For the price per room one definitely expects better. Creaky floorboards, poor lighting, very warm rooms (no A/C) and £10 a day for wireless Internet (in the year 2013? Give me a break...) Nice grand piano near reception and the staff try to be friendly. This hotel looks neglected which is a real shame for the location.

The staff was so attentive and helpful. We had a wonderful room with plenty of space and lots of light. We had a private sitting room with a bath/shower combo. It is a quaint older hotel in the best part of the city right next to the amphitheater - we did not eat dinner there, but breakfast was good (nothing... More

Excellent location in the centre of the city, hence parking at a nearby car park was necessary. £9 per day, reception will verify your ticket. Our room was fine. The staff very friendly, helpful and professional. Lovely old building with quality furnishing but this lacked inspiration, and it was rather drab and unwelcoming. Breakfast was fine. Dinner ok but the... More

The location of this hotel is fabulous for easy access to Chester centre. This does come at a price if you like a peaceful night's sleep as not surprisingly for a city centre location there is noise from the outside. Just wish I had been warned that Thursday night is student night at the nearby club and very noisy when... More

Overall the hotel was reasonable,The food was good but at breakfast the cooked meal was brought before we had finished our cereal so it was cold before we got too it, And the female restaurant staff were unpleasant especially one off them but we did not get her name.Leaves a lot to be desired for a four star.

We stayed for 2 nights 28th - 30th May - we arrived in Chester by Train - it's about a 10 minute walk to the hotel which was no too bad. We couldn't check-in on arrival at 10:45 - our room wouldn't be ready until 2pm. This was no problem as our luggage was kept safe behind reception so we... More

We stayed here during bank holiday and it was roasting! Not complaining about that. The rooms dont have any aircon but you can find a small fan in the wardrobe. The windows only open slightly - for safety reasons of course. It meant we were roasting during the night. The room we were in 221 was tiny and trying to... More

Excellent hotel. We stayed here as we were going to Chester Races which was only a ten minute walk away from this hotel. If you are visiting Chester for shopping, nightlife or general tourist attractions this hotel is perfectly placed for your stay. We had a deluxe room as all other rooms had been taken, great room, huge bed and... More
