We stayed here in June and were horrified with this place. First of all, to stay somewhere for £40 per night our expectations were fairly low - but this place is going about daylight robbery. The place is pretty much a scam and don't be fooled into thinking that "you get what you pay for". Here, you do not. The... More

Rooms not up to much but adequate. Clean bed and room. Breakfast was fine although no choices given. Staff very friendly and helpful. Free parking and early check in a bonus. Could do with a woman's touch. Stayed here on race day so it was a bargain.

Its in a good location 10 minute walk into the city centre. From the outside it looks okay. you eat breakfast in the reception! the rooms: the walls are extremely thin (we could hear someone opening their curtains a few doors down!) The shower goes from boiling hot to freezing cold on its own. The toilet seat in the bathroom... More

My friend booked this hotel for one night's stay just before Christmas. After logging onto this site and reading the reviews we arrived with what can only be called trepidation and were shown to our room only to be quite pleasantly surprised. I assume the hotel wasnt busy so we had been "upgraded" to a family room that, although it... More

My friend and I live in Wales and we needed somewhere cheap to stay for the night so we could check the town out. All together the room cost us £50 which is pretty cheap, but I now understand why. When we arrived in Chester, we called the hotel for directions to the on site parking. We were guided down... More

Having driven past this guest house on several occasions I discounted the negative reviews on the basis that it looks quite smart on the outside and is in a great location, along with many other Chester hotels, between the train station and the city centre. Inside, however is pretty depressing. The decor is grotty and the furnishings tatty. I didn't... More

This hotel does what it says on the tin. It's not expensive and it's not luxury. Staff are friendly and there to help. If your on a budget then this is a very good option. The rooms are a little dated but if your not looking for glam then this does not matter. Our shower broke but the staff were... More

DO NOT STAY HERE! When you walk into your room and 10 flys are buzzing round you...you know you're off to a bad start. The (shared) toilet was disgusting. Poo or dried blood on the floor and urine on the seat. Reception was untidy/unhelpful with a couldnt be bothered attitude. Room was like a box with run down carpets/cracked sink/many... More
