"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...

10/10 Excellent

"Ko"

The Pied Bull

10/10 Excellent

"Hi we were allocated an upgrade which was pleasing as we have visited a few times. Once again could not have been more welcome by ALL Staff not just reception. The hotel from every aspect is clean as a whistle, (try a visit to its next door neighbour and you can check the standard against it competition Breakfast was as ever delicious to eat and plated up showing the chefs pride in the fare delivered to our table, fresh, hot, cooked to perfection. Tried many hotels over 51 years of travelling as a family and this fare tops them all. During the weekend the bar gets busy without being noisy, music kept low so no shouting required bear &food flow to guests and many customers are locals"

The Mill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The mill hotel is in an excellent location just a short walk from the city centre. The room was lovely could do with better pillows but otherwise slept really well. Breakfast was really nice. Overall the staff were all brilliant and always helpful. Definitely a five star rating from us."

Crabwall Manor Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect our only complaint was that the skylights need some sort of covering and there wasn’t quite enough food at breakfast. Otherwise it was really good. Thanks"

Crowne Plaza Chester by IHG

8/10 Good

"Generally our stay at the hotel was good. The location is good, the room was clean and functional and the breakfast was excellent with great service. The let down for us was that when we returned to the hotel, cold and wet (due to the storm) on the Friday evening we first went to the bar to warm up. I ordered 2 coffees for for my wife and I, but was told the coffee machine had been cleaned and no hot drinks were available, this was at 10.15pm. A supposed 5 star hotel could not supply a coffee? I then asked for a port for us both but was told we don't have any ?? We went straight back to our room. The good points of the hotel were negated by the attitude of the bar staff who couldn't be bothered to help. Will try another hotel next time we need to stay in Chester."

The Queen at Chester Hotel - Handwritten Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was wonderful, the staff was friendly and our room was great! Very beautiful Hotel!"

Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"There was an issue at check in regarding our family room whereby the expedia booking info hadn't pulled through correctly to the hotel. I would recommend emailing the hotel after booking to reconfirm everything. The family room was a decent size, although towels were stained and the free mini's were half used. The pool facilities were lovely. The pool was a little chilly, but jacuzzi very nice and warm."

Macdonald New Blossoms Hotel, Chester

"Lovely large room and beds. Good breakfast. Helpful staff. Rooms a bit cold"

Holiday Inn Chester - South by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were lovely. Terrific with the kids, and bent over backwards to accommodate. Hotel was very pleasant for a budget hotel. Will stay again for sure."
