Very good location - very close to town centre. Quirky rooms in main hotel. Great continental breakfast (NO COOKED)

The location was great with free parking. We stayed in the two bed apartment and the condition was poor. Lots of mould around the bath, no fans in the bathroom so paint peeling off the walls due to the steam. The toilet flush didn’t work fully and the light above the bathroom mirror didn’t work so was very dark in there. The shower door was also broken and the water took ages to drain away. The windows in the apartment are also bolted shut for some reason. So no way of getting any fresh air into the apartment and no air con. Cups and glasses in the cupboards also filthy, bin in the kitchen all dinted and dirty. Felt like tatty student digs.

Lots of very high reviews for this place and tbh I can see why it might appeal very much to some and not so much to others. It certainly was one of the oddest hotels I stayed in. There was no hot breakfast available which was only advised to me a week or so before our stay although the kitchen was open on other days. The continental breakfast provided however was pretty good so all things considered it was fine. We stayed in a cottage room which was good but had to walk through a private event to go to/from our room and had a dash in the rain to get to the restaurant. The room itself was clean , tidy and comfortable. However there was a definite drains smell in the room which was unpleasant. Also as it was a disabled room the bath in the very middle of the room is probably a challenge to disabled folks using the room. Also the emergency cord for disabled alarm is tied up 5’ above the bedroom floor ( Needs to touch the floor) , ‘press button’ to open the door didn’t work. No pull cord in the shower area is another miss for this kind of room. The glass door to the toilet was odd but it didn’t close properly .. Staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. With No Parking at the hotel we were referred to a nearby (200 yards away) NCP car park … however it was possibly one of the most awkward car parks I have ever tried to park in … I would seek out another car park… Not sure I would stay again but it was ok but I felt it was over prices although it’s location is perfect

We have stayed at the main hotel a couple of times in the past and as our regular hotel was booked we thought we would try the apartments at Oddfellows and unfortunately they were a bit of a let down. There signs of poor maintenance such as the blinds being broken and unable to open or shut. The slats were broken allowing light in the morning. The toilet seat in the bathroom is cracked/broken. Smoke alarm on top of the fridge that looks like it should have been in the hall/entrance as one was missing from there. Extractor fan in the shower room didnt work. The cleanliness of the apartment also wasnt amazing. The tv remotes were all really dirty. The mirrors were dirty and the bedding had marks on them. There was dirt under the sofa in the living room. We havent stayed at oddfellows for quite a few years and were impressed with the main hotel, so its a shame the appartments didnt live up to our expectations.

Lovely, quirky hotel. Excellent breakfast.

Great choice for Chester!

Great hotel, bar and restaurant Only negative was that we were in an accessible room that had a bath in the room which wasn’t practical at all, and the shower seat needs replacing - mouldy.

Location was perfect, lovely area. All staff we came across were very polite and chatty. Small niggles such as loose toilet seat and loose tap. Unclean in areas, where the shower cubicle meets the carpet there were stains, most likely from water. Mould in shower cubicle. This wasn’t enough for us to be unhappy overall but did feel it didn’t quite live up to what we were expecting.

I have stayed in two of the apartments (3 and 5) - both have an equipped kitchen/living area, two bedrooms with bathrooms, and a washing machine. Apartment 3 is on the ground floor. Apartment 5 is on the first floor (up stairs) has an additional powder room. The apartments are located in an annex within easy walking distance of the hotel and all the sites in the city centre, about 100 yard, close to the city wall and River Dee. Parking is a bit crowded - barely enough space if all the apartments are occupied. They are serviced, but some days were missed and did not always replace soaps, etc. The internet in Apartment 5 stopped working a few times during our stay. Overall a great option to stay in Chester for a family of 4.

Fab hotel, will certainly stay again

We have stayed in the property before and really liked it, so thought we would stay again. But this time we stayed in one of the attic rooms. Luckily we aren't' that tall other wise we would have hit our heads and just about got into the room were the toilet was and the toilet system had a crack on it. The shower looked impressive (double shower)but we could just about open the door to get in and the shower head was spraying in different direction and not straight down over you.

Great location and great breakfast. But, the room was very noisy! (Room no.8) Thumping music from about 3 until 10/11pm - could hear every word of every song! And the drainage system in the shower is clearly not fit for purpose! Again, excessively loud gurgling whenever any other room used their shower/toilet.

Oddfellows Hotel is a gem! Exquisite decor, outstanding service, and a cozy atmosphere make it unforgettable. Perfect blend of luxury and charm. Highly recommend for a unique and delightful stay!

Good and bad. Room clean and comfortable. Staff helpful. Pillows felt if they were full of little foam balls, and mattress very soft but slept well, once the outside music stopped. On Friday and Saturday nights the music is tired up loud and the bright young things of Chester come out to play. As there were not many people outside they did turn the music down when asked but in the summer I would think it would go on until late.

