Really comfy bed so I had a lovely nights sleep. Interesting, quirky decor. Good wifi. And a decent power shower. Great continental breakfast - lots of fresh fruit and a warm croissant too. Claire was very friendly and made me feel very welcome. I will definitely stay again when next on business near Chester.

Terri

Everything for a single room. There was enough storage, hot water, good sized shower, comfortable bed, heating, tv, tea/coffee and very clean. Breakfasts were cooked to order although I only wanted cereal (good choices) and toast. Good selection of fruits, yoghurts etc. Great location- 4mins walk to bus station - and close to main shopping areas and places of interest e.g.Rows and Cathedral. The river Dee runs close by along side the ancient walls. There is a double locking system on the front door which means extra security. Nothing is too much trouble for Claire who owns the b&b. I have stayed there twice and hope to go again. I arrived as a stranger and left as a friend.

Mary

On arrival I was greeted by Clare, who could not have been more helpful. After settling in I took a walk into the town centre which is a 2 min walk. All amenities are very close by. Fantastic breakfast, I would highly recommend.

Carpeted - dust in room. I needed to use the heater cause the room was too cold. Door makes allot of noise and slams. You can hear the people above talk and walk around. Could be nice to have a foldable table and foldable chair available in the room so I can sit with my tablet and work. Hot water in shower wasn’t very warm at 23:00. Couldn’t find no-caffeine herbal tea in the box.
The overall detail in the design and the bathroom design. The fact that you can come in at anytime with a code.

“Chic Chester Stay”

The bathroom smelled a bit musty but was clean and pleasant in appearance. I would say the pillows were a little flat and uncomfortable in our room. But the other pleasant touches made up for these two jiggly things. Parking is an issue but it always would be in such a prime city location. If you caught the train, it would be perfect!

It felt odd not seeing any member of staff at all (you just telephone the owner when you get there). Also, on Booking.com it says breakfast is included but this is not true - you can order breakfast but it costs extra.
The location is great, across the road from a car park which was reasonably priced and secure. We loved the decor it was so quirky.

My mattress was really uncomfortable and needs to be replaced, same with the duvet which was lumpy. Also I booked a B&B to find out that a cooked breakfast is £5 more and has to be ordered the evening before. I stay away frequently and in my opinion I don't think Maison Claire is worth £85 a night, and for that price should include more than cereal and toast!
Maison Claire is located very close to the centre of Chester and Claire is a friendly host.
