Great stay

Great stay, the bedroom was clean and comfortable. Good choices for breakfast. We had an evening meal in the bar, the staff there were lovely, We unfortunately didn’t have chance to use the leisure facilities.
Julie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel room was very quiet with black out blinds and a comfortable bed, so we had a great night's sleep. The room and bathroom was spotless. The only downside is that the corridors looked a bit scruffy, but I guess they get a lot of wear. The bedrooms, lounge and reception were great. We didn't use the pool or gym but it looked good.

Smelt a mould when you walked in the room (317) and from reception to the room, you needed an Uber!

The hotel was good in terms of food, welcome, friendliness but us starting to look shabby and in need of decoration
Gary, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel needs a refurbishment tbh, it’s a bit battered and old, signs of much wear and tear, eg Doors with years of dirty hand prints. It’s in a great location and would really benefit from a modernisation. The Restaurant staff were superb, in particular was Mark (on duty 26th Sep 2025 at 1815hrs) who was also mentoring another staff member. He was quite excellent, knowledgable, efficient and not over bearing, please pass this onto him. The other staff were also fantastic, I dian girl was very pleasant and efficient..!

Great family city break

Chester is a fantastic city to visit especially with the children. Lots to see and do. We dod a family trail and learnt do much. The hotel was a great base, just across the road is a park and ride bus service that took you straight to the centre snd easy to pick up back to the hotel. Great to have the pool and restaurant service too the breakfast certainly filled us up for our days out.

Great breakfast. Friendly staffers
Gerard, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Breakfast was okay a few things were lovely but the bacon was too tough, the eggs were only good if you got them when they were first put out if you didn’t they were like rubber! Also the scrambled eggs were very dry. The hotel staff were lovely and were on hand if you had any problems. We found the hotel needs needs a bit of TLC apart from the spa and pool, that was fab. The bar needs to have a bit more choice, no slimline tonic’s which I found very strange plus no flavoured tonic’s. Cokes should have other options not just syrup mixer on tap! On saying all this, I found out that this hotel was housing illegals up to a few weeks ago so things take time to get back to running normally again. Would come again? Yes I think we would.

Convenient location

Lovely staff Comfortable room - clean with facilities Nice gym Convenient location for Chester, Wrexham, Park and Ride.
AE, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in was ok, the room was clean, the bed comfortable breakfast was good with nice staff. However the stay was let down by the bathroom which although clean. The shower screen on the bath didn't stay back, repeatedly coming in on you limiting the amount of room to shower in. The bath towels had marks on them that looked like they had been through several washes, Black/brown on one and yellow on the other.

6/10 Good

Needs a lot of work doing.

Outside of property is dated and tired. Rotten wood and cordoned off areas.Inside hall ways the same. Foyer clean , today and looks like it’s recently been updated. Swimming pool was awful - paint peeling, lots of rust, not the cleanest. Breakfast was good with lots of choice, bedrooms were clean and comfortable

Vaidas, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Problems perhaps affected by the excellent earlier stop in Warwick/Stratford. The premises are looking very tired, the swimming pool was closed for re-furbishment, after heavy rain the ceiling of our room leaked overnight and soaked my duvet. Had to move ourselves to a new room a long way along the corridors. Our room missed cleaning on two occasions, evening meal was served in the bar area where the majority of seating was on high bar stools certainly out of reach for “senior”citizens. All the above was reported for the attention of the management who didn’t even have the courtesy to respond! On the plus side John on reception was courteous and helpful and the breakfast’s excellent
