Great location

The hotel is situated at the side of the river Dee. Behind the hotel is the lovely Grosvenor Park. There's a pleasant riverside walk with cafés, eateries and boat rides etc. Our room was basic and clean with a large double bed and hot shower. Breakfast and car parking included in the price (our car was parked about 10 feet away from our room window). The staff were friendly and helpful. Its about a ten minute walk into Chester city centre.

Would recommend

I stay here regularly and always have a very comfortable sleep, the rooms are lovely with plenty of space, adjustable heating and a rather confusing TV remote! water is hot, beds are comfy, bottles of water and tea of coffee in the room but sadly no decaffeinated coffee. Good breakfast, great choice, made fresh, though do object to the cleaner mopping the floor during breakfast service making the floor very slippery (a worry for someone who has just had recent hip replacements) I have mentioned this before but seems to be overlooked.

Great stay

I had a great stay here. I checked in late in the day however staff still showed great support welcoming me. My room was very clean and was decorated beautifully. The room had a great tea and coffee station and the bathroom featured a selection on lovely shower products.
