Very nice property with friendly staff. Location is a short walk to town where there are lots of bars, restaurants and shops. The majority of the rooms are in the building across the parking lot from the hotel restaurant and river. Partial view river views look across the parking lot and are quite limited but pleasant.

The best kept secret in Chester. You step outside the gate and you’re straight onto the side of river. Such a peaceful place to stay, yet within a 5 minute walk of the park, town wall and the town centre.

I would love to give this property top marks and if my wife and i had stayed any time but during a heatwave I am sure that would be the case. The bad first, the room we were in was sweltering could not sleep could not even sit for long in the day. The good, great room and en suite. Restaurant and bar really good, with riverside seating. Staff excellent. Food we had in the hotel was the best we had during our stay in Chester. What a shame the room was so so hot.

right down on the the river was excellent and the accomodation was quiet and clean [toilet roll holder was falling off the wall ]the lighting was nice but it was too dim to take a shave.The food was typical bar fare and was ok.Breakfast was a bit chaotic[the staff] and if you arrived in approx. the last 45 mins. a lot of the food was gone and was not replaced, i.e. fruit ,yogurt and on our 1st morning coffee from the cafetiere.All in all i would give our stay 8 out of 10.

All very good. The bathroom fan didn't work and so the room (2) got very humid... those rooms get hot in the sun, so that didn't help. The doorstop was broken when I arrived, by the way, which I mentioned to someone behind the bar. Everything else 10/10

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
