"I chose this hotel to be near the racecourse. It is 30sec away. There is one even nearer but it is a Holiday Inn Express. Potential guests should understand this is an 'unstaffed' hotel. No kitchen, no meals and no concierge. You have a keypad for the main door and another one for your room. You let yourself in and out. And there is a machine where you can leave a tip! The building appears to have been converted from a large terraced house in a side street. The quality of my room was very...

"Lovely hotel, our stay was amazing as always!"

"Highly recommended, clean, beautifully furnished, delicious breakfast, friendly and helpful staff"

"Stayed two nights - good size room, clean and comfortable. Good breakfast, friendly hosts, good location with pubs and places to eat a few minutes walk away. Easy to get into Chester from here. Excellent."

"We had a wonderful stay at The Boathouse! The location on the river and just a short walk from the city walls was absolutely perfect. No AC in the midst of a heatwave, but the open windows cooled the room down quite a bit. We loved the boathouse decor and our room felt so comfy and cozy. Staff were great and helpful. Breakfast was great and included our choice of a hot meal. It was also great to be able to keep our car there for a few hours after check out to spend some more time exploring the...

"Very modern. Close to everything."

"Great place to stay for the night! Just watch your head and the wobbly stairs! Would recommend and return!!"

"Great room. Friendly staff. Lovely cat. Industrial breakfast"

"Upon checking in I checked that it was a twin room or the beds could be split as requested. The request had not been received but the staff were accommodating and changed our room for us without any problem, they were kind and considerate and gave us a large 3 sleeper room. The room was very clean, just a few dusty areas on plugs and toilet roll holder and a stained net curtain however, the floor was quite uneven which was a bit disorientating but no major complaints. The hotel is in a great...

"In a great position to walk within Chester and situated next to the canal. The hotel was clean and the facilities had everything needed. I took the opportunity of having a facial in the spa...excellent! Very picturesque in the evening and bar is a comfortable environment for a single woman like myself to have a nightcap. Overall I highly recommend."

"Breakfast was ok, staff really good friendly and helpful but the property leaves a lot to be desired. Very dated and in real need of modernisation. We booked a room with a 4 poster bed then on arrival were told we had a free upgrade to a 4 poster room.... Strange seeing as that's what we requested anyway. Room was at best ok. The bed was pretty wobbly. Ceiling in the room was a false ceiling of tiles like you would find in an office and there have clearly been several leaks coming through from...

"Very friendly staff and very helpful. The rooms were lovely and clean, well-maintained and plenty of tea/coffee in the rooms! The food in the bar/restaurant was very good with plenty of choice. Breakfast was fine - could have done with more choice of pastries, vut the bacon roll was delicious!!"

"Perfect location, Claire was a great host and gave us access to the room before it was finished so we could leave our bags. "

"Clean room and great location."

"Apartment was exactly as described in the photos — clean, spacious, and in the perfect location. The welcome folder with recommendations for places to eat, visit, and things to do was a really thoughtful touch. Alex was a fantastic host, and I would definitely stay here again!"

"Lovely stay at the Doubletree by Hilton, very clean and good food in the restaurant. Spa was relaxing and treatment was amazing, would definitely recommend. We got a free upgrade to a deluxe king suite also which was nice of the hotel staff :)"

"Close to city centre river and park."
