The hotel's location is a major draw, with a modern shopping centre right next door and easy walking distance to the heart of Chester.

average stay with some issues

nicely decoratedpoor qualitybad acoustics
the room was clean and nicely decorated with everything i needed.
I found the mattress to be of poor quality. it felt very soft and uncomfortable, and it was two singles pushed together. the room faced the road and got very hot. the acoustics were bad. I was woken up several times by noise from the car park.

I really loved the attention to detail. the aroma as you entered created a cute atmosphere. the staff were genuinely helpful and quick to assist with any questions! i also appreciated the reasonably priced mini bar. It was convenient and affordable.
The soundproofing wasn't perfect. I could hear some noise from nearby bars until late.

The staff was very helpful. They provided assistance with local directions.
I found the noise levels unacceptable. A nearby venue played loud music late into the night. Closing the windows did little to block the disturbance and I couldn't sleep well.

Wonderful City Stay

quiet environmenthelpful staffsuper clean room
Recent reviews caused some initial hesitation. my two-night stay in this city center hotel turned out lovely. The staff, including reception and the doorman, were consistently professional. All the hotel staff were also pleasant and helpful, which I found amazing. My room, situated on the second floor, ensured a quiet environment and was spotlessly clean. I had dinner in the hotel the first night and thought the food was superb.
The view was not great. But. the room made up for it. We did not have any problems, though.
