Weekend Break

We enjoyed our stay but felt that the cost was overpriced for the room we stayed in. Maybe because of the location the room price is high. We ate in the restaurant and the food was lovely

Great location

The hotel is situated at the side of the river Dee. Behind the hotel is the lovely Grosvenor Park. There's a pleasant riverside walk with cafés, eateries and boat rides etc. Our room was basic and clean with a large double bed and hot shower. Breakfast and car parking included in the price (our car was parked about 10 feet away from our room window). The staff were friendly and helpful. Its about a ten minute walk into Chester city centre.

8/10 Very good

Staff very friendly

We had a very enjoyable stay. The staff were amazing very friendly and always helpful. The only negative was the bathroom was cold as the heated towel rail was not working and that was the only heat source in the room. It was January but did not spoil the trip.

Chester Stay

Nice clean room and warm too - excellent heating! Food was good too and the staff friendly. Had I known I should have booked a ground floor room. Outlook across the river Dee from the restaurant was wonderful and would be fantastic in the summer.
