Room was great for four of us after a day at the zoo and before a city visit the next day. Good walkable location. A small issue getting access but sorted by the host on the phone. Beware: there is NO parking at the property- I booked as it was a highlighted feature but there is no parking here. We were given advice by the host to park across the road in the Delamere car park which was fine (£9.50- arrived 8pm left next day at 2pm) but just an error on Expedia. Found the room quiet and warm. Very comfortable beds.

Easy to find, 14 minute walk from Chester Station. Shops and plenty of food places to buy food for lunch and dinner and restraunts close by. I spoke with Claire, she was lovely, helpful and made me feel very welcome and at home. I highly recomend Maison Claire. I would definitely stay again.

Great location, comfy bed

Stayed in the small room with the garden view which was very small, comfy bed. Bathroom had a few issues, shower not very warm and water appeared on the floor from somewhere. Shower door doesn't close and the sink plug was permanently down. Could do with some repairs / tlc.

Soche Unterkünfte dürfen nicht existieren

leider bin ich zum wiederholten Male von ihnen an unseriöse Unterkünfte vermittelt wurden. Ein Check in war nicht möglich da die American Express nicht akzeptiertieren. Ein 90 minütiges Telefonat mit ihrem sogenannten Service brachte nichts ein. Liverpool als Ausweichquartier ist ein Witz. Es gibt keine freien Zimmer in Chester eine Lüge. Gott sei Dank gibt es hier Passanten die einen den Weg zum nächsten Hotel (travellodge) sagen konnen.

Cosy

Entry is by a code given by the landlady. The room was very small but comfortable. Tea and coffee supplied in the room. The lighting in the toilet/shower room was too dim for shaving. Generally, its a cosy place. The landlady was very pleasant and couldn't have been more helpful. I would happily stop there again.

Shabby, dirty and over-priced.

Room was poor. Damp and cold. We asked for the heating to be on and we given a small fan heater. The room was dusty. Wall paper bubbling away from wall. Shower poor. Towels tiny and thin. No toiletries just a used empty shower gel bottle in shower. Cushions on bed stained. Felt dirty and not Covid safe. Booked breakfast for day two - Clare told us to text her time we wanted breakfast. It wasn’t ready and Clare explained she had been out drinking night before and was running late. She then burned our breakfast and put burned side of omelette reface down hoping we wouldn’t see it. She said she had burned pan. All smoke alarms going off. Food swimming in grease. Not sure whether she was still drunk! She did take breakfast coat off bill but I felt quick sick after. All in all totally overpriced stay. Shabby, dirty and a big let down. Amateur.

Clean practical room, The rate was advertised with breakfast included but they don’t do breakfast so bit misleading. Said they had told Hotels.com several times to change it but they haven’t but do think maybe the hotel should remove their business from the site or do more to make sure the room is advertised correctly. Also makes me wary of using Hotels.com as how many more properties are advertised incorrectly.

You can’t polish a T*%d, so roll it in glitter💥

On arrival, had to phone to get combination of KeySafe - places rather high to left of door, if old or partially sighted you would struggle to gain entrance with combination. Decor very nicely thought out - as a solo traveller I stayed in room 4. I found the bed to be noisy and uncomfortable as to bouncy. I woke at 3am and drove back to London. I sent a text at 6am to say I departed and would not require breakfast while driving using-hands free. Only to receive a rather sarcastic & angry response. No effort to ask dietary needs. I they put as much effort in quality of beds as in design & decor then I would have given them an ok review.

We had a few plumbing issues but were able to move rooms. The decor is unusual but we really liked that. Claire couldn’t do enough for us to make our stay a pleasant one. We’ll be back 😊
