The room was really lovely, warm and felt really homely. It was clean, had what we needed, although in the centre of town, it wasn’t noisy overnight. The staff were really helpful, breakfast was lovely too. Location is brilliant, step outside and you are in the thick of it. Would definitely stay again.

Room was beautiful. Gorgeous bathroom however, i felt like i was sleeping on the street. The noise level outside the window is awful. Hotel needs to consider double glazed screens.

Room clean and tidy. Nice place overall. Unfortunately very loud into early hours on Friday and Saturday night. If you're intending to be out partying until 2am, great location and no issue

Really enjoyed the ambience at the Pied Bull and the staff were all welcoming, helpful & friendly. Our room was comfortable though the bed was a bit creaky. That said I slept well in it! The hotel was quiet & comfortable with a great selection of drinks at the bar and the breakfast was plentiful and tasty. We enjoyed it so much we’re returning in December. Thank you to the staff & hotel for being the perfect hosts for the visit to a wonderful city.

The room was pleasant but had a foisty smell to it. Lots of noise from outside but expected in a town centre. Free bottle of wine easily obtained from the bar. Breakfast was nice but expensive.

The hotel was lovely, but as the building is old it gets quite noisy and the drains were very smelly. Seems this is just a Chester problem!
