Macdonald New Blossoms Hotel  

Excellent city centre location right in the middle of the main shopping centre and close to a number of nice restaurants & pubs. River, park, Roman attractions and historic City Walls all within a 5 min walk. Secure public parking close by. Rooms are furnished well. Good value and an excellent choice if you want to enjoy time in the heart of this lovely city.

Minor points only - The lift is very small (maximum 3 people at a squeeze) and quite claustrophobic, but if you choose to take stairs instead the hotel will deliver luggage to room. Beds & pillows weren't that comfortable. Rooms at front overlooking main street are noisy at night.

I liked the cleanliness and size of the hotel room and the staff were excellent; friendly and helpful.

The only problem was the bedroom was too hot. We had the window open all night but we were still hot.

Breakfast was a delicate treat.

We had no idea about parking and that was a huge hassle when we arrived to even find the hotel through one way streets. When we were able to finally asked staff for help they were extremely helpful and the problem was solved quickly.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful with lots of choice.

The very lud music from the bar next door meant our double room was unusable and at 1.30am had to move rooms to a single room where it was quiet. The night receptionist was very helpful, moving furniture and finding a bed etc, however, this was very disruptive. The Guest Manager the next day explained it is a city centre hotel and noise is to be expected. We have stayed in many places throughout the world and this level of music in the room is not usual. We were not warned about this before we visited the hotel. I am writing this review so others can take this information into account before booking.

It was a lovely, sophisticated hotel in a very convenient central location. The standard of the decor and service were excellent. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

My only negative comment would be the lack of parking at the hotel. There are public car parks close by, which you need to budget for.

The staff and the service they gave. It's the first time in years that I have encountered the thoughtful, courteous and pleasant services of a whole group at a hotel. The reception, dining areas and housekeeping staff were attentive without being obsequious, they did things correctly and quickly, and no request seemed to bother them. It's an old hotel and our room was fairly small but properly furnished; I gathered this was true of all of them. If one seeks the old-fashioned grace and courtesy in an appealing setting, this is a wonderful hotel. I'd certainly return and absolutely recommend it.

We were surprised by the existence of a nightclub on the ground floor. Customers spilled out to the street in a loud party mood, right under our open window. However, it was our choice to keep the window open and the hotel had provided a fan in case one felt the air was stuffy but wanted to keep the window closed.

The location of the Hotel, right in th ecity central. The exellent breakfast and extreemly friendly staff

The price of the room for 1 night was a bit steep, we've had better last minute deals in Chester, No car park, a nightmare to travel through town to the entrance, then having a 15 min walk with luggage from the multystorey. The only other complain was that we mentioned was that the rooms were extreemly hot and we struggled to open the window as it was at high level.

Room size - perfect. Coffee/tea facilities in the room, ironing facilities, internet and general comfort made my stay very pleasant.

Parking is a nightmare.I was not prepared for this, and the Grosvenor car park is not that near. Poor preparation on my part. My tom tom could pick up St. John Street, but could not plan the route thus it was unhelpful. No idea why this was the case, and perhaps the hotel should check with satelite navigation data for the area.

Fantastic location for a visit to the city of Chester with reasonable prices for quality accommodation.

Lack of parking and extortionate charges for breakfast.

Stayed at this hotel last week with my daughter, aged 31. Great location in the middle of the city, great for shopping, went to Cheshire Oaks Outlet. Great for sightseeng, lovely city.
