Booked the day before on Holiday Inn website and got a double room for £39 including breakfast. The room on the second floor was small but quiet and very clean and had a large flat screen TV, a hairdrier and Tea and coffee facilities. The bathroom had an excellent power shower and plenty of hot water. There was also plenty of power points to plug in mobiles etc.. The car park belongs to the racecourse and was full when we first arrived but we found a space without too much of a wait. The staff were friendly and efficient and the location could not be much better. We have previously stayed out of town when visiting Chester, and paid a lot more, plus the additional cost of Taxi fares so we were very happy with all aspects of our stay at the Holiday Inn Express and would definitely stay there again.

The Holiday Inn Express Chester is in a perfect position for the town centre and the car park is free and has lots of spaces.

The rooms are modern very clean and are well equipped. I was very pleased to find that breakfast too was included in the price of the room. There was a good choice of continental, cerials, sausage, scrambled egg and beans, fruit toast etc.

My only issue was that in my room 321 there was a constant droning noise, it seemed to be coming from room 319 as the walls seemed to be resonating.

I went and asked in reception and they said it was probably the generator. By the time I returned to my room they had switched the generator off and my room was silent.

The staff were very efficient and I enjoyed my stay and would definitely return to the hotel.

I think the main thing to remember is that if you have a problem talk to the staff and they will resolve the issue. Don't keep silent and then place a bad review on Trip Advisor.

Fab hotel, perfectly placed for shopping, 5-10mins walk up the hill, and you are in the centre of chester. Cant complain about anything really, you can have as much coffee, tea, hot chocolates as you wish all free of charge. The breakfast, consists of fresh fruit salad, choice of cereals, crossaints, toast, sausage, bean and scrambled egg, and fresh furit juice, excellent value for money. Would def use this hotel again. We came on a girly shopping weekend, so it was perfect for our needs, I didnt notice any children in this hotel, just mainly groups.

Have just spent a couple of nights in the Holiday Inn Express Chester, It is one of the best hotels for location and value in chester. It is within easy walking distance of the town center, the river and city walls. For those with cars parking is free and access to the motorway is only minutes away. The rooms are clean and the breakfast better than most value hotels. The hotel is close to a railway line (our room was only meters away from the line itself) but i must say that this didn't cause us any discomfort as the hotel seems to be well sound proofed, i actually noticed the sound of birds before i noticed the sound of the railway. I would certainly stay in this hotel again when next in Chester.