Radiator in room dangerously scolding hot would burn a child’s skin badly Toilet was dirty with a human stool in the toilet left Not cleaned 2 people behind bar with full of people waiting as the lounges are full of events Busy showing off making cocktails meaning people wanting easy prepared drinks (beer) queuing for ages

We love this hotel - quirky and always bustling. Fantastic singer in the evening too.

Great hotel modern and quirky, nice staff, good breakfast. Good position really enjoyed our stay.

Stayed in an apartment which was very well appointed & large. Quiet location but close enough to the center to get to restaurants and sight seeing. Bathroom in need of some updating but otherwise a great place to stay.

The ambience at Oddfellows is fabulous, I loved the decor, the cocktails are lovely, all staff helpful and professional, I stayed in a suite and it was lovely, the pillows were a bit lumpy and the lighting was hit and miss but apart from that all great.

Staff very friendly, polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

An absolute gem of a hotel, a great find. Clean, comfortable and very quirky. It is in a perfect location to explore this City with restaurants/cafes all around. Felt safe in our surroundings. All i can say as a negative is the bathroom isn’t ideal, especially if sharing with friend/new partner/child as privacy is to the minimum woth all the glass!!

This is an excellent apartment in a great location, it comes with parking and is in easy walking of the town centre. However it is a little tired, the radiator in the one ensuite bathroom clearly needed bleeding and the blind in the associated bedroom was broken so you couldn't adjust it to stop light coming in on a morning, the kettle was also a little temperamental probably too clever for its own good . Yes we could have reported these things but we were focussed on having fun and they should have been noticed and fixed by housekeeping especially the freezing bathroom.

Very spacious apartment, perfect central location for shopping and eating out. Parking actually at the apartment which is very convenient! Just a few small maintenance jobs required to give it a 5* rating.

Quirky Strange to have a bath in middle of bedroom! Disabled access room with restricted access!

We were at a 50th on Saturday night. The bar staff upstairs were fabulous, very friendly professional and pleasant

Our apartment was very spacious and clean. Making a very comfortable stay

Wonderful stay. Great rooms and very helpful staff. We will be back.

Reception staff were friendly and professional. The attic room was poorly lit. The room was advertised as having grab bars in the shower and there weren’t any. The skylight blind kept jamming and it was the only source of daylight. We had a delicious dinner in the restaurant, however the eggs for breakfast were raw and cold. The egg whites were completely runny. The Eggs Benedict that my husband had was cooked, but it was cold. We were the only guests in the breakfast room so they didn’t have anyone else to cook meals for. We wouldn’t stay there again.

Positives 1st: The hotel is in a great location A quirky, nicely presented hotel with the public areas having a trendy vibe, despie the period setting... birthday treat & a desert with greeting was in room. Negatives - steep flight of stairs to the reception so definately not one to consider if you have mobility difficultues... reception staff pleasant, but we were given very little basic info, wifi code not provided anywhere & at no point were we told the hotel doors would be locked at 10pm (stood like fools knocking on the door & ringing bell to be let back in, it was a cold night & 10pm is hardly late - felt like we had disturbed the overworked night receptionist who had been elsewhere in the building!) The room itself on 1st glance was pleasant, but on closer indpection it was in need of attention. Shower cubicle was next to bed and glass so you could see other half showering, using loo etc from the bedroom... not problem, we are married, however, there are large, tongue in cheek signs in the bathroom insisting you shut the door to the shower as they would shampoo the carpet, so uou didnt need to... this would have been funny had the glass shower cubicle not leaked from every seal, meaning the carpet in the bedroom was rotten and looked disgusting. The bed itself was super, super soft, let fown im afraid by dome very questionable stains on the high quality velvet throw pillows..plowsmade staff aware. Sunday night so room cheaper than usual but still expected better

Excellent , Hugh apartment . Everything’s provided , clean , very warm , free parking , right in centre , defiantly recommend, staff on booking in so friendly and welcoming , fabulous

Lovely, quirky hotel in prime location. Our penthouse room was clean with a huge comfy bed, great bed linen, fluffy tiwels and dressing gowns. We loved the fact that the bedroom was 'upstairs' but this may not be great for older people or less mobile. The whole hotel has so mych attentiin to detail. We parked offsite at the Grosvenor Shopping centre a 4 min walk away. Will def stay here again when in chester.

Excellent hotel. Rooms are great. Everything is clean. No complaints. The only issue we had was that we weren’t aware when booking the dinner, bed and breakfast was the the dinner was only for the festive menu and not the general menu. This didn’t spoil our break but it would have been useful to be aware of this at the time of booking. Other than that it was a good experience.
