My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good aspects. The rooms were clean and comfortable, equipped with unexpected amenities like an iron and ironing board, although the noise from the function room till late was a downside. The hotel is a bit dated but impeccably clean compared to other places I've been.

The hotel rooms had an information folder with all the benefits listed, ready for an early check-in with pleasant reception staff; however, the buffet breakfast left something to be desired with overcooked eggs. The service was exceptional, with staff being friendly, welcoming, and attentive, even remembering special requests. The location was central, just a 5-minute walk to the town center, making it convenient for exploring the area; however, there was a disappointing experience with parking. The dining experience offered a variety of choices, but there was room for improvement in catering to specific dietary needs. Overall, a clean and comfortable stay with friendly staff and great proximity to attractions.

I had a lovely and spacious room at the rear of the hotel, right near Chester centre, making it great for exploring. However, there was some traffic noise.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room needed an upgrade and was warm and stuffy, but the bed was comfortable and everything was clean. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff who even left a thoughtful surprise in the room for our anniversary. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to all the bars and restaurants. Unfortunately, the dining experience was lacking with limited options and high prices. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms, although having a slight smell of smoke initially, were comfortable once aired out, and I was pleasantly surprised by the free bar access in the executive suite. The hotel may look a bit dated in some areas, and the sofa bed was not the best for sleep quality.

The hotel offers a typical 'ordinary' business traveler room without comfortable seating for work or relaxing. The temperature control and pillows were not the most comfortable, but the hotel doesn't provide deals for external parking. The staff corrected our issues promptly and were incredibly helpful and polite, adding to the convenience of the central location. However, the parking situation may lead to additional unexpected costs. The hotel's location is ideal for exploring the city, though it could benefit from room renovations. The dining experience provided a good selection with a gluten-free option for guests.

The hotel location is fantastic, just a short walk from the city center and inside the charming Chester city walls. The rooms were a bit tired and dated, with peeling wallpaper in places, and the standard double bed felt somewhat overpriced.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. While the rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, with nice upgrades like a fridge and free access to the club room, there was an issue with cleanliness as I found brown hairs and had to spend 30 minutes cleaning the bathroom before using it. The service, on the other hand, was excellent with really polite and welcoming staff, even receiving a room upgrade and special treats for my boyfriend's birthday. The location was ideal for shopping and exploring the city, although situated on a dead-end street. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with overcooked food and some outstanding dishes available within walking distance from the town. Overall, great value for money with minor inconveniences to consider.
