Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Queen at Chester Hotel enjoys a convenient location right across from the train station, making it ideal for travelers arriving by rail. Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms, sometimes mentioning the comfortable king beds and updated bathrooms. The buffet breakfast is usually considered excellent, with a good selection of breads, pastries, fruit, and hot drinks, and some guests have found the bar and lounge to be soulless. Plus, the city center is within a short walk.

cherished moments at the hotel

convenient locationnice decorationcomfortable roomcomplimentary snack
the location is convenient as it is near the train station. the nineteenth-century building has a very nice decoration i did admire. the room was comfortable, and i found a fridge and a coffee machine inside. i also appreciated the complimentary mars bar that was available.
the check-in time at 4pm felt a bit late since other hotels often offer it at 3pm. the queue outside was long upon my return at 4pm, and it took a while. i would have liked still water offered alongside sparkling.
