Squeaky clean and comfortable!

Really pleased with my stay. My room was squeaky clean and very comfortable. I was welcomed by the proprietor, who was very helpful, as was everyone else that I met. This is a gem of a property that is close enough to be a short walk from the city centre, but away enough to be quiet and relaxing. Definitely recommended!

I loved this Hotel. Very welcoming and friendly. I particularly liked the fact that the breakfast was freshly made to order and piping hot, no lukewarm buffet. Good evening meal options also. Within a mile to Chester town to walk or staff will call you a taxi. Will definitely return

Nice hotel with friendly staff but dont eat there!

Parking is limited in the small car park but I found a space. The hotel is nice and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The hotel and rooms are dated so if you like that you will like it here. The bed for me was small and a bit lumpy but otherwise, I had a good sleep. Expensive small bottled beers and no draught beer. The menu is limited, I didn't eat in as the town is a 15-minute walk away with better restaurants. Lots of lounge areas to relax in and meet people. Full English Breakfast was cooked to order however the food quality was not that great. The sausage was cheap tasting and overcooked, mushrooms had I think paprika over them which made them taste funny, otherwise the rest is ok.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We wanted a somewhat old-fashioned and traditional experience, but the hotel was a little too old fashioned. Because it was October, the lack of air conditioning wasn’t a problem - but it would be a different story if it was a really hot summer day. There seemed to be ample parking, but both nights that we returned from supper about 8:00pm, the lot was full of vans and there was no where to park. The staff were helpful in my finding on street parking, but it was a very narrow street and I was concerned about my rental car getting side-swiped.

Provides shampoo, shower gel, hairdryer. Clean and comfortable beds and good breakfast. Pleasant helpful staff. Convenient for what we wantes to do. Stayed many times. Hotel a bit dated in terms of decor and comment on that as that may be important to others but isnt to me. All pluses for my wants and needs = outweigh that)

Great stay at the Brookside!

Very restful hotel. Very comfortable, with good atmosphere. Exellent breakfasts. Good location for city access without all the noise of the centre. One small peoblem: the shower in room 19 has a pumped hot water system which swamps the cold water feed. The pressures need balancing, as the shower tends to scald.
