Super convenient for the centre of Chester
Nice hotel, good value, nice and clean, seemed slightly understaffed with bar being closed and reception occasionally manned.
Comfortable bed, reasonable wifi and clean and good shower once I’d worked out how to get hot water.

Will do for a cheap overnighter
Check in was great as I was able to do this earlier than normal and the staff were friendly. The room however, whilst comfortable, was quite dated in places and needs attention. Cracked and broken tiles in the bathroom and a hot water tap that was not connected properly.

Poor hotel in need of major refurb
Room was roasting hot (no air con), room was dirty and dusty, bathroom was tiny and to open the shower/bath glass door you had to squeeze by the toilet. Windows only partially open.

Tired hotel
The staff were good, but young. This is an older hotel and it is bound to have a few tatty edges. I had a lovely time there but in my heart knew this was a declining set up. A McDonalds chip lay on the floor in the lift at the beginning of my 7 day stay. It was still there when I left. Breakfasts were nice.

A tired hotel that is badly in need of investment. Do not stay there. I travel a lot for business [2-3 times a month] and have never stayed in a worse place.
Staff were great hotel was a disaster.

Ok
Lovely staff and great location. However the cleanliness was poor especially in common areas there was a lot of dust and cobwebs and on the final morning I pulled back my bed sheet to find a heavily stained mattress protector. Also we had breakfast at the hotel on the final morning - the continental part was not as advertised - there was no fresh fruit or pastries.

Never a 4 star
Unbelievably dated, can’t actually believe it was a 4 star hotel. Probably was in the 90s. Needs a drastic face lift.

15 June 2025
Extremely poor service, reception rarely manned, dated rooms in desperate need of refurbishment. Rooms not cleaned whilst staying and towels had to be requested. As for breakfast this was a total joke, items missing from breakfast as they ran out early and attitude of the restaurant staff was disgraceful. On raising the complaint to receptionist, it was talking to a brick wall, no acknowledgment of the issues we raised. Definitely won’t be staying here again.
