Christmas markets visit to Chester
A comfortable hotel to stay at in Chester. Close enough to the city centre to walk in passing various historical things. Convenient for the Christmas markets which was the purpose of our visit and close to many eateries.

4/10 Fair

Very Poor
Greeted by lady on Reception who was eating as she attempted to talk. She never gave a good review of Chester. We tried asking about an Uber taxi to take us to a Restaurant that we booked, said Uber was not operating in Chester. She also said only one taxi company operated in Chester. I booked an Uber (So not sure about her comment) Room was narrow and small for a double. Breakfast was terrible, bacon, sausage was overcooked and very tough! Scrambled eggs were like eating rubber, orange juice had a strange taste. Bread for toast was best of poor offering!

Excellent choice for a city break. The parking is easy, right next to the hotel. Easy walking distance to the city sights. The hotel was modern, clean and the staff friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.

8/10 Very good

The Parking is owned by the race course but when we arrived at the security point they had our name and after I'd paid the guard £10 per night (no concessions for blue badges) we parked up fairly close to the hotel entrance. It would be great though if people were told beforehand how the Hotel parking worked. The reception staff were always friendly and helpful and we found it easier to order taxis through them (cutting out the automated booking system that the taxis use) The breakfast was good too. The hotel is very close to the centre of the city but at the moment they are doing road works in many central areas.

Very busy road outside, walls were too thin as could hear next room snoring. Would ask for a room away from main road. Breakfast is good, parking costs £10 per night. Good location to city centre.
