The hotel has a convenient location near the center of Chester town, offering good facilities and comfortable twin beds in the rooms. The customer service was friendly with a few slow elements.

The hotel is situated right near the city center and the canal, offering a convenient location with a stunning view and close proximity to attractions. The rooms, though boasting a very comfortable bed, only provide an average breakfast despite the enticing pictures.

The hotel was located on the river, so close to the city center and the dual carriageway, offering quick service from friendly staff. The rooms featured a heating system and all necessary facilities, with 4 single beds unnecessary but a large bathroom and comfortable bed provided. The dining experience was good, with gluten-free options available, but service was slow, impacting the overall enjoyment. Despite being in a not particularly attractive area, the hotel's polite service and useful location for sightseeing made the stay pleasant.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the one hand, the location was convenient for exploring the city, but the incessant traffic noise from the nearby busy road was bothersome. The room lacked air conditioning and only had a small ineffective fan, and the breakfast was just average. The friendly service somewhat made up for these issues.
