Our shower fittings ( room 109) were very loose, and the tiles round the bath were cracked, so the floor was soaking wet when used. No staff at reception or we would have reported this.

The only positive comment i can say about the property is that it is in the centre of chester and well placed for shopping, restaurants,bars and sight seeing. As for the property itself is very run down, in need of a full refurb - I stayed in room 121 the bathroom needs updating the blind on the window apart from having no pullcord - the blind is rancid the extractor fan in bathroom not working - the carpet in the bedroom is very worn - threadbare in places, full of marks and very dirty. The voile on the window in the bedroom is filthy and has disgusting marks what can only be discribed as some kind of fluid. Broken furniture and obviously has not been dusted for a very long time. Corridors also in need of attention - clearly havent been hoovered for quite sometime. Had to ask reception for service in the bar - no one serving - limited choice of wine - one white and one red !!!! Not exactly well stocked as stated on info. After an enjoyable meal in a local restaurant returned to the hotel around 8:30pm hoping to have a night cap only to find the bar in darkness - when i asked reception if it would be possible to have a drink i was told the bar is closed - really at 8:30 pm !!! Hotel over priced needs full refurb and should cater for residents not staff Obviously will not be staying there again

The hotel is very central great for shopping, eating and transport. Staff friendly and helpful. However bed was comfortable and clean, furniture in the room very dated, not as clean as it could have been, television not working properly, lamp broken. A little attention to detail and cleanliness would have made for a better stay.

Decent hotel in brilliant location. Bedroom very comfortable but bathroom perhaps in need of attention particularly shower door which leaked quite heavily onto bathroom floor and shower attachments which were coming off the wall!

Friendly staff throughout the time of our stay. Rooms and public areas clean. Ideal location for exploring the city centre from the bus or train station. Shopping, eating and drinking around the locality provided lots of choices within a few minutes walk. A comfortable room, a little tired and worn around the edges but, it's an original period building which adds to the character and the Standard King Room was a great size plus the addition of a drinking water fountain in the corridor was an unexpected bonus for me. Only 2 drawbacks: the bath isn't easy to step out of due to not having a handrail on the short end of the wall at the opposite end to the shower head. The fixed shower screen rendered the grab rail on the outer side of the bath useless. I have back and cervical spine issues which means I have a weakness to the left side of my body, unable to balance well and being able to grip with my left hand. Not being able to get fresh air into the room overnight as not even the smallest window could be open just an inch or two. I have fresh air in my bedroom spring, summer and winter as a too dry atmosphere impacts sinus problems and my asthma. Not major issues for most people, but it meant I awoke several times during the night. Lighting positioning in the bathroom and bedroom for applying makeup could be improved above the mirrors. Comfortable beds and pillows plus a nice weighty duvet set - perfect 👌
