Very convenient for walking around Chester town centre. Slept on the sofa bed which was not comfortable and needs a better mattress. Apart from that, we had a lovely stay here.

The hotel was situated so that we only had a short stroll before reaching the beautiful town centre. So for location it was excellent, however, for myself personally, the hotel was far too noisy. We had to ask to move rooms as our first room was located on the front, which was next to an extremely busy, noisy road. We were then moved to the back, which was slightly better but still was lots of noise, trains going by, workmen making loud noise, a dull humming noise. I didn’t really get much sleep over the 2 nights and for that reason I wouldn’t return to this hotel. I couldn’t fault anything else, staff etc were very good.

Good location for the town centre. We were allocated a disabled room, the bedroom was fine but the bathroom was very clinical, lots of bits of rust visible and could have been cleaner. Breakfast was satisfactory. Staff friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was good and the staff polite and helpful. The hotel is well located. The Holiday Inn room booking process is poor. A standard room means allocation of either twin or double on arrival, as I discovered on arrival to my room and with no option to change or cancel. Specifically requested a double but allocated a twin for three nights. Chester has many hotels and had I realised this was likely, I would have booked elsewhere. I stay in hotels 45 nights for year and have done for 35 years or so. This is the first time this has happened to me.
