to get started.

Location was good for river walk and city centre. Room was bright and nicely decorated. Restaurant and bar was right by river and was great to watch activity on river as we ate our meal. Food good pub grub.

The Boathouse is beautifully located on the river adjacent to a footpath along the city's ancient wall. We enjoyed siting in the hotel's pub to watch the boats pass by. It was so close to the city that we were able to walk to all of the city's sights and into town later in the evening for dinner. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and the staff were extremely friendly.

Lovely room in building adjacent to the pub. Good facilities, found the kettle in the cupboard :) Great location as next to river but only 10 minute walk into town, we only stayed one night as little escape. Breakfast served at the pub, lovely view of river. Helpful, friendly staff who looked after us well.

Charlotte

Great location on the river and quiet. I'm sure some of the hotels in the centre of Chester may be a bit noisy. Room was great, staff were great and the food was excellent. We come to Chester regularly as we live in Liverpool. If you're thinking of coming to Chester for the first time then don't leave it too late.

Large airy modern room with lovely ensuit. Everything you needed was in the room. I made a comment on the WiFi signing site that the TV was only showing 2 channels and a helpful young lady came across to rectify it. Breakfast was overlooking the river and the staff could not help enough. When we booked out the staff stored our motorbike clothes for us to wander around the city. Can't wait to return.

“Fantastic break in a beautiful location.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Location of my room within the hotel courtyard and the fact that all electrical sockets were situated at one end of the room so to have the fan on which they provided meant I had to wedge it in between the bed and the wall right up at pillow level, making it impossible to sleep. Ended up opening a small window which meant when deliveries to the kitchen were made early morning it got a bit noisy. That said I’m an early riser but it could be an issue, if you wanted a lie in. Also felt they could offer a two tier price for breakfast as I only ever have continental but paid for a full breakfast.
I loved the location right on the riverside with a lovely walk along next to the water right outside. The staff were very friendly. The room was lovely, clean and spacious. Only draw back was my room was right on a public car park at the entrance to the hotel opposite the kitchen doors and could get a bit noisy.

Me and my partner visited from Essex and were unsure of what to expect. On arrival we were surprised at what a lovely little hotel this is. We had lovely rooms and overall property is beautiful - the restaurant food was also wonderful and exeeded my expectations. I came to Chester for some work training having never been before but the hotel is in perfect central location and staff as well as locals were lovely and moe than happy to help. We will definitely be back again in the summer :)

Drinks are a little pricey but I suppose that's what you get for having the location.
Almost don't want to write this because more people will go and I wanna go back.. What a place, on the river with fantastic bar, serving excellent food. This place caters for all, for all weather conditions, from quaint little beach shacks with heating, to a floating seating deck. Breakfast was a amazing and hats off to the cooks and staff. The room was spacious,modern with a nautical theme and very clean and comfortable and quiet. 10/10 20 mins walk and you are in the centre of Chester so location is spot on. I don't think anyone would find a fault with this place.

“Nice Hotel but very warm”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The problem was the temperature of the room. We were in 16 on the upper floor. It was too hot to be comfortable sleeping. Opening windows did not seem to help. The fan supplied was large and noisy. Probably a great place to visit outside of the summer months. May be too expensive to add but air con might be a better solution.
Great location by the river close to town. Free parking is a bonus for Chester city centre. The boathouse shaped rooms were very stylish. Pub was nice. Breakfast was very good.

Room was not looking over the river. It was looking over a car park, with a small glimpse of the river. Advertising misleading. Room was unbearably hot. Air con is desperately needed. Noisy fan supplied. Very noisy in the mornings, either with workmen or noisy people in the carpark.
Nice location. Friendly staff. Floating beer garden lovely to sit on and watch the river go by. Free parking but a very tight, busy carpark.
