"Rather pleasant stay. Room was excellent. Very very comfortable bed. Gym facilities were also excellent. Great equipment. Food was also very nice. However, was not a fan of the scrambled eggs at breakfast, seemed watery and slightly raw. I also would like to make a special mention to Rafat who was absolutely exceptional member of the team who went above and beyond with room service. Rafat was extremely pleasant, kind and very very helpful. So thankyou for the kind hospitality shown Rafat. 5 star service! And that service alone is why I will be returning!"

"I stayed in a Club Double which was well maintained and had the usual facilities for a 3 star hotel. I didn't use the gym but the swimming pool and spa facilities were easy to use and most pleasant. Close to the station, bus interchange and to the centre of Chester whilst not being right in the middle. The buffet breakfast was OK for a 3 star hotel but the quality of the coffee could be improved!"
