Good hotel position in relation to the city centre. Just the answer for where we needed to be. We had lost our bank cards, but with a call at reception the receptionist made a call to Chester cathedral. The cards had been found. Absolutely perfect experience…….thank you.

I stayed here for acess to the racecourse that is only a few hunderd walk from. The staff checking in were fantastic and had a very friendly personality. The lobby and bar area were all I saw during my stay and was exceptionally clean and nicely decorated. They were also nice and warm that I really found comfortable. The room was great, comfortable bed, spacious and had everything I needed. I would have no problems at all staying here again.

Excellent hotel in the heart of the city centre. Only a short walk to many of the major attractions. The rooms in the hotel are large and very comfortable. There was a huge choice at breakfast and the possibility to order additional items like kippers! Only downside at the hotel is the cost of parking at £17 a night!
