Staff were very helpful but I feel they needed more staff as tables outside were left dirty for a period of time. I did email the property twice regarding my birthday weekend no response on both occasions.

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.
