After we booked the hotel we got an email to say that towards the end of the year the pub will be shut for a month for refurbishment. This is certainly needing to be done. The comfortable faux leather seats are worn to the point that there’s no leather left in the arms & what is there flaked off & arched to you. We noticed the morning after arrival that the WC has a soil mark on the outside/front, down towards the floor. We reported this at breakfast to staff who apologised & said that the toilet would be given a deep clean. Unfortunately this was either not passed on or ignored during the rooms daily freshen up. We cleaned it ourselves after returning from our tourist walk around the walls & city. We only had dinner on the Sunday & the Sunday roast was nice. Breakfast was great with a good choice of cereals, fruit juices, fruit & pastries in a help yourself buffet style. The cooked/hot choices were ordered at your table & had a good choice & were certainly well presented & tasty. Refills of tea or coffee were offered if wanted.

Great location with a small parking courtyard close to the center of Chester, and right on the River Our room was modern and clean. The A/C was a bonus as the humidity was high. The restaurant/bar has good coffee and breakfast options We enjoyed our stay.

The food and staff were lovely very friendly and helpful. The room was adequate for our needs the bed comfy . The only issue I had in the room was the position of the tv.It was on the wall in a wooden case .There was very little room between wall and the bed . So if you get up in the middle of the night you could easily walk into . We slept with the light to avoid this issue

The location was ideal as we were attending an event in centre of Chester. Staff were lovely and helpful. The room we stayed in was decoratively pleasant however the maintenance of the bathroom facilities let down the experience. As we were only staying for one night there was little to be done. The staff took on our comments… hopefully the issues will be resolved for the next guests.
