Chester Cathedral is about 1.3 km away, roughly 16 minutes on foot. Chester Castle is about 1.9 km, around 24 minutes. These are straight-line estimates and have not been verified, so real routes may take longer.

What guests say
The score is 8.9 out of 10 from 1,334 reviews, joint second of 9 eligible properties on score.
Breakfast earns the most praise. Guests describe it as freshly cooked to order, with a wide menu and high-quality ingredients. The listed styles are broad: Continental, Full English/Irish, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, buffet and breakfast to go.
Staff come next, described as friendly and attentive with a warm welcome. The weak point is parking: convenient, but tight and sometimes limited for larger vehicles.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price was €169.03 per night. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) for 2 adults in one room, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
The sample median was €117.74. Our Budget pick, Moxy Chester, scored 8.8 with 4 stars at €96.75 per night. Our Best Value pick, Hotel Indigo - Chester by IHG, scored 9.1 with 4 stars at €149.79 per night.
You pay about €19 a night more than the Best Value pick for the 5-star category and the breakfast, with a slightly lower score. Listed facilities include free Wi-Fi, a terrace and a 24-hour front desk. Free parking is a real saving if you would otherwise pay for a car park in town.
