    The hotel is a grand building but is showing its age with creaky floorboards in the hallway, stairs and in the room where we stayed. The lift being out of order didn't help the impression we formed; however, the lift being out of order did not spoil our enjoyment of visiting this hotel or Chester. We think the decor could do with a refresh, especially in the bathroom, but it was perfectly adequate for a couple of nights. We were surprised to find they have a nightclub, The Red Door, under the hotel that does create noise at night. There is a note on the website to say because the hotel sits on a busy street there could be noise, but there is no mention of the nightclub. We weren't personally disturbed, because we were on the second floor and facing inwards and not out to the street, but we did hear a customer talking about them having a poor nights sleep because of the noise with the staff as we were checking out.

    This hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Chester. The staff are outstanding and certainly made us feel welcome. They were always polite and kindly offered advice for where to eat and they recommended places for us to visit. They were attentive when we needed them to be. The room was a good size and the king sized bed was comfortable. The room was very well heated too - perhaps a little too well and we needed to open the window upon arrival.

    Hot hot the room was. We had to sleep with our window open as unfortunately we couldn't turn the towel rail off which radiated enough heat for our room

    The room was absolutely stunning the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and tidy. Staff so friendly and accommodating.

    From last visit it just seemed they were operating a tight ship.

    The location of the hotel is brilliant. Right in the city centre. The room had everything we needed and was excellent value for money. Breakfast was excellent. Cooked to order. Only disappointment was the bar wasn’t open but receptionist did say she would open if we wanted.

    The hotel advertises itself to have an excellent cocktail bar but it seems that this is no longer the case and the range of available drinks in the bar was a bit limited so we had to go elsewhere.

    Staff friendly and very helpful. Rooms clean and beds comfortable. Easy to access the town centre. We expected it to be a bit noisy being so close to the centre but it was in fact nice and quiet on the whole.
