What a sad deterioration of a once elegant and beautiful venue. It has been downgraded to a budget hotel, lacking in both comfort and character. The public areas have been stripped of everything related to the hotel's history and heritage and the bedrooms are bland and cold. Check-in was efficient but unwelcoming. It seems to be hotel policy that staff should never smile at guests. There was no heating in the bedroom. It was a chilly night but the only way to warm up the room was to set the air-conditioning to a higher temperature but since it works by blowing air out of vents set high up towards the ceiling that is not very effective. And being a fan system, it was too noisy for sleep, so I had to turn it off when I went to bed. By early hours of the morning, the room was freezing. The paper-thin duvet was no real help. If you stay here during the colder months, I would recommend packing your winter woollies to wear in bed. The staff are unhelpful and unfriendly."Good morning" got a grunt from the chap on the reception desk and a blank stare from the waiter in the dining room. There was a queue waiting to check out but there was only one staff member handling checkout; two others were sitting there chatting. Due to limits on review length, I cannot detail how bad the hotel was, but I can say that If you are looking for comfortable accommodation, quality service, pleasant ambience or courteous staff, then go elsewhere – you will find none of these at the Queen.

On our arrival very disappointing welcome at Check-in. We expected to complete registration form but nothing requested. Allocated a room on 2nd floor without being told access was through heavy double doors and down stairs. This was not easy with mobility problems. Room itself was sub-divided. Bathroom and desk area had no heat.Bedroom was comfortable but heating affected by draughts from air conditioning. Reported to Reception and reinforced when checking out. Restaurant fully booked on our check-in but had enjoyable meals on second and third nights. Staff very friendly and helpful in all areas.

Whilst we enjoyed an upgrade from the lovely lady at the desk, not to our standard, 2nd day our dirty cups in the bedroom still left from not cleaned with cold coffee in the cups. The shower needs some TLC on the screen the rubber falling off.

Booked a last minute stay and decided on The Queen at Chester and im glad we did. Hotel was lovely and clean, all staff friendly and polite. We got a complimentary room upgrade on arrival. We only had a slight issue in that we went up for another drink during breakfast and staff thought we left and cleared our table so when we came back someone else was sat there. But we got a new table no problem! And breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Excellent all round.
From first contact with reception staff to dining room staff to bar staff everyone showed professional at all times. Staff member who stood out was Eliza on reception whose smile was the best. Please pass on my gratitude to your staff especially Eliza. Our train journey home was appalling as 3 trains were severely delayed resulting in us missing connections and arriving home 2 hours late. We need another holiday with you. Thank you again
