The hotel's location was perfect, offering easy access to all sites and dining options. The rooms, though centrally located, lacked proper ventilation and had a strange smell. The service was friendly and accommodating, but check-in and check-out were slow. The dining experience was good overall but lacked sufficient staff. The affordable car park nearby was convenient due to transport strikes.

The hotel had some lovely aspects, but there were also some drawbacks. The rooms, though pleasant, could get very hot in the evening as the windows couldn't open fully. Unfortunately, our room wasn't cleaned during our stay. On the bright side, the service was amazing and really helpful, especially with changing our room. The location was great for accessing the center of Chester, but not ideal out of hours. The dining experience was mixed, with overpriced and underwhelming options available. Facilities were decent, though with some flaws.

For the price we paid, the room cleanliness fell short, and the servicing was irregular. The rooms are basic and could use an update, lacking daily essentials like coffee and water refills. However, the location is fantastic and convenient, with a modern setup in the bustling city center. Service was hit or miss, with some staff being borderline rude, while others like Clara at reception were cheerful and helpful. Dining was a bit overpriced and lacked sufficient gluten-free options. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were well-prepared and properly clean, although small with a strange smell, possibly due to its location near a noisy bar. The location was very good, convenient to the city center with comfy beds, but an issue with noise insulation and a maintenance problem with shower gel dispenser. The dining experience was a mix of satisfying and chaotic, with a self-service style and vegan options available.
