Chester Hotel

The booking states 2pm as check-in time and I planned my journey with that on arrival at past 2pm, the receptionist says checking is 3 pm and the room is yet to be clean. The room has a very small space.

Initially, I was a little skeptical of this hotel after reading the reviews. However, after coming and seeing it for myself, it wasn't as bad as I thought. It is in the best location for tourists. The main places for sightseeing are very close therefore easily accessible. There's an underground and coach station nearby, quite a few eateries too and some shops. Location: 10/10. The hotel itself. They provided shower gels and towels but some of the towels were stained. The shower door didn't close as it wouldn't move. It is also very squished. Not the biggest issue but the bed did not get made after I had spent the night. Also, there was quite a pungent, musty smell in the room. The fridge wasn't stocked up which was good for us as we bought a few sandwiches and drinks. Hotel: 1/10. Also, there is no free parking and you can't park outside unless you have a permit. I think it is free parking after 6pm but you would have to move your car by a certain time. 0/10 In conclusion, it is the best location if you're only stopping for a few nights. I enjoyed it as I wasn't in the hotel for long, just for getting ready and sleeping. Because I was out for most of the day, it didn't really affect me. If I were to come back to London, I would book this hotel again for the location.

The location was perfect but the room had a terrible smell

The hotel is located in a good area near shopping and restaurants. The hotel looks lovely from the outside and inside it's very cozy. The service is great just don't forget to bring your own amenities. In the shared bathroom you do not get anything so be aware. If you get the most cost effective room, there's no windows and the bathroom will be far, downstairs so possibly not friendly for the disabled. Walking distance from metro and the Victoria Station.

I enjoyed my stay at Chester would definitely lodge anytime am in London good amenities neatness and good service

Lovely quaint hotel,rooms were cosy beds were comfy and there was a fridge and fan in the room. Couldn’t ask for mor other than my booking said check in at 2 but when we got there the receptionist said 3 so had to wait around a bit.
