    "Excellent welcome, good food, charming flexible helpful staff, clean room, flexible check in times. Recommended for visits to Chester, the most complete Roman walled city anywhere. "

    Excellent included breakfast, good heating, safe free parking, easy access to Chester town centre, sufficiently off main road for traffic noise not to be obtrusive, flexible access to motel style rooms.

    Not the cheapest hotel, but excellent food and good staff may make it the best choice.

    Shower was appalling - shiveringly weak. Also wood rotting behind bathtub. The greasy cooked breakfast was grim.

    "Chester is a lovley destination, this would appear very poor accomodation for a Hotel and would use a bed and breakfast in future. "

    Easy to find

    Shower bearly worked. Tiles in bathroom hanging off wall due to mould, accomodation decor and facilities very dated and overall very poor value for money, inability to cater for a vegatarian breakfast despite specific request at time of booking.

    "If only we had had a good nights sleep."

    Friendly staff, clean and tidy, good location.

    Asked for upper floor did not get it. The floor boards of the room above creaked very badly and the people in the room above us kept us awake all night, walking around. There was also some random plumbing type noises?

    "staff were very pleasent nothing was to much trouble and the food was good ."

    we arrived earlier than expected but this was not a problem as our room was already done and waiting for us

    not exactly a bad point but there was 3 of us ok my daughter is only 4 but there was only 2 cups for drinks and in the bathroom only had complementary shampoo and bath gel for 2.

    from Cardiff UK, stayed on June 17, 2009

    "Very enjoyable, nice people, nice hotel/motel. We thought it gave good value for money - not the Ritz but not Ritz prices either. We would go back just for the breakfasts. As mentioned we booked an extra night as the room was still available - can't really give a better opinion than that."

    Made to feel welcome on arrival, room ready and tidy, excellent breakfast, helpful staff giving details of bookings and making them for attractions in the area. Theses were made available at slight reductions. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Enjoyed stay so much that we booked an extra night.

    None really, except the shower could have been a bit more powerful - which is nit-picking a bit considering everything else.

    Friendly staff, good breakfast, convienent parking,comfortable bed

    carpet needed cleaning especially under bed and units. plaster cracked around ceiling light, could'nt adjust shower position, pot luck as to whether the toilet would flush, television position on wall not ideal, though did'nt try to see if could adjust.

    Excelent breakfast and very friendly staff.

    Room decor tired. Heating worked badly. Advertised WI-FI in all rooms was wrong as it was in public rooms only. Unfortunately I required access in peace and quiet for study which was the reason I booked this hotel.

    "Good for overnight stay."

    good breakfast; good heating

    No Internet wifireception in family room, but was available in Front desk area and dining room however, these areas were not open 24x7. Bathroom could be cleaner, some mould on tiles/grout. Room size just OK for 3 people for overnight stay, but would not be large enough for extended stay. No reading lamps by bedside.

    "good in general. staff were very heplpful and friendly."

    Like that the rooms are accessed externally instead of having to go through hotel reception.

    Rooms could maybe do with updating

    "Served the purpose we needed. We were visiting our daughter who is at Chester University and to shop. "

    Breakfast very good. Staff friendly. Room warm.

    Room a little dated. Bar not open? Disappointed that the request fro Shoppers special was not delivered. If we had been in a 2 bed room this would have been automatic.

    "It was a very pleasant and relaxing stay. The cost seemed high only because of the exchange rate of the currancy between the US and the UK."

    Door handle was missing on the bathroom door making it difficult to close... a very minor but inconvenient point.

    from Wortley leeds UK, stayed on October 22, 2008

    "Pleasant comfortable hotel, fabulous staff and facilities, close enough to centre 15 min walk. would definately recommend to friends and would definately stay there again."

    The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Room was bigger than expected.

    Expected WiFi access in my room, as advertised on website but was only available in the hotel lounge/reception, which was comfortable and pleasant so no great shame.

    "I was looking for a hotel urgently. Booking was easy and receiving confirmation was acceptable. I couldn't access wireless internet at my room and I also need password. Staffs were kind. Breakfast was acceptable but I can't say excellent. If room rate is 45 ~ 50 GBP, it will be fair. Thank you."

    It was easy to make a reservation through the internet.

    Hotel rate was expensive compare with other B&B near this hotel.
