Staff were lovely but understaffed and manager was not available

Good location

Very noisy room towards the Main Street due to no double glazing on windows. Breakfast was very disappointing with very little choice for continental breakfast

Very dated

From the pictures the hotel looks very grand and nice, however i would say that it is deceptive. On the inside the room was very dated and old fashioned. The shower took an incredibly long time to heat up which was frustrating, it also wasnt very powerful. Bathroom was warm Bed was pushed against wall, which wasnt necessary as there would have been space to walk around Staff let me store my bag the next morning which was nice For what it was, id say it was expensive, especially as no food included. I wouldnt encourage staying here to other people, as i have stayed in nicer hotels in chester for the same price.

1 night in Chester

Arrived 18/01/25 and check in was good The room 204 looked good at first glance with good clean bedding. We found a lip gloss capsule in the floor but don’t know if it was previous occupant or the cleaners. Just handed it to reception The bathroom requires updating as patches of damp mould was present The window blind pull chain was broken so couldn’t shower with building windows opposite As we was only there 1 night we didn’t report it Overall the room was ok it’s just a shame attention to the minor issues isn’t automatically done The buffet breakfast was a disaster even though a time slot of 9.30 was given to us After finding a clean table food was minimal or none left Yoghurts eggs some cereal’s mushrooms and milk was empty with other food only having 1 portion Both coffee and hot water pots had ran out We approached staff who said ok and bits of food arrived in bits and bats Other people started queuing at 9.45 but no tables were cleared and obviously limited food available Some of them walked out complaining at reception We also went to reception and was told it had been reported to catering with somewhat of a tiny apology from them Overall the stay was not a disaster it’s a shame breakfast wasn’t acceptable and can only hope that morning was a one off as catering staff was trying their best but getting nowhere
