I would love to give this property top marks and if my wife and i had stayed any time but during a heatwave I am sure that would be the case. The bad first, the room we were in was sweltering could not sleep could not even sit for long in the day. The good, great room and en suite. Restaurant and bar really good, with riverside seating. Staff excellent. Food we had in the hotel was the best we had during our stay in Chester. What a shame the room was so so hot.

All very good. The bathroom fan didn't work and so the room (2) got very humid... those rooms get hot in the sun, so that didn't help. The doorstop was broken when I arrived, by the way, which I mentioned to someone behind the bar. Everything else 10/10

Weekend Break

We enjoyed our stay but felt that the cost was overpriced for the room we stayed in. Maybe because of the location the room price is high. We ate in the restaurant and the food was lovely

We felt so lucky to have found and stayed here. The location is fantastic, being on the riverside and so close to the town centre. We loved watching the rowing clubs in action right outside the restaurant. The staff, food and choice of drinks were more than we could have hoped for. The room itself wasn't horrible but I've stayed in a lot better. The bed was quite hard and was just two singles pushed together. The toilet seat didn't appear to be very clean with heavy yellow stains underneath. There were strange ornaments above the bed which were actually rowboat seats, not a problem but when laying on the bed you could see they were really thick with dust behind. The shower cubicle was big and superbly clean. We would definitely stay again.

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.
