Great location for stay in Chester
Great location for the races, shopping, etc. Reception staff friendly.
Breakfast was great, not usually a fan of buffet cooked breakfasts, but because the hotel asks what time you would like to eat, the breakfast is put out based on expected numbers so wasn’t left in a greasy dried up mess like some.
We would definitely stay here again.

Well placed for city centre shops and restaurants
Good city centre hotel, not far to walk to all amenities and shops. Very clean and also helpful friendly staff, especially on reception. Food was bog standard pub grub in the restaurant, but the breakfast was hearty. I would stay again but would definitely eat elsewhere.

The stay was great, food was good and plenty of it, the only downside was the size of the bathroom I would say it was compact But having said that the spa made up for it, we were there twice a day and showered there.

Great hotel! Would stay again
Great location 5 min walk to the shops etc with staff who are really friendly and helpful. Large gym and soa facilities
Air con would make the hotel so much better as the room was so hot- fans are provided but they make little difference
Buffet breakfast is a great start to the day!
