Lovely meal. The ground floor accommodation which was welcome. Very noisy though as room opens out onto pavement. Lighting in room could be better perhaps above the dressing table or lamp on dressing table.

Everything was excellent except for the price of the breakfast, hence we didn't have breakfast and opted to eat out. It was one fixed price for breakfast which didn't represent value for money for someone who would only eat cereal and toast

Good Reception team. Very clean and spacious room. Good WiFi Shower also good. Let down by a terrible mattress/ bed. Disappointed having stayed previously. Additionally no bottle of wine as per booking was given despite my mentioning it whilst checking in.

A fabulous place to stay in Chester. The staff were very friendly, the location was perfect and easy to walk around from. The pub itself is great, and the Steak & Ale pie is delicious!! I highly recommend staying here and would stay here again.

Clean rooms. Sadly 38 steps on the stairs to my room which was near the top of the hotel and no lift! Situated central to Chester which I found convenient but some might find the night time noise a nuisance. No parking on site which again might prove difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Pleasant stay but if I stayed again I’d make sure if a ground floor room.

Location great,staff friendly and helpful and food really good, Unfortunately the first room we were given was poor despite the fact we had upgraded to a superior room and due to the hotel being full we couldn’t be moved on our second day we were moved to a much better room and did enjoy our stay Would recommend this hotel
