A really lovely room, it appears to be new. The shower room was amazing, great shower and the tiles looked really nice.
The floor of the bedroom wasn’t clean on arrival but when I asked about it they dealt with it quickly.
All staff were very friendly and the service was great in the restaurant. The breakfast and evening meals were delicious and great value.
We were given £20 vouchers due to our tv not working during our stay which was a kind gesture.
The parking is included and so convenient.
The hotel situation in Chester is perfect for just a short stroll into the shops.
My husband and I both loved our stay here and we plan to return next summer.
Thank you so much.

Comfortable room and excellent, friendly service. 5-10 mins walk to centre of Chester with free parking on 1st come, 1st served basis. Second stay at this hotel, was not disappointed.

Check in was quick and easy, on checking in we were told that TV was not working in the room and given voucher off the price to spend in the bar.
The room was average size, with everything you need for a couple of nights stay, but we had an issue with the lights not switching off reason being the dimmer switch button was missing the only way to switch off the lights was by removing the key card which meant the room was in darkness. We reported the issue to the guy on check in who was very helpful and gave us 2 touch lamps for the room, due to the hotel being full changing room was not an option.
Staff were friendly and helpful and the issue was out of their control.
The hotel and restaurant were in perfect location and very nicely decorated.
The issue with no TV and light problem is the only reason gave average rating.

Came for the Xmas market .the boat house had a fantastic position right on the rivers edge saw the boats out at night training was great. Staff and food at the pub were great.Unfortunately the TV was not working for our 3 day stay but we’re given £10 per person voucher towards our evening meal.This did offer some compensation for not having a TV would definitely return .

We loved the location and the rooms,we had a room overlooking the River Dee.
The room looked to be clean on anrrival but around the edges was full of dust and the bathroom again just needed that little extra touch.
Check in was easy and friendly. Bonus was free parking.
Just unfortunate the restaurant was closed (we did know about this)
Overall we would stay again.

Our third visit here and although we were informed the pub was being renovated we didn't realise the extent of the building work. Scaffolding everywhere and workmen around from about 7.30am.
My sheet was ripped and there were rubbish bags outside our room.

The room was well styled though absolutely boiling. The heater was on 25 degrees and you could not stay in there. We had to leave the doors open and come back later. It wasn’t much cooler. Also Unfortunately the rooms television was broken. We notified reception on check in, they replied there was an issue with all television across the hotel. This was a lie. We had friends in four other rooms and all had television. I expect a television as a part of an expectation in a room these days. Especially when paying the tariffs we did. I explained on check out, they said that they would now get it fixed, though on check in the staff member knew it was an issue. I do expect a deduction should be offered as we were sold it with a tv as part of the package. Breakfast was very tasty. And staff friendly.

Lovely hotel, bedrooms really tastefully decorated, nice touch with tea and coffee would like to see some decaf, toiletries in bathroom, bed and pillows comfy, could just do with a bit more attention to detail in terms of cleaning.
Food in the pub is of an excellent quality, great choice and friendly staff. Not keen on the floor being mopped whilst eating my breakfast as all I could smell was the cleaning products! Pub looking a bit shabby but understand it’s due for an upgrade, hope it doesn’t put the prices up as they feel just about right at the moment. Would definitely stay again.

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.

We loved the location on the riverside and so close to the centre. There is free parking for guests unlike many of central hotels. The food was excellent and the service was fast especially as both lunch and evenings were really busy. Our room was very clean and modern. It was a little hot but there was a fan in the room to cool it down.

Fabulous location, super friendly welcoming staff, spacious bedrooms and delicious breakfast. This was our second visit and we will definitely return
