“Smart, friendly, comfortable hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Stayed one night in the Premier Queen Hotel for a brief first visit to Chester and were very impressed by the smart, well-appointed room in the 'Kings Quarter' extension. The room was smallish but very clean and comfortable. Staff were very efficient and helpful e.g. kettle was not in the room on arrival but one was quickly provided by Brett who was extremely helpful. A good feature of this hotel is that all the staff are local with an extensive knowledge of Chester. The Visitors Guide to Chester provided by Reception is invaluable.Chester is a compact city so in 2 days we were able to walk part of the historic city walls, visit the impressive Cathedral, shop in the unique 'Rows' visit the Grosvenor Museum and Cheshire Military Museum (very informative staff on the desk). We dined at the nearby Siam Thai restaurant at the end of City Road where the waiters perform a knife-juggling act on the lower restaurant floor - specify you wish to see this performance when booking. Great lunch at the Sticky Walnut restaurant. Still lots to see and do in fascinating Chester so will revisit soon and definitely stay at the Best Western Premier Queen Hotel.

Room Tip: We stayed on the 5th floor in the Kings Quarter new extension and it was very quiet.

“Outstanding.”

Wow, after such a bad experience at another hotel in Chester, where we stayed for 30 mins, this is what we came away for.

Rang the hotel to check for rooms, very helpful on the telephone. Got to the hotel, walked through the doors, taken a back by the decor and the atmosphere.

Greeted by a very friendly man at reception, who could not have been anymore helpful. Check in was very quick but very informative.

Stayed in the newer part of the hotel, the Kings section, breathtaking decor. All decked out with Roman artifacts and the colours used in the hotel, were beautiful.

Went to our room, opened the door and it was just perfect. The massive King Size Bed, the beautiful decor, the spotless bathroom, everything was perfect down to the very cute Teddy on the bed. The room had a flat screen Tv on the wall with all channels, a hairdryer, air con, iron and dimable lights.
The bath was on the very large side and the walk in shower was very spacious and very nice.

We asked the Porter and the guy at reception, where they would recomend to get some food, took their very helpful advice and had a very lovely, inexpensive meal.

After our first night, we went down to breakfast, to be greeted by the host and a glass of champagne and orange juice.
The breakfast had a huge selection, from cereal, cold buffet, hot buffet, pastries, toasts and a selction of juices. Your tea or coffe order was taken from you the moment you were taken, and arrived within minutes and was piping hot.

Nothing was too much hassle from the staff, who were all very friendly. The special offer of 3 free drinks per person, per night, made everything that little bit more perfect.

The gardens were stunning, all decked out with Roman colums and statues, the lights at night made it very romantic and beautiful.

The hotel was very close to Chehire Oaks (discount voucher at reception). The city Walls and also Chester and all its other sights.

I could not recommend this Hotel enough. It was just perfect and the staff ( especially the guy on reception) are a great asset to this hotel.
We enjoyed our stay and its surroundingss so much that we even came away with a wedding brochure of this hotel and its affiliated partners.

The Best Western/Feathers Premier Queen Hotel is one of the best I have stayed in.

“Sensational hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

Sensational stay. Probably the best hotel I have stayed in for 20 years. Started with free complementary upgrade to the Kings apartments, a practice more hotels should adopt when they have empty rooms. Then the maitre d' was very knowledgable about my diet (gluten-free), pointing out what dishes I could and could not have. On top of this the concierge recommended restaurants in Chester which would suit me with my offspring and their children. Also near station, and rapid bus service to city centre.

I will be returning when I am back in the UK.

“Security Problems”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

people found this review helpful

There are secuity problems at this hotel. The doors don't shut properly and there are thieves roaming the corridors checking to see if any doors are open. I had my purse and mobile phone taken. The hotel staff are aware of the problem but refuse to warn guests - bad for publicity! You need to double-check that the door has shut properly.

Dear Mrs. O'Hanlon,

Thank you for your review.

I am sorry you believe you had possessions stolen from your room.

We take security issues very seriously at the Queen and have fully investigated your claim. As part of our recent £20 million refurbishment, we installed a computerized 'state of the art' door security system. Using this, we have checked the entries to your room during your stay and only your key was used to gain access. Nobody else accessed your room during your one night stay.

Considering there was no forced entry, and that scaffolding would be needed to get through a window directly opposite the train station, would suggest that perhaps you did not check the door was fully closed when you left the room. I agree with you entirely that you should check that your door is locked when leaving a hotel room in exactly the same way as you would when leaving your house.

We are the largest hotel in the city, with approximately a quarter of a million visitors passing through our doors each year. Unfortuantely there are dishonest opportunists in every walk of life, but considering the volume of guests in this hotel, alledged incidents such of this are extremely rare and very far between. The exagerated Dickensian image you have portrayed of thieves roaming the corridors is of course incorret and couldn't be further from the truth.

Guest care, a comfortable and interesting environment, and safety and security are all part of our daily obsession of making our visitors happy and have undoubtedly contributed to the many awards won including last year's Chester and Cheshire Large Hotel of the Year.

Thank you again for your review.

Yours sincerely
Simon Williams
General Manager
