Wouldn’t stay here again unfortunately :/
Pros:

The location is perfect, right in the heart of Chester which is ideal! The decor is beautiful and very quirky I loved the bath tub in the room.
The staff were lovely upon check in and check out.

Cons:

I stayed in the Caldecott cottage, there was an awful sewage smell coming out of the sink in the bathroom, the bed was so uncomfortable and I truly can sleep on anything! I’ve slept in comfier beds in hostels. There was also a loud sound through out the night it sounded like a pump and it made it so hard to settle. This was just my experience however, I know plenty of people that have enjoyed staying at this hotel maybe it was just that one room that wasn’t great!

Nice hotel, good city centre location
Pros:

The Cocktail barman was lovely. The Banoffee Martini was the best cocktail I have ever had

Cons:

Got off to a disappointing start when the Receptionist insisted I had only booked 1 room (not 2). My single booking of 2 rooms via booking.com was bizarrely split up so when my niece's room was finally found on the system it was considered a separate booking (which is not true). We were also put in two completely different parts of the building.

Booking.com took the payment 3 days before arrival. I understand cancellation fees for no shows but taking the payment this far in advance is excessive.

Multiple plugs by the coffee machine in Room 1 were in a plug adaptor which I was surprised by. Getting an electrician to put some plug sockets on the wall is a small job.

Lots of milk, green tea and coffee pods however only 1 English Breakfast teabag in each room.

Pepper Street Car Park (even at half price due to being a hotel guest) is a horrid place and maybe shouldn't be recommended. People with big cars did well to be able to park in those tiny 1963 bays.
