The property, room and breakfast was perfect. The only issue really is that there is no AC so during the heatwave it was pretty tough to sleep. However, they did offer lighter sheets and a desk fan to help ease the heat. Highly recommend this holiday though!

I booked this hotel on a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint. The city centre was within 10 mins walking distance and even the hop on tour bus stopped outside the hotel. We had an enjoyable day on the bus including a river cruise. The hotel room, staff and breakfast were lovely. We had an enjoyable stay and would not hesitate booking again.

Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Plenty to eat at breakfast time. No Air-con so the room was a bit warm as the fan provided was only blowing room air. However, no air con is reflected in the reasonable price.

Stayed here before. Service was good, very clean and helpful staff. Room was beneath back entrance with many delivery lorries in the mornings which was quite noisey. Had a bit of problem with the card access to our room, but staff did manage to sort it. Overall good location for Chester and in and out of the area.
