Top Chester Zoo Hotel Reviews

Brookside

8/10 Good

"We had a really nice 2 night stay, all of the staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was great and there were a few choices, we also ate there one evening and the food was delicious.The only downside was the bed was very low and not very comfortable for us but others might find it ok. There is also off road parking which is a bonus and it’s a 10/15 minute walk into Chester. Overall we were very happy with our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel."

Crabwall Manor Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful break for us. The hotel is relaxed and spacious, the spa facilities good. Very quiet and friendly. And excellent value for money."

Moxy Chester

8/10 Good

"The staff were excellent. The rooms were very well maintained and very clean. The breakfast range was very good and a filling start to the day. An enjoyable and relaxing experience"

The Queen at Chester Hotel - Handwritten Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Super comfortable bed! Quiet room with an opening window for fresh air. Some aspects were were showing their age due to the age of the structure (cracks in ceiling types of things) but updated and decor was beautiful. Great helpful staff. Close to the train station, reasonable walk to the old city center for an average fit person. Bar was beautiful but I didn't have time to stop due to sight seeing."

Brook Mollington Banastre Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Great location, bit basic but good for the price and facilities included etc. staff friendly and ideal for short uber ride into the city at a great price ! Recommended. Thanks"

Cosy 1 bed close to Chester, parking!

10/10 Excellent

"#24 is a fine fine place. It suited our purposes as a second home at a difficult time because of a loved ones poor health. This is a getaway at the edge of Chester where the rural countryside begins. It is very clearly what it says in the ad. Look at the photos, they tell you all you need to know, A lovely bottle if prosecco and a bag of snacks greeted us. Wonderful! A tip to any other visitor: local cab/taxi drivers and their dispatchers need help with the street address. One advised us: tell them you are at the Oak Grange Care Home across the small parking lot, and they know exactly where you are: "People who live call FROM the care home lobby (very friendly!)" Note for public transport user: there are buses to take you into Chester, check the online listings. Do we have some notes that would result in an even stronger endorsement? Yes. Here they are: 1) A one-page "house guide" about appliances and garbage practices would be useful. We did find manuals in a draw but a quick one-pager on the table next to the prosecco would have been useful.2) Only 2 of the very nice pans are "induction" proof. This needs attention.3) The outside light was burned out making it hard to use the key a night. Easy fix.4) Lovely broom, no dustpan. Easy fix,5) No non-slip mat in the VERY slippery shower. Easy fix. 6) Broken coffee-press device. We bought a new one and left it for the next guests.Would we stay here again? Definitely. k and b from Ottawa."

"Good location for exploring area in and around Chester. Parking no problems with shops and other facilities a short walk away. House was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for two reasonably fit adults. Narrow stairs could be a problem if any sort of disability but that is down to builder. All rooms pleasant and host provided not only all necessary information but added some personal recommendations for both shopping and eating out."
