The lodging has an intriguing historical character that matches the city of Chester. This alone is worth staying here. Rooms are what you need; clean, convienant, and within the city walls. Staff are great. The pub can be noisy downstairs, but it was not as bad as I expected. Trivia night on Thursday is a fantastic way to meet locals... More

stayed here for my birthday last month. stayed in the four poster room which was lovely, but didnt sleep cos the bed was hard, and the bathroom was very tiny. at my birthday dinner, we had finished our main course and wanted to order dessert only to be told that the chef had gone! luckily we had my birthday cake!...

Has a great location, good breakfast, interesting building, old fashioned rooms (a little bit outdated). Smallest television I have ever seen, didn't know you could get them that small. Overall good value and would stay there again, you can't beat the central location.

Had read others reviews, guess if you want corporate try one of the corporate brands several close to Chester. We wanted something less standard.

This is what a pub should be. The beer was FANTASTC! The staff were probably the most welcoming I have come across in a very long whils. Food was fine and the all round time spent there was absolutely spot on!

One meal burnt, hidden with burnt side down, two very tough, dry, overdone burgers! Received one complimentary meal, we're new Chester residents & won't be... More

Welcomed by Dave on our arrival, we were shown to our four poster room which was quiet and comfortable, everywhere was spotless and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had one of the home brewed ales {matador} which was which was worth a try. A traditional place to stay if you want an old piece of England full... More

2 couples stayed, we all felt the staff were friendly and the pub itself had a nice atmosphere, nice and oldy worldly. A good location for the centre of Chester. The breakfast was really good too but the rooms are poor value, very basic and dated. It would not take much to improve them greatly, better decoration, nicer furnishings, duvet... More
