Old building, very creaky floors. Room was spacious and clean. Facilities weren’t great. Sauna and steam room looked like they’d not worked for years. The pool was ok but the pool and gym building has seen better days and the corridor to them was full of water leaks and smelled foisty. Restaurant and bar area excellent. Great food. Location beautiful on the river. In walking distance to Chester fort. Doubt we would return.
No remote in my room, no towels in my travel companions room, rooms we not made up daily, which I’ve never experienced before, and no telephone in rooms made getting assistance a pain. The hotel was in general nice, bar and restaurant were good, staff were good and the location is lovely. But the poor housekeeping spoilt the stay a little.
Not able to use the restaurant for an evening meal on the 2nd night was a bit disappointing as they said they was a little too busy. As a hotel guest, and as it is no where near any pther amenities, i would expect a meal.
Enviable views, location and building. Great for a pint beside the North Tyne.
Service however was generally lacking. Dinner menu didn't match what was shown on the website. Booked a double room but only had tea and coffee for one and no toiletries. Toilet facilities and leisure facilities also in need of an upgrade. Unfortunate for a hotel in a plum location.
Lovely 3 night stay. My only issue was that the rooms are not serviced each day, supposedly you can request this by putting the sign on the door. I did this but it still didn’t get done. This means the milk, tea and coffee are not refreshed Every day I had to ask at reception for more and as there are no phones in the rooms this is a real pain if you forget. Part of the hotel experience is to have your room done each day. Apart from that a lovely hotel gorgeous view of the garden and river from our room and really nice to sit out in the garden if the weathers good enough

Lovely hotel, excellent staff. Slippery shower was a worry
Hotel has a lovely position next to the river. The receptionist was welcoming, friendly and efficient so a great start. The room was dark because of a tree in full leaf immediately outside the window. At a different time of year this wouldn't be an issue and you'd probably see the river. There was also a large number of gnats in the room probably because of the proximity to the river. Breakfast was disappointing - dried up fried eggs and tomatoes despite going in just after 7.30 when it opens. For just under £150 for one night I was disappointed although nothing was really bad, nothing was special other than the friendliness of those staff that I spoke to.
