A very comfortable, conveniently located hotel eith quant pub.
Pros:

A very pleasant surprise. A great location very close to Chester City centre, located by the canal that leads to the city. A very tasty dinner in the pub - quite comfortable and charming.

Cons:

Upstairs rooms are by stairs only. If a mobility issue you should check with the staff.

Overall happy with our stay.
Pros:

Room clean and comfortable. Shower clean but grouting could do with replacing.

Cons:

Thought the whole of the building could benefit from a little freshening up.

My husband was disappointed there was no draft beer on sale.
