Pros:

Good location, comfy bed, interesting looking bar area but it was a Tuesday so very very quiet.

Cons:

For some unknown reason we were given a disabled room, it was a Tuesday night so the place wasnt busy but seemed a bit strange to be allocated this room. We didnt bother to question it as I'd got a good genius rate and we were dashing out to meet friends, but it would put me off staying here again. Its a faff having to dry off the toilet seat and surrounding areas after having a shower, the water didnt want to go down the plug quickly either so the showers had to be quick to avoid it flooding out into the room. We did report that on leaving so hope it got looked at?

Lovely boutique hotel with lots of quirky bits.
Pros:

Lovely quirky hotel great location and not too noisy.

Cons:

The only thing I didn’t like
Before we arrived I had communicated with the hotel it was our anniversary during our stay. They said the room would have some extra special touches when we arrived. Box of chocolates.. champagne and rose petals. Unfortunately nothing was in the room when we arrived but not to worry as we still enjoyed our stay.

Pros:

Il centro di Chester è molto vicina, la camera è ampia. Le camere non sono nella struttura principale ma in un edificio alle spalle del bar. La proprietaria è stata molto gentile.

Cons:

Il bagno è poco funzionale, manca di privacy, l'acqua della doccia esce e bagna la moquette della camera. La receptionist non è stata molto gentile nell'accoglienza e nel fornire le informazioni richieste.
