Oaklands is on the outskirts of the centre of Chester. Bus stops are close by but it's also a nice walk (25mins or so) to the start of the city walls. Parking is available both at the front and rear with plenty of spaces and no extra charge. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the room was comfortable, clean and quiet. An enjoyable short stay to explore Chester.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff are nice and the room was okay. Sadly, my experience the hotel was full of workmen who lock themselves out drunk in the middle of the night, shouting and talking to their mates like they’re on holiday. Awful breakfast deep-fried mushrooms and an obliterated microwave scrambled egg. Won’t be going back there again.

Clean & large room value for money

Stayed overnight room large & comfortable with everything you needed. Clean bedding & towels. Bonus of the large pub underneath. Value for money food & drink. Loved the large tvs showing all football games. Could do with security lights up the side when leaving in the dark ! Large car park straight on the main road. Thank you will stay again

Small, clean and reasonable

The check-in staff was fantastic. She ensured we were welcome and checked in efficiently. The room was clean if small and too hot. Clean towels were available and discounts available through the blue light card. Enough condiments for two cuppas would have been welcomed, and maybe a biscuit. Overall, the room served its purpose as we stayed one night for the Christmas market.

Great Place

Great place to stay a short walk into town. Great sized room and lovely beer garden. The only issue was that breakfast did not include any cold drinks e.g. water or juice

I booked a dooble room and a family room with three single beds. Double room was ok, but the family room was also a double room. I complained at reception and showed her our booking. Although the staff at recption were helpful the manager was not. She tried to deflect the situation by saying we checked in late. There was no time limit to check in on my phone. Its the fourth time we had stayed there and there was no issues about late check in on all occasions. She said you can you use the sofa as it doubles as a single bed, but we had to make the bed ourselves. Luckily one of my friends couldn't make the trip otherwise he wouldnt of had a bed to himself

Good location - staff friendly and helpful - room lightening very dull to read anything only bathroom light bright - no lifts only stairs - beds were small I was frightened to turn over incase I fell out of bed - seems an old building g needs a refurb to modernise it - windows didn’t open to stay open enough to get signing and radiators in a timer room very warm- otherwise it served the purpose glad we only stayed 1 night

The Oaklands is a nice hotel with a great bar and beer garden. It is relatively close to the centre, you can walk. The room is nothing special but everything works. Easy to park.

Chester Teacher Training College annual reunion.

Great location with ample parking. Not many premises in Chester have so many TV screens with the bar atmosphere and a very good food menu. Some beers where off but still plenty of options to choose from. I will be staying there next year on the corresponding weekend with my friends from 50 years ago.

Plenty of off street parking at no extra charge. A little out of town but only a 20 minute walk in to Chester centre or a £5 Uber. Co-op nearby for supplies. Room warm and clean. Perhaps a little more water pressure on the shower but still serviceable. Did not dine here but looked like usual pub grub on offer in any other Greene King outlet. Would certainly stay here again if back in Chester for the races or any other reason. Summing it up, a pleasurable, safe stay. Thank you team Oaklands
