Acceptable stay in Chester

This was a perfectly fine hotel. Had a room that was outside access down the side road. Lots of road noise from bin men starting around 3 am, and drunks prior to that. All survivable and in the city. The room was fine - a bit worn, and the bed was a bit old feeling, but fine. Restaurant was good - I didn’t eat - but I had a drink and it was nice.

Great food at restaurant. Lounge area /pub comfortable to relax at anytime of day. Loved the Beer Garden. Very friendly staff , very relaxed vibe. You can feel the history throughout the building. Stairs are old so not great for anyone too young or too old. Not sure if there was air conditioning but we didn’t need it in September. Thanks for a great stay.

Enjoyable stay

Excellent check in & nice clean room but beware of the low beams with it being a very old building. Overall a good experience at the Pied Bull.
