Staff were incredibly helpful at this hotel, ensuring that we had excellent service and were made to feel very welcome. The hotel is close to the Race course, but also within short walking distance of the centre of the city - a very interesting place with lots of history. Very good choice of breakfast, and there is a strong emphasis... More

We stayed here in March 2013. It is a lovely hotel and the reception staff ere great, very friendly and welcoming. The room was nice and spacious although not much of a view but it didn't matter. The bed was really comfortable with good quality bedding, the little extras; coffee sachets, hotel chocolate and biscuits were great. Disappointingly the kettle... More

Parking at the hotel was a nightmare, small car park with some very difficult spaces. It took over five minutes of shunting backwards and forwards to get into the only available space ! Quite a nice executive room but pretty small and just a small window in the corner that only opened half an inch. We visited the exec lounge... More

Stayed here for one night on a combined business/pleasure trip with my wife. Someone else chose the hotel and booked the room. I do not like to have to enter the hotel through a gloomy underpass. Nor do I like the Crown chain's pretentious aesthetics once you get indoors - much to much red and bling and cheap marble -... More

Took my wife for her birthday... hoped my platinum status and the fact I sent an email, would get us some little extras but it got us nothing! Room ok, good location. I expect there are much hotels in Chester, don't expect their loyalty scheme to count for anything.

Excellent location in the charming city of Chester. Helpful staff, parking available on site, good selection available at breakfast. If you enjoy a decent pint, you will have to seek out one of the many excellent local pubs. The hotel bar had numerous lagers available, but no real ales. I understand that hotel bars may not sell sufficient volume to... More
