“Small hotel with Grand Hotel feel”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

Fantastic quality, comfort and attention to detail. How pleasantly surprising it is to find a small quality hotel that is superbly situated in the centre of town that is clean with well decorated rooms with great staff who were friendly, happy and accommodating. Could not fault our 3 night stay. Attention to detail sets this hotel apart. Comfortable bed, plentiful... More

“Hidden gem”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

This is the perfect place to stay if you are going to Chester, hidden away in a side lane off one of the main shopping streets (Zara is metres away :) A great bar downstairs and well appointed rooms upstairs (with amazing showers - AND a bath, spoilt for choice). Unfortunately I was there because of work so too short... More

Thank you for taking time to write your review. I must agree, we do have a little hidden gem in the middle of the city in a perfect location for shops and restaurants. We have a lot of business guests throughout the week and as you mentioned it would be great to see you at the weekend for a pleasurable... More

Hi Carol. Thank you very much for taking the time to write your review. I see that you've already booked for next years May races which is great news and I've taken note on the gluten free bread! I look forward to seeing you both soon, hopefully before May. Kindest regards Rebecca More

Just come home from the commercial bar and hotel and what a great experience. We stayed in the Byron suit upstairs a very nice room, well furnished and with a beautiful bathroom. This is the place to go if you are a party goer at the weekends but I wouldn't recommend if your looking for peace and quite unless you... More

Thank you so much for a great review. I'm so glad to hear that you all enjoyed your stay and that you'll be coming back. As you rightly say we are a party place at weekends and welcome guests like yourselves to join in the fun, it helps when all you need to do is climb the stairs for bed... More

“Good size rooms, great service, but noisy”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

The room we stayed in was on the top floor but the staff were more than willing to help with bags etc.Checking in at the bar was a little strange but was absolutely fine. For the whole time we were there the staff just couldn't do enough. The room itself was excellent. A big separate sitting room, a stand alone... More

Thank you for your review. It's lovely to read that the service we provide is well received and also the points, sometimes beyond our control, that cause disturbance. We are in a great location for the city centre but along with that comes the noise aspect, especially at the weekend! We are very concious that weekend guests are informed of... More

I booked the Bryon Suite on the Monday before the bank holiday, I received a call the following day to let me know that the hotel would be having live bands on while we were staying and was that going to be ok? Most hotels would not have even bothered to ask! We did take our time to find the... More

Dear Charlie, thank you so much for writing such an in depth review. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and the entertainment was well received.

“A trip down memory lane!”

Reviewed 6 April 2013

We last stayed here in the early 1980's and were pleasantly surprised that, although very much refurbished, it retained many of the original features! Room was clean and spacious and even though we were warned in advance about the 3am disco we were not disturbed on the top floor! Right in the heart of the city.

Dear reviewer, thank you for your comments. It was lovely for me to hear that your trip down memory lane was enjoyed. We have a fabulous building and didn't want too much of the history to change when we modernised some of the features. You are not the only couple to revisit The Commercial after many years, we had residents... More

From the moment we walked in, we knew that we weren't going to be disappointed... We were met with a very friendly welcome from James, who was very informative and helpful in advising us that if we wanted to eat out, we would probably need to make a reservation and he would do that for us if we wished... We... More

Wow James what a fabulous review thank you so much. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and that my Manager James was accommodating to your requirements.

“it always starts with just a quiet drink”

Reviewed 25 March 2013

what started as just a quick pint, quickly turned into all afternoon and all evening until closing time! the bar is relatively quiet during a Saturday afternoon, but once 8pm rolls around the bar is heaving with an excellent atmosphere. next time your passing, pop in for a pint of their japanese lager and see what happens!!

Dear Steve. Thank you for taking time to write a review on the bar. I must say you did very well to stay as long as you did if you were drinking the Kirin! We party every Friday and Saturday and look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes Rebecca More
