Greta Place to stay

A great place to stay for visiting Chester. A few minutes walk to the city wall and you are right there amongst the Rows and bars and restaurants. They do a great selection for breakfast and the views overlooking the river are stunning.

Lovely spacious room which was clean and comfortable. Tasteful, themed decor with pleasant shower room providing soft and fluffy towels and toiletries. Lovely breskfast provided in the restaurant with very helpful and friendly staff. Would recommend for a stay in Chester due to perfect location by the river, yet close enough to the centre of the city.
