Top Chester Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Chester Grosvenor

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptionally enjoyable stay Although due to close for renovation in 2-3 weeks it retained its opulence and the bar and restaurant were superb The hotel is perfectly placed to explore Chester and access relatively inexpensive public transport to nearby places such as Port Sunlight and Liverpool which are short distances away Only down side was initial information about dress code in restaurant. It was way below what we were advised. We had no problem with that, but would have packed maybe 6-8 garments less between us Finally, and most important, given the up coming 2 year closure the staff there were absolutely magnificently helpful and friendly. Special mention to Jo (GI Jo), Kevin, Harriet and many others whose names I don’t have but definitely including the excellent sommelier"

The Mill Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Furniture need updating bathroom needed attention shower didn’t work properly breakfast wasn’t up to standard"

Moxy Chester

"Nice hotel next to canal and short walk to city centre. Good breakfast buffet, plenty of continental and English breakfast items. Pleasant staff. Small car park and not free. We managed to book a parking space nearby via JustPark, which was excellent and much cheaper. Would recommend the Moxy for short stays."

Crowne Plaza Chester by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was clean and comfortable and staff friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great and because I was veggie I was offered perfectly poached eggs and hot porridge. If I needed to stay in Chester again I would stay here again. Just sad I could t make use of the facilities"
