Not good

Expedia may want to review the review of this property. It boasts a wonderful and 9.2 rating and the place is in serious disrepair. Dirty room, dirty, moldy bathroom and a TV remote caked with sticky dirt and grime. I think someone may be creating false reviews for this property.

Was in Chester for a stop over for the night. Although the pub was nice and food good. I thought the upper halls and room could have been a bit cleaner. Stair carpets cleaned and dust on the paintings cleaned. Mattress on the beds was one of the main things to let it down. Could do with changing. It was like sleeping on a pile of potatoes.

Lovely team running the hotel. Bar on ground floor is great. Hotel part is, however, tired and need of updating and a deep clean. Bed wasn’t good and needs replacing.

pleasant stay

Pleasant room in the centre of Chester. /it was a little noisy, but only what was to be expected on a Saturday night in a city centre! Bed was comfortable, and room was clean. There is only one minor concern: We were given one key, which opened the front door, the door to the room's entrance, and our room door. Does this mean others can also use their key to access other rooms? Not sure... There is a safe provided, so for this reason, I'd use it for any valuables left in the room!

I thought that The Coach House Inn is a wonderful place to stay. It is great value for money it’s perfectly located in the centre of Chester, all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms were very comfy and the food was wonderful. We stayed one night on Friday 2nd May to Saturday 3rd May and we will definitely be staying there again. I think we have found our ideal place to stay when we are visiting Chester. The food in the restaurant in the evening was beautiful and we also got a half price bottle of wine when we eat there which was a lovely bonus. In the morning we had a wonderful breakfast that kept me going for the day. We stayed as a couple and me and my wife would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Chester.

The worst room in the hotel!

The hotel was in a great spot, but our room was in poor condition for the standard of hotel. The carpet had iron burn marks on it and the bedding was stained. It appears that the room we stayed in (room 9) was the worst one in the hotel. We had a quick peek at other rooms which were open, being cleaned as we were leaving and they were of a much higher standard. The breakfast was fine though.

Great location

Good location for sightseeing. We arrived aprox12.30pm & were able to leave a bag with reception, the room was ready at 2pm in the meantime we ate Fish & Chips in the pub which was delicious & good value. The bedroom (No. 1) was spacious however the king size bed was infact 2 singles pushed together with an uncomfortable ridge in between them both, the mattresses were very soft & at every turn the springs would make a loud noise during the night. I mentioned this in the morning prior to checking out & they confirmed the bed was soft. I suggest they change the Ironing board as the cover was torn & the Iron had a large brown stain on the plate. Breakfast was good, the staff are friendly & helpful but the lack of comfort/sleep would prevent me from booking at this hotel in the future.
