"The overall aspect of the property was misleading, the property wasn't of a standard that I would expect from a Vrbo property or any rental property, the cleanliness was far from acceptable, massive cobwebs in a few rooms, stains on carpets, rugs that we really a bad trip hazards, the one at the top of the stairs which we moved, sofa bed not fit for purpose, stains on bedding, dishwasher didn't clean properly, no welcome pack, lights in the small bedroom wasn't working, mold and grime build up...

Top Chester Hotel Reviews

The Queen at Chester Hotel - Handwritten Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was wonderful, the staff was friendly and our room was great! Very beautiful Hotel!"

Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"There was an issue at check in regarding our family room whereby the expedia booking info hadn't pulled through correctly to the hotel. I would recommend emailing the hotel after booking to reconfirm everything. The family room was a decent size, although towels were stained and the free mini's were half used. The pool facilities were lovely. The pool was a little chilly, but jacuzzi very nice and warm."

ABode Chester

8/10 Good

"Check in was easy and a luvly lady at reception made it go smoothly, room was comfy and clean,great shower, I booked 6 rooms for my family for my 60th and all rooms were fine,enjoyable stay but breakfast was very confusing we were told we all had complimentary continental bit at breakfast were we had to pay? After checking with reception he said we were right then there was no orange juice unless we paid and if you wanted toast and croissants with our continental it was again extra money which I found annoying because without those it was just cereal and fruit? Needs to be looked at,also I told the hotel it was my 60th and I had a card in my room saying Happy 10th Anniversary???"
