Provides shampoo, shower gel, hairdryer. Clean and comfortable beds and good breakfast. Pleasant helpful staff. Convenient for what we wantes to do. Stayed many times. Hotel a bit dated in terms of decor and comment on that as that may be important to others but isnt to me. All pluses for my wants and needs = outweigh that)

Great stay at the Brookside!

Very restful hotel. Very comfortable, with good atmosphere. Exellent breakfasts. Good location for city access without all the noise of the centre. One small peoblem: the shower in room 19 has a pumped hot water system which swamps the cold water feed. The pressures need balancing, as the shower tends to scald.

Squeaky clean and comfortable!

Really pleased with my stay. My room was squeaky clean and very comfortable. I was welcomed by the proprietor, who was very helpful, as was everyone else that I met. This is a gem of a property that is close enough to be a short walk from the city centre, but away enough to be quiet and relaxing. Definitely recommended!

Lovely owner and friendly staff. Was able to park the car early. Didn’t opt for the meals due to other arrangements. Nice and clean room, brilliant shower. Would suggest extra pillows being available for the bed, but that is a personal preference. Would definitely stay again.

Good location

Hotel room was a bit small to move around. However bed was super comfortable. The traffic noise from nearby road is noticeable specifically after 5am though I am a light sleeper. Shower could do with good clean there were black stains on silicon/grout. Staff very helpful and breakfast good value specially recommend the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Handy location for visiting the city walls of Chester.

Old style hotel

Lovely old hotel, a little miscommunication by the staff. Booked breakfast when checking in but last morning stay all breakfast put away but Lovely Anna to the rescue as was told we not having breakfast even though we booked and paid, Anna brought it all out as had cleared the restaurant and we had a nice breakfast. Rooms could do with usb outlets in plug sockets. Very old world but comfortable and dont forget to turn heating down on radiator like we did was a sauna. The road is quite busy and noisy. But ok
