Perfect place to stay for a great price
Pros:

This was a great stay! Room location was good with own private entrance leading to the carpark so easy access getting our luggage in and out. The staff were all super lovely and dinner was 10/10. Location was very close to getting into chester, may be a little tricky without a car as it’s on a main road. Defiantly worth the money and will be staying again!

Cons:

Problem with some pipe from the bathroom leaking meaning the carpet and rug on top was soaked through from underneath outside the bathroom but we just stepped over it, also found quite a few slugs were coming in, I assume from the vents to outside but both not huge issues and has not put us off from staying again.

L'accueil très sympa la disponibilité du personnel le cadre à l'intérieur la chambre spacieuse au calme le resto indien de très bonne qualité en rdc Un arrêt agréable aux portes de chester.

La route passante à côté de l'hôtel l'extérieur de l'hôtel ne reflète pas l'intérieur malgré tout nous n'avons pas été gêné par le bruit et le cadre est cosy dans l'hôtel...

lovely staff and nice room for the price, but location not great if you dont drive!
Pros:

lovely staff and a cosy, clean, and comfy room. after check out the staff let us keep our bags in a secure place while we spent our last day exploring chester.

Cons:

we dont drive, so the location isnt great for getting into chester. it's a bit of a trek up a very narrow pavement along a busy road to the nearest bus stop, and the buses are like once an hour.

Good location outside of Chester, functional room.
Pros:

Functional bedroom with a door connecting to the parking lot, very convenient.

Cons:

No windows, only the door to the outside so couldn’t get any air in during a warm night. Please note they charge 20 pounds if you bring a pet, which I found a bit steep considering I paid 44 pounds for the room, so almost half the price to have my dog with me.

Spacious, comfy room, adequate facilities, would stay again.
Pros:

We had a spacious room for 3 which was very clean with comfy beds. Bathroom adequate with towels & basic toiletries. Tea and coffee facilities provided. Nice dark blind, great for Summer early sun. We didn’t use the TV. Very friendly, helpful young man on reception who also helped me sort out an uber.
Would definitely stay here again.

Nothing.
