Top Chester Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Mill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location. Now the best hotel in Chester."

Moxy Chester

8/10 Good

"Breakfast area in very modern idiom with long shared or low tables. Can get busy. Parking limited at property- would go by train again as parking Chester expensive"

The Queen at Chester Hotel - Handwritten Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and spotless with a really comfy bed. Check in staff were friendly and pleasant. The only minor downside was the corridors weren't cleared of plates and glasses from room service in other rooms, the same mess was there our entire stay."

Macdonald New Blossoms Hotel, Chester

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible location, clean (slightly dated, but adds to the charm) hotel! Air con worked great. Cannot complain and would definitely stay again! Parking only £10 in local shopping centre when validated by the hotel. Recommend!"

Brook Mollington Banastre Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"A really lovely hotel - a bit of a time capsule but immaculately kept and well presented. The staff are all super friendly and go out of their way to help. We spent a couple of nights very comfortably, and the swimming pool and gym are really well maintained and well equipped. We visited for Chester Zoo, which is super close and easy to get to from the hotel. Overall we had a fantastic trip and I would recommend the Brook Mollington if you’re looking for a comfortable hotel in Chester."

Brookside

8/10 Good

"We had a really nice 2 night stay, all of the staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was great and there were a few choices, we also ate there one evening and the food was delicious.The only downside was the bed was very low and not very comfortable for us but others might find it ok. There is also off road parking which is a bonus and it’s a 10/15 minute walk into Chester. Overall we were very happy with our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel."

Luxury Stunning 5 Bed Barn Conversion Near Chester

10/10 Excellent

"This property is amazing and the pictures do not do it justice! The owner of the property went out of her way for us.We had a fantastic weekend thank you so much, will definitely be booking again! "

Cosy 1 bed close to Chester, parking!

10/10 Excellent

"#24 is a fine fine place. It suited our purposes as a second home at a difficult time because of a loved ones poor health. This is a getaway at the edge of Chester where the rural countryside begins. It is very clearly what it says in the ad. Look at the photos, they tell you all you need to know, A lovely bottle if prosecco and a bag of snacks greeted us. Wonderful! A tip to any other visitor: local cab/taxi drivers and their dispatchers need help with the street address. One advised us: tell them you are at the Oak Grange Care Home across the small parking lot, and they know exactly where you are: "People who live call FROM the care home lobby (very friendly!)" Note for public transport user: there are buses to take you into Chester, check the online listings. Do we have some notes that would result in an even stronger endorsement? Yes. Here they are: 1) A one-page "house guide" about appliances and garbage practices would be useful. We did find manuals in a draw but a quick one-pager on the table next to the prosecco would have been useful.2) Only 2 of the very nice pans are "induction" proof. This needs attention.3) The outside light was burned out making it hard to use the key a night. Easy fix.4) Lovely broom, no dustpan. Easy fix,5) No non-slip mat in the VERY slippery shower. Easy fix. 6) Broken coffee-press device. We bought a new one and left it for the next guests.Would we stay here again? Definitely. k and b from Ottawa."
