Avoid - horrible service and misinformation
Atrocious! Avoid at all costs, told us to park in a dodgy, tiny car park - even though we had 2 pregnant women and a baby with us - and despite the fact that WE WERE ENTITLED TO A SPACE WITH OUR BOOKKN. Service was horrible too. Loads of other good hotels right next door. AVOID oddfellows at all costs

Crap service at overpriced bar.
So a nice boutique hotel, very comfortable bed. Shower door leaked water a bit. No lift as listed building, think maybe they should make that clearer as some older buildings do have a lift. My partner has a disability and there were a lot of stairs. Outside area was nice, but they didn’t put lights on at night. One staff member who worked on the bar ignored me and served the people behind me purely because she thought I may want a cocktail as I had looked at the menu. She was mixing one when I got there and didn’t look very happy about it. When someone else served me I did ask for a cocktail and did comment on the service. She asked the same woman to make it and she answered “ I’ll try”, I told her not to bother and ordered something else. Other than that the other staff were all good.

Great location , but not so keen on the attic bedrooms , good job we were not a tall couple to get in and out of toilet room and the sink is at other end of bedroom and near the nice dbl shower at the back of bedroom which is open plan !The hotel is a venue as well , the first night the music stopped at ten but second night it was 12.30 am and very loud , so something to think about

This was our second stay at the property, as we had been there 8 months prior. The last room was a bit "odd", but it worked fine. This time, the entire property was a COMPLETE letdown. First, let me explain who I am as a traveler. I'm 63 years old, and I've stayed at lots of properties around the world, and expect at least a minimum level of service and value. This means to me -- help with bags, a clean room with working facilities, and some ease of access to my room. The previous room I had was just about at the minimum level, and I booked the hotel a few months in advance, expecting this because of the proximity to shopping and restaurants in Chester. I requested the same room, but it was already booke and I was assured that I would get an upgrade. The room was three flights of stairs up. When we got to the room we immediately saw a large shower and TWO bathtubs in a long room. The toilet was behind what could charitably be described as an outhouse door with the ceiling sloping so you hit your head every time you use it. The door latch was appropriate for an outhouse. The fan didn't work. The mirrord didn't light. The lighting was dim throughout. We turned on the TV and it went straight to some adult channel, and it took us time to figure it out. I'm positive they shoot "videos" in that room. Oh, and I had to haul my bags up the three stories and back down when we checked out. Never, ever again. There is DEFINITELY better places.

The location was great with free parking. We stayed in the two bed apartment and the condition was poor. Lots of mould around the bath, no fans in the bathroom so paint peeling off the walls due to the steam. The toilet flush didn’t work fully and the light above the bathroom mirror didn’t work so was very dark in there. The shower door was also broken and the water took ages to drain away. The windows in the apartment are also bolted shut for some reason. So no way of getting any fresh air into the apartment and no air con. Cups and glasses in the cupboards also filthy, bin in the kitchen all dinted and dirty. Felt like tatty student digs.

Quite an Odd Fellow indeed
Lots of very high reviews for this place and tbh I can see why it might appeal very much to some and not so much to others. It certainly was one of the oddest hotels I stayed in. There was no hot breakfast available which was only advised to me a week or so before our stay although the kitchen was open on other days. The continental breakfast provided however was pretty good so all things considered it was fine. We stayed in a cottage room which was good but had to walk through a private event to go to/from our room and had a dash in the rain to get to the restaurant. The room itself was clean , tidy and comfortable. However there was a definite drains smell in the room which was unpleasant. Also as it was a disabled room the bath in the very middle of the room is probably a challenge to disabled folks using the room. Also the emergency cord for disabled alarm is tied up 5’ above the bedroom floor ( Needs to touch the floor) , ‘press button’ to open the door didn’t work. No pull cord in the shower area is another miss for this kind of room. The glass door to the toilet was odd but it didn’t close properly .. Staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. With No Parking at the hotel we were referred to a nearby (200 yards away) NCP car park … however it was possibly one of the most awkward car parks I have ever tried to park in … I would seek out another car park… Not sure I would stay again but it was ok but I felt it was over prices although it’s location is perfect

Didn’t live up to expectations
We have stayed at the main hotel a couple of times in the past and as our regular hotel was booked we thought we would try the apartments at Oddfellows and unfortunately they were a bit of a let down. There signs of poor maintenance such as the blinds being broken and unable to open or shut. The slats were broken allowing light in the morning. The toilet seat in the bathroom is cracked/broken. Smoke alarm on top of the fridge that looks like it should have been in the hall/entrance as one was missing from there. Extractor fan in the shower room didnt work. The cleanliness of the apartment also wasnt amazing. The tv remotes were all really dirty. The mirrors were dirty and the bedding had marks on them. There was dirt under the sofa in the living room. We havent stayed at oddfellows for quite a few years and were impressed with the main hotel, so its a shame the appartments didnt live up to our expectations.

Great hotel, bar and restaurant Only negative was that we were in an accessible room that had a bath in the room which wasn’t practical at all, and the shower seat needs replacing - mouldy.

Good stay
Location was perfect, lovely area. All staff we came across were very polite and chatty. Small niggles such as loose toilet seat and loose tap. Unclean in areas, where the shower cubicle meets the carpet there were stains, most likely from water. Mould in shower cubicle. This wasn’t enough for us to be unhappy overall but did feel it didn’t quite live up to what we were expecting.
