Fantastic location, good clean hotel in town centre. No hot water at 6.30 pm for a shower before going out for dinner and breakfast a little pricey.

Enjoyable stay
Excellent check in & nice clean room but beware of the low beams with it being a very old building. Overall a good experience at the Pied Bull.

Acceptable stay in Chester
This was a perfectly fine hotel. Had a room that was outside access down the side road. Lots of road noise from bin men starting around 3 am, and drunks prior to that. All survivable and in the city.
The room was fine - a bit worn, and the bed was a bit old feeling, but fine.
Restaurant was good - I didn’t eat - but I had a drink and it was nice.

Lovely place and full of quirks - some are charming and make you giggle (stairs and plumbing arrangements), others not so (noise from the bar in a first floor room and ).
Glad we stayed and the food was good.

Pied bull weekend
I love tradition so staying in a place of history was part of my choice to stay there. Basic but clean and did the job for our stay. Staff friendly and welcoming. Great location too.
