The only positive comment i can say about the property is that it is in the centre of chester and well placed for shopping, restaurants,bars and sight seeing. As for the property itself is very run down, in need of a full refurb - I stayed in room 121 the bathroom needs updating the blind on the window apart from having no pullcord - the blind is rancid the extractor fan in bathroom not working - the carpet in the bedroom is very worn - threadbare in places, full of marks and very dirty. The voile on the window in the bedroom is filthy and has disgusting marks what can only be discribed as some kind of fluid. Broken furniture and obviously has not been dusted for a very long time. Corridors also in need of attention - clearly havent been hoovered for quite sometime. Had to ask reception for service in the bar - no one serving - limited choice of wine - one white and one red !!!! Not exactly well stocked as stated on info. After an enjoyable meal in a local restaurant returned to the hotel around 8:30pm hoping to have a night cap only to find the bar in darkness - when i asked reception if it would be possible to have a drink i was told the bar is closed - really at 8:30 pm !!! Hotel over priced needs full refurb and should cater for residents not staff Obviously will not be staying there again

The hotel is very central great for shopping, eating and transport. Staff friendly and helpful. However bed was comfortable and clean, furniture in the room very dated, not as clean as it could have been, television not working properly, lamp broken. A little attention to detail and cleanliness would have made for a better stay.

Decent hotel in brilliant location. Bedroom very comfortable but bathroom perhaps in need of attention particularly shower door which leaked quite heavily onto bathroom floor and shower attachments which were coming off the wall!

Friendly staff throughout the time of our stay. Rooms and public areas clean. Ideal location for exploring the city centre from the bus or train station. Shopping, eating and drinking around the locality provided lots of choices within a few minutes walk. A comfortable room, a little tired and worn around the edges but, it's an original period building which adds to the character and the Standard King Room was a great size plus the addition of a drinking water fountain in the corridor was an unexpected bonus for me. Only 2 drawbacks: the bath isn't easy to step out of due to not having a handrail on the short end of the wall at the opposite end to the shower head. The fixed shower screen rendered the grab rail on the outer side of the bath useless. I have back and cervical spine issues which means I have a weakness to the left side of my body, unable to balance well and being able to grip with my left hand. Not being able to get fresh air into the room overnight as not even the smallest window could be open just an inch or two. I have fresh air in my bedroom spring, summer and winter as a too dry atmosphere impacts sinus problems and my asthma. Not major issues for most people, but it meant I awoke several times during the night. Lighting positioning in the bathroom and bedroom for applying makeup could be improved above the mirrors. Comfortable beds and pillows plus a nice weighty duvet set - perfect 👌

Hotel is in a great location, very central and the staff were helpful and friendly. The room was clean, we booked king size and the bed was very comfortable. Air conditioning unit not very powerful although a desk top fan was provided which we needed as the windows are sealed shut and it was warm weather. The bathroom is in desperate need of maintenance . Shower fitting is hanging from the wall, extractor fan not working, shower water not draining away - drain is obviously blocked. Breakfast sadly mediocre, no seasonal fruit or yogurt provided (despite being on the menu). So I asked for some and the waitress went to see if they had any - just a watermelon was sliced up and served. Coffee was not nice, it was weak and tasted like cheap instant stuff. The cooked breakfast was nice but no black pudding available despite being listed on the menu.

Ideally situated in middle of Chester

This was my latest stay in what has been a number of stopovers in the MacDonald New Blossoms Hotel. It is ideally situated right in the middle of Chester. The staff are always so pleasant. I hope to stay there yet again on my next trip to England’s most underrated city.

The room was comfortable and clean. The staff was helpful and really friendly. Unfortunately, there’s a club next-door that pounds music into your room until the wee hours. If I come back to the area during the week, I would stay again, but not on the weekend.

Room was a decent size but in need of updating.toilet was very difficult to flush, it took alot of flushing to flush, we ended up using the toilet downstairs.Some Furniture was dusty..carpet needed a hoover..big gap on the bottom of door, could see the light from hallway..room smelt nice and was good having a little hallway to the toilet and wardrobe. Heard lots of complaints from other guests and the person on reception didn't really have many answers or help much. Shame as was location
