Beautiful hotel in Chester
Pros:

The hotel has a beautiful relaxed feel to it. Immaculately clean, feels quite boutique with beautiful decor. The
bed was really comfortable with comfy pillows. The breakfast was really good, there was lots of choice on the menu, we had the full English which was plentiful and very tasty!
Staff are all really friendly, check in was fast and efficient.
We have stayed in chester a few times and this is by far our favourite hotel.

Cons:

Nothing to not like, our stay was perfect!

Great location Good staff but overpriced
Cons:

Rooms need redecorating… the bathroom door was awful, glass , I don’t really want to see my partner sat on the toilet thank you. A decent coffee tray in the room with good quality items would be better than the awful coffee machine. Staff were lovely though . Not value for money .

Insects are an absolute no! Not comfortable and therefore overpriced. Wouldn’t stay again.
Pros:

Good location, nice front of house staff.

Cons:

Rooms were old with no usb ports - for those wanting up-to date extras this is a no-go. The room was also cramped with an oddly placed bath within the already cramped room. We were also not made aware that it was a disabled room with accessible equipment in the bathroom.
There was no vanity mirror on the dressing table. There were ants all over the room, on the dresser and side tables, crawling on the bed, and all over the floor. Bed was two singles put together that made a substantial gap. Pillows wear awful - so badly stuffed it almost felt like cotton wool balls rather than pillow stuffing, and bed covers weren’t very warm. However it was clean.

A good find.
Pros:

Much more spacious than I expected. Great location

Cons:

Quite dark inside and the sofa bed was completely wonky. Our guest who was supposed to sleep on the sofa bed just slept on the other sofa.

Lovely stay
Pros:

Loved the quirkyness of this hotel. The room was very comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was lovely. The secret garden is a gem. Very central and a 50% discount for the Pepper street car park just down the road.
