"The overall aspect of the property was misleading, the property wasn't of a standard that I would expect from a Vrbo property or any rental property, the cleanliness was far from acceptable, massive cobwebs in a few rooms, stains on carpets, rugs that we really a bad trip hazards, the one at the top of the stairs which we moved, sofa bed not fit for purpose, stains on bedding, dishwasher didn't clean properly, no welcome pack, lights in the small bedroom wasn't working, mold and grime build up...

Top Chester Hotel Reviews

The Mill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel in a good location, easy access to different parts of Chester. Close to the canals and the wall for nice walks. Nice rooms, with coffee and tea supplied, nice large bathroom, beds very comfortable, and rooms cleaned every day. Breakfast was excellent, help yourself to cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurts and full english, plus coffee, tea and juices. All staff are very welcoming, pleasant and helpful. Great bar area to relax and have a drink and chat after having a nice day around Chester. Also has Sky Sports on, if you want to watch. Also ample parking right outside. Can't think of anything bad about this hotel. Have stayed here many times over the years and will be returning soon. Thanks for an enjoyable stay."
