Brilliant location, easily accessible to everything in Chester, parking was only a few minutes away but we were able to park right outside to unload our luggage.

Nice place. Well located. Room wasw rather small and the bathroom even smaller, although not an issue, if we'd been an inch bigger, it might have. Nice staff, breakfast was very good

Upon checking in I checked that it was a twin room or the beds could be split as requested. The request had not been received but the staff were accommodating and changed our room for us without any problem, they were kind and considerate and gave us a large 3 sleeper room. The room was very clean, just a few dusty areas on plugs and toilet roll holder and a stained net curtain however, the floor was quite uneven which was a bit disorientating but no major complaints. The hotel is in a great location with lots of public parking available off site. All historic interests to see were within walking distance with the city wall walk within 3 minutes. Lots of great restaurants nearby and the hotel bar area was fantastic it even has a pool table.

Small room -

Room was very small, shower room was really small.. you could hear the TV in the next room clearly.. the room had been recently decorated but not to a great standard. No parking at the hotel, but you could park on the main road outside between 6pm and 8am no problem. Disappointed that the staff didn’t know this. Bed was comfy and the hotel is in a good central location.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Actual room was nice and big with lovely kitchen and sitting area. Unfortunately the room hadn't been cleaned properly, there was popped balloons and hen night banner left on the floor. A lot of the glasses still had lipstick on them. I would also recommend usb sockets which all modern hotels have now. Breakfast was lovely and staff very friendly, although you have to pay extra for a latte rather than a normal coffee for breakfast, which considering what we paid for the accommodation and breakfast should have been included. I paid for 5 breakfasts but only 4 of us ate so a free latte wouldn't have been to much trouble

Blocked drains detracted from otherwise enjoyable

The hotel room itself was compact and comfortable but was let down by smell of blocked drains . This may be caused by dampness from the bathroom but either way it spoilt our enjoyment. The staff in the bar where we had some drinks in the afternoon and restaurant for breakfast the following day were both very friendly , helpful and efficient
