The staff at this hotel is the best I have ever experienced in any hotel in the world. They were all so kind and helpful!

Cynthia, United States of America

I liked that they helped us book local transport. Also liked having tea and coffee in the room as well as cookies! Thank you

Joyce, United States of America

The atmosphere is mellow and easygoing, yet comfortable and clean. A good blend of old and contemporary. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly.

Valerie, United States of America

The staff was wonderful in every way, the food very good and the location great. The dining room had been recently renovated and was lovely. The staff was even willing to do a small load of laundry for us since the hotel was not very busy and the nearest laundry facility was a few miles away.

Diane, United States of America

We like the location very much. There was a great butcher just down the street, as well as a grocery store. We love the pub that was in the hotel. They were very helpful for getting us a cab to get to our narrow boat that we were renting for a week.

Jim, Canada

We were going canal boating with Black Prince. This was a 1/4 mile walk from the train station. The hotel paid for the cab to the marina. Great food within the hotel and at the Bistro next door. Very friendly staff.

Arnold, United States of America

Pleasant and helpful staff. Food excellent and value for money, both evening meal and breakfast. Room clean and comfortable. Would stay again and recommend to others.

Marilyn, United Kingdom

Friendly reception and good food, rooms are large and the location is good

David, United Kingdom

The hotel looked beautiful inside and all the staff were the nicest I've ever met in any hotel or holiday place. They were helpful, happy and polite. I give the staff and the look of the inside of the hotel 10/10 . Not including the bedroom!

Wendy, United Kingdom

The location with a bus stop almost directly outside and the station a few minutes walk away. The ground level of the hotel was vastly improved upon when we visited several years previously with a comfortable bar area/lounge. The food in the restaurant was very good and good value.

One of the oldest hotels in Wales, The Hand in Chirk was built in 1610, and offers traditional charm and period features. There is a restaurant, bar, free Wi-Fi and free parking.

All the bedrooms at The Hand Hotel have been thoughtfully decorated and have private bathrooms with a hairdryer. Guests can also benefit from tea/coffee and ironing facilities in each room.

The hotel bar and coffee lounge serves light lunches, snacks and beverages all day. The regency style, Coachhouse Restaurant & Grill, offers a dining experience with a more extensive menu using local produce and overlooks the pretty gardens.

Located in North Wales's picturesque Ceiriog Valley, the hotel is only a 2-minute walk from Chirk Train Station. The historic Chirk Castle, with its beautiful gardens and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, is 5 minutes’ drive away.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.7 for a two-person trip.

When we arrived the room very hot heating on when I reported it to management did say they had just noticed it and turned the heating off .There was no fan in room and the one that I was given not much good,very hot in the room. Breakfast was ok for me and my husband but my friends waited 30 minutes for theirs by the time it came out it was cold, there was only one member of staff to serve tables , needs more staff at breakfast .We think their breakfasts had been dished up and left because the scrambled egg were solid
Room clean, bathroom clean and bed very comfortable

It is a pub, so there will be times when it is a bit noisy. The room decor could probably do with a bit of a touch up, other than that a thouroughly enjoyable stay.
The room was clean and comfortable with all you needed for a weekend. The staff were excellent, friendly and good at what they do. The pub provided excellent food choices, the food we had was very good.

It was unusually hot and the desk top fan was too small and ineffective, but the heat is very uncommon for this area.
Location and evening meal in the restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pretty small but nicely updated room.

“Relaxing stay.”

The window in the room and bathroom were unable to be opened. A bigger tv in the room would be useful, but the one that is there works well.
Returned for a second stay, so think that speaks for itself. The Hand Hotel is a charismatic place to stay. Had a lovely rib eye steak in the restaurant. Staff were excellent as in previous stay. On this occasion since I travelled alone I required help to get my luggage up to the room. This did not pose any problem to Joe who was manning reception and I was not made to feel a nuisance as you can find in some establishments. The Tiger gin in the bar I would highly recommend! Thank you hand hotel I look forward to being able to return soon. 💜🥂
