Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Great location, loved the fact we had everything on our door stop & parking was great too! Thank you so much for fresh milk, absolutely brilliant to see in the fridge. Coffee taste so much better than that uht milk. I normally pass on the drink but great to have one first thing in the morning. Bonus! Room was small but adequate & loved the stained windows.
A slight damp smell in the bathroom but tbh most old properties in the area are all the same.
It was located in center, near by restaurants, shops, etc. It was clean and quiet. Car parking areas nearby..
Bathroom/shower was quite small. No kitchen facilities and lounge..
Excellent location. Very nice room, friendly staff.
The welcome was most kindly and put one at ease immediately. All went very well and the location was very close to all of the sites, which one wanted to visit.
As I did not have roaming on my phone, the place was difficult to find for me. This, of course, was my fault.
Very clean,lovely room and in the centre of Chester.

Super clean. Very central. Easy communication with the staff outside of checking in ours. Very happy. Great value for money.
Nothing. All fine.
Good location, close to centre but far enough out, staff we're very friendly, room clean and well equipped, decent shower, lots of plugs available and a fan which you don't always get. but we would stay there again
only minor negative was the wifi signal in Room 5 was a bit weak and dropped out but not an issue
Great location. Clean. Fresh milk nice touch. Parking 2 mins away. Great instructions on getting there and getting in and parking.
Lovely little place ideal distance to everything
Very comfortable room with all the amenities. We loved the fact that there was a small fridge in the room. Easy access. Very clean. Location is very good with easy access to public transportation, and within walking distance of all main sights in Chester.
A very enjoyable stay. The only thing "missing" is a breakfast option.
Logement très propre et tout près du centre-ville. Personnel agréable et arrangeant.
La chambre pour un seul adulte est un peu chère et un peu étroite.
Very cosy and in a good location.
The host was very nice and provided information about the city, and welcomed us warmly.
The room and shower was a bit tired
Friendly, welcoming and accommodating hosts. Clean, spacious, comfortable ensuite room with tea/coffee/biscuits and fridge containing fresh milk and a bottle of water. Great location, short walk to city centre, river and racecourse. Highly recommended, we would definitely stay here again.

Such a lovely start to our trip, the owners were kind and welcoming. We loved our night here.
Very good place.
Handy location for going out in town. I was contacted as soon as the room was ready which meant I was able to check in early. The bed was comfortable, and there was a fan in the room. Better value than the Travelodge round the corner for a solo traveller
There was noise from the pub across the road until about midnight, so this could be something to factor in if you were hoping for an early night. (This may have been a one off for the Pride Festival which was on the day of my stay).
The location the hosts everything was ideal.

Good location. Very friendly and helpful staff.
No toiletries provided. A bit basic.
Comfortable and clean and was very close to the local amenities. Will stay again
Not a huge fan of stairs but that’s personal preference not a judgement on the property
Great location. Clean. Comfortable.

We didn't expect much so when we were welcomed by staff, given advice on places to get meals, shop etc. we were very pleased. The room was not big but had everything we needed and wanted. Definitely we will go back!
There was nothing we didn't like.
Švaru, jauku,puiki vieta,viskuo pasirūpinta.
Nice room, for one night. Good location and good price
Maybe needs a little tlc
地理位置很好,房间温馨舒适,工作人员十分友善!

Het was een kamer in een prachtig oud huis. Fijn dat het op de begane grond was. Het is aan een doodlopende straat, waardoor je geen overlast hebt van verkeer. Heel prettig dat het raam open kon. Niet vergeten dat je het dichtdoet voor je weggaat. Het was fijn om een eigen koelkast te hebben, zeker met het warme weer(plus 30 graden). Vlakbij het centrum, alle leuke musea en de stadsmuur. De gastvrouw was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Tv op de kamer was ook fijn om even tot rust te komen. Fijn dat de deur op slot kan met een sleutel.
De badkamer was wat verouderd en leek daardoor minder schoon. Het is een erg grote opstap om het huis in te komen, voor mij geen probleem, maar goed om rekening mee te houden. Het is een vrij klein bed voor 2 personen, gelukkig was ik alleen.
Great location, close to the river and also the shops and restaurants
Could have had more toiletries for the shower
Very near to all local amenities and just a short walk to the shops and bars

Great location, comfortable rooms
Very friendly owners, clear instructions for the self check in. I arrived late and left early and the owners did the best to make my short stay as comfortable as possible. Really good value as well for the price. I would book here again.
Brilliant location. Thoughtful touches like fan and cold water on a hot day. Host very welcoming and informative Very comfortable room
The shower wasn't the best but it was functional
Clean, convenient, friendly and helpful
Within the old city walls. Easy to park and explore Chester. Very welcoming.
Room was spotless, even had a little fridge with milk and water in. The owners are lovely! We will definetly be back. The location is also super close to bridge street so great access to everything.

