    If you are a light sleeper and your room is at the front of the hotel you can hear people of an evening but this didn’t bother us personally

    We have stayed in this hotel before and it never disappoints. It’s not the most modern hotel but it’s very clean and well kept. The location of the hotel is perfect

    Saturday breakfast. Asked to book time No table ready No glasses for fruit juice. No plates for hot food. No eggs bacon or sausages. Cold plates then bought out. 2 had to then wait for eggs etc to be bought out. Saturday night no air con. Hotel very hot. Told reception in the morning and they just said all on one circuit and someone must have turned off so all other rooms won’t work. No apology. Why not take individual switches out of room.

    In town centre close to everything

    Hotel is quite old fashioned and it can be noisy at night as it’s on the main street, but this wouldn’t put me off staying again.

    Great breakfast and the hotel is in a great location.

    We were told that the little bar was open in the late afternoon and evening, except it wasn't. Our bathroom was tiny.

    It's rather impersonal.....the location is great except our driver had the hardest time getting us to it because of all the closed off and one way streets. We had to go to a car park and then drag our bags for a couple of blocks.

    see above

    Location is ideal as it is in the middle of Chester centre, room was good (although I would have preferred it if the window wasn't screwed shut) I appreciate that this may be either for safety reasons or due to the air conditioning in the room but some fresh air would have been nice, also a couple of other small things like the tea/coffee being virtually empty when we arrived in the room, also the 'wardrobe' was quite short, so my partners dress (for the races) trailed along the floor in the wardrobe.... On the whole, minor irritations and the whole visit and the staff more than made up for this, would definitely stay here again... Cannot comment on the breakfast as we didn't have it, I'm sure it will have been good, but seemed quite expensive at £22 per person (per night).... I would suggest to people staying to go and get breakfast from a local small business cafe (which we did on both mornings)

    The room was really hot, we had to run the zircon into the night. The bathroom was very narrow and there was a step up to the loo which was an experience!

    Great breakfast, super helpful staff and the location was perfect. The bedroom was spacious and I lived having bath robes included!
