Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé, facilement accessible de la gare ou de la gare routière. Le centre ville n'est pas très loin non plus, les balades le long du canal sont plutôt agréables.
Je recommande vivement cet établissement pour un séjour à Chester.

Pros:

Other than being told rather abruptly at 2.47pm we couldn’t access our room till 3pm we had a great 2 night stay. He just could have said it nicer. Restaurant staff were very friendly. The room was incredibly quiet. And the fire alarm system worked perfectly at 4.30am when some knuckle head guest decided he needed a cigarette in his room. We have no hesitation recommending Cirencester Premier Inn.

Great staff for a pleasant stay.
Pros:

I had a pleasant stay at the orbital in early December.
Room was no frills but provided everything needed for a good sleep.
Staff were very nice and attentive, both Katie and Louisa were a lovely sight to come back to after a hard day's work.
Local amenities are great and with handy access.
Recommended.

Warm and cosy.
Pros:

Hotel was warm, clean, quiet and very comfortable. Lots of parking.
Reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
We ate in the restaurant and my husband who has coeliac diseases was very well catered for with his food freshly cooked to minimise cross contamination.
Will stay again.

Don't use Premier Inn, too expensive not worth it.
Pros:

Room was cold most of the time, hotel constantly turned off the heating. When we arrived we had half a recycled toilet roll, and towels were hard, after reporting this to reception we received one new 1 ply toilet roll. Booking a Plus room states sweet treats and water daily, this was denied by reception who claimed it was only on the first night. UNTRUE

There seems little point in paying the extra, only to be presented with a room that has stained carpets and cheap soap's that are easily available in most discount stores. Then you have the attached Brewers Fair, no wine glasses, no ice, no working coffee machine for our morning breakfast. Even worst they close a 9pm, with some drinks not available due to no stock and staff that really didn't care if you were their or not.

The food is all prepared in a microwave, and served in or on a plate that is too hot to handle.

Not worth the £500 we paid for a four night stay, never again and have already cancelled two future booking for next year.

Not great. Dirty. Dated.
Pros:

Second time staying here. Booked for me through the company. Rooms are dirty, carpets worn out and haven’t been cleaned. Bathroom is mouldy and door wouldn’t open due to fouling the toilet.

Bed sheets dirty and shower curtain in a poor state.

Connected green king pub is grubby and food is poor.

This is a very poor show from premier inn.