Really good stay. Lovely room (window to die for), great location and good pub next door was a bonus. Staff very very accommodating and helpful. Whilst no car parking (it is a central location people) a cheap car park is within 5 mins walk. Had a lovely stay would use again if in Chester
Very little
Central location. Pedestrian access to whole city
The heatwave affected room temperatures and ground floor accommodation meant one window locked
Friendly and welcoming. The only remaining guest house within the old city walls. Accessible for city sites, but Very quiet lane for sleeping. Handy free parking nearby after 3pm. Would stay again.
Location, location, location! Very centrally located, easy to find. 20 min walk from the station. Friendly owners. Chilled water and milk provided in the fridge, along with a fan for the very warm temperatures. Room 2 very reasonably sized for an English guest house. Shower pressure good, and instant hot water. You get your own front door key for after hours, and there is a drop box if you leave early.
Bathroom in room 2 is narrow and may be a challenge if you are super tall or wide!. Generally the room (bed and bath) was very clean, but there were signs of damp in the grout in the bathroom. It was very warm when I visited, and only one window opened a few inches, but the fan was gratefully appreciated!
Great price. Location excellent. Patient host we where late.
Abit small.
The hotel surpassed all my expectations! The staff was welcoming and accommodating. The room is nice and clean, I will certainly return during my next visit!
Nothing
Very welcoming hosts Comfortable accommodation Clean and tidy Close to city centre
Great location near facilities. Basic clean , comfortable room. Staff very accommodating of my leaving luggage early.
My room was very hot and airless. Window didn’t open much. Had a welcome fan but difficult to sleep in heat.
Very helpful with directions, friendly and provided milk and water in the room

Superb for the price, its not the ritz. But is a good guest house with everything you need for a great price.
Rooms are basic and small, but for the price its still good
A great location- a short walk to city wall, river and main city
All good
Great location just on the edge of the city centre, right near the river, restaurants and cafes. Handy for a pub. But quiet, no external noise. For the money we paid it was really good value. Reception staff were friendly. Check in was easy and quick.. There were enough sockets to charge our phones. Bed was comfortable. The room was warm. Nice shower.. As a place to crash while visiting Chester, it's a good choice.
The duvet was small with two of us in the bed
The staff was very quick to respond to my inquiries through Booking.com. The location is quite close to most everything I wanted to do, downtown, walking the wall, the river, Roman ruins, and the horse track. A grocery store is close to the hotel and also a few pubs. It’s about 12-15 minutes walk from the rail station.
I was in the first room, a smaller room. This room has a small shower, difficult to turn around in. I also couldn’t find the thermostat and was cold for most of the stay, especially in the evenings.
Charming house and welcome

La situación.
Extremadamente pequeña la habitación, aunque disponía de lo mínimo imprescindible.
Calm et clean guest house, great location, friendly staff or owner. Milk in the fridge.
Great location, central, and close to St Mary's (handy for a gig). Lovely room, ground floor (room 6) but I didn't mind. It was Thursday, so fairly quiet. Really comfortable bed, plenty of space, a little fridge with bottled water and milk. Bathroom is small, but nice. Towels were actually big enough, which is a bonus! (Also pretty rare!)
The shower cubicle is very small, but the shower itself is lovely, so I couldn't really complain.

The best accommodation i had since long time ago
Superb location, nice staff, easy parking. Just perfect!
Great location. Easy access to city centre. Basic but everything you need.
Great location, lovely welcome & all perfectly appointed in cosy room. Highly recommended
Great location and easy access to parking. The proprieters were very helpful. The room was clean. Good value.
The room was a little small and the bed on one side is against the wall (I like to have somewhere to put my phone/book etc at night).
I needed a simple pied a terre while working in Chester and this is perfect.
Perfect location lovely top floor room lovely and clean and great communication from the owners

Location, price.
The 2nd morning wish someone was about to get more coffee and milk.
Good location. My room had everything I needed for the night. Kind host.

I liked everything about this guest house, stayed twice now and will definitely book again. Perfect location, good sized room, double aspect which is great, kettle and a fridge, parking nearby

Great value for money, room and location were very quiet (although it was midweek, so I can't say what it would be like at the weekend). Room was clean and comfortable, the blinds on the window were reasonable. The kettle plus tea & coffee were a nice touch.
A bit more storage would be good (especially shelves in the bathroom)
I loved the location, the comfy bed and access to free parking
Lack of storage, hanging space and overall size of the room
The location is brilliant for Chester city centre, the room was lovely, nice and clean, fresh milk in the fridge was such a nice touch The staff were so helpful with our late check in, and helped with finding parking, so friendly! The room was just really nice to be in, nicely decorated, comfy bed, I'll absolutely be staying here again
Nothing really, we really enjoyed our stay!
It was very central to the old walled city. The room had coffee and tea making facilities.
The stairs were difficult to negotiate especially with luggage. The bathroom and shower were very small. The shower was difficult to work. The room was cold - the fixed heaters were not working and there was no other form of heating.
Ideally placed guest house, literally across the road from the city centre, a 2 minute walk from the castle and museums, 5 minute walk from the race course. Loads of fabulous pubs near by.
The location was really central and you were able to walk everywhere. The Staff was also really accommodating and happy to show you what you could do around Chester.
Nothing
Great location, great sized room and very comfortable.
The milk and coffee wasn't replenished on the second day. This may have been because I didn't put the make up my room sign out.
Staff and the added touches like little fridge with room for a snack and a bottle of fresh milk provided plus a surface to make a sandwich or open a take-away and plate it up, with napkins provided
Not their fault but Chester within the City walls has a rotten signal. No masts or paraphernalia on all those Grade II listed buildings.
Right in the centre so perfect location. Small but plenty big enough. Kettle, tea, coffee provided. Milk and water in the fridge. Comfortable bed. Nice shower with good hot water. Everything we needed.
Nothing
Very sattisfied everything was ok
Great location, ensuite, double glazing, good facilities
Knobbly pillows and hot room but fan was provided which was great.
The location was excellent and very convenient for exploring Chester. The room was clean, comfortable and the host had chat with me through email he was helpful .
Nothing major to complain about everything met my expectations for a short stay
Beautiful little property right in the heart of the city. Quaint room which although small had everything we needed for our stay.
Nothing.
Excellent location as I was running the Chester 10k , which started on the nearby racecourse. Fantastic, helpful hosts Clean room with en suite shower. Highly recommend
Nothing😀
Great location, the staff were very nice. Comfortable bed.
The shower was small and was a little bit broken.
