Stayed 18/05-19/05 for a midweek break.
The hotel is in an ideal location for the centre of the city, just a short stroll from the shops and restaurants.
Managed to get a space in the car-park underneath (arrived at mid-day) however it is small with room for around a dozen cars. Good value though at £6 per 24hours. It is accessed by Russell Street at the rear just off A51
The hotel appeared busy but this did not spoil the break or stay in any way.

The breakfast was good value and a decent variety, choices available.

A couple of groans though....outside noise
Stayed in room 302 at the rear over looking Russell St.
The vehicle & road noise outside at the rear; HGV delivery & refuse vehicles along with "audible reversing" alarms of the vehicles whilst on the street below woke us numerous times the night/early hours.
Russell St is a 'dead-end street' up to the canal at the end, so the vehicles, HGV's etc have to turn around or even reverse all the way out.

I assume this a problem at the hotel due to the new window units which were outside the our room doors, ready to be installed on our departure on Tuesday??

The bed in 302 was the hardest we've slept in at PI this year, having previously stopped at Manchester Piccadilly and Leeds Arena earlier this year.

We stayed at this Premier Inn on 18th May for a birthday overnighter in Chester. Having used Premier Inns many times with varying experiences I was pleased to find that the facilities here were excellent. There is a Thyme restaurant within the hotel, rather than the 'attached' dining that can sometimes be found. The room was as expected - Premier Inn standard clean, spacious room with a good en-suite shower room. The 'double' bed was amazing - extremely large and comfortable!

The car parking is a little tricky - there is a very small car park on the lower ground floor but you would be unlikely to get a space as it's first come first served. There is on-street parking at the front of the hotel and down the Main Street but this is only free between 6pm and 8am and all day Sunday. The train station car park is a 5-10 minute walk away, so drop off your luggage first if you are using this car park!

The staff were extremely helpful - the receptionist who greeted us (Kat) talked us through the best way to get the most out of our visit and directed us to some interesting sights and good pubs all within easy walking distance.

Overall this is an ideally located hotel for an overnight stay in Chester, although the car parking issues mean it's not quite a one-stop shop. We would definitely return though!

This hotel is clean and fairly comfortable, the location is very good for visiting the city. Food is well cooked and reasonably priced. There are no telephones in the rooms and credit cards are surcharged. The ATM is surcharged. Housekeeping is erratic, one day all they did was make the bed, while leaving the coffee cups from breakfast unwashed, yet the next day the room was thoroughly cleaned. Restaurant service was abysmally slow, a simple evening meal, from a limited menu, taking two and a half hours. Apparently this was because they busy, which doesn't really explain why it took 35 minutes to serve a bowl of ice cream.
My biggest complaint is the deceptive advertising. They claim to have a small car park on-site and state that further car parking is available at a nearby NCP car park. "Nearby" is 600 yards (I checked this distance on Google Maps). The on-site car park may exist, or it may be mythical. The "nearby" NCP car park is actually the railway station and Best Western joint car park, so when I went to look for an NCP car park I didn't find it. Therefore I had to park in the street the first night and get up early to move my car to the "nearby" car park. Which was full. I had to return twice more during the day to secure a space.
Now I realise that car parking in a city like Chester is never going to be easy, the Romans may have given us central heating, sanitation and roads, etc., but they didn't do car parks. If Premier Inns had been honest about the situation, I would simply have booked elsewhere, maybe in another Premier Inn, my previous high opinion of Premier Inns (apart from the no telephone thing) would have been untarnished. They would have missed this booking, but could have expected many more in future.
