Quite disappointed with our stay. The room was really dusty. The cold tap ran hot. There were two holders over the bath presumably for shower gel and shampoo, one was broken. The shampoo was attached to the hand basin and you couldn't reach it from the shower. We had to ask for tea/coffee on 2 occasions. The corridor wasn't hoovered during our stay. We were room only so cannot comment on the food. The beds were really comfortable.

The hotel is advertised as a 4 Star Luxury Hotel, at the moment it is actually a poor budget Hotel. Positives; Location & Parking Nearby. Negatives; Paid extra for Deluxe room. Badly stained carpets and bed. Dirty room. No toiletries left in bathroom. The bed looked as if someone had already slept in it. Lots of mould on the windows. Dirty sink. No heating in hotel room. Grubby exterior. Grubby Hotel Bar. Reception cover hit or miss. Reception staff need to be more professional and friendly. Hotel needs to close for deep clean and refurbishment. Worst Hotel stay in very long time and no excuse for lack of hygiene.

Enjoyable stay.

Suite was good size, but was very warm despite having windows being open (-3 outside) radiators weren’t on so just the general temperature of the room. Bed sank into the middle but was comfortable on the whole. Room decor was fine, if not a little tired could probably do with modernising. Minor blemishes around the room were noticeable, caps on taps missing, cracked plug sockets etc. On the whole good value, but certainly not pristine. Would stay again, but unlikely to pay more.

Xmas Break with Partner..Ok..ish

Stayed with my other half for a 2 night Xmas break, positives was location to the city centre, good sized room, efficient check-in process and breakfast (£12 each), good shower, iron and ironing board, negatives..bar only open on the Saturday night, room needs some tlc (209), towel rail didn’t work, dust in many areas of the room, would be a 2nd choice if other hotels we stay at are fully booked (Abode, Crowne Plaza).

Pleasent hotel

Lovely old hotel in fantadtic location. Romm was clean and comfortable, huge bed, with good facilities. Unfortunately the shower was only producing look warm water at maximum temperature. Breakfast was nice but service was poor due to low staff, just two young waitresses, who did their best but wereclearly struggling.

Avoid. Plenty of decent places in Chester.

Terrible experience. Had to keep asking reception for bar service. The room was tired and the bathroom was mouldy. Breakfast was appalling, cold plates, cold food, just horrible. Fruit choice was an apple. Waited 10 mins to check out like others. Was told then by restaurant staff to leave card on the counter. Stayed in many hotels this past year with work and travel and I can safely say this place doesn’t deserve anybody’s business.

Could be so much better

We reported the sink plug stuck. We were asked if we wanted it reporting to maintenance, obviously yes! It wasnt fixed. We noticed a lot of cobwebs on the stairs walls skirting boards dusty etc. The bathroom had mold around bath, mirror & the soap holder werent clean. Tissue and both washes (sink & shower) were empty. Staff on reception could do with being abit more friendly. Small changes could make this hotel a 5* also the bed was 2 singles pushed together 😫

We have stayed at this hotel many tumes over the past years however i feel this now needs updating. It was not a very nice stay this time as the pillows where flat ,no extra in room or blanket,no water in the room and water machines in the hall not working. No phone to call reception. Hairdryer not working although receptionist told me that i needed to keep my finger on the button. There was no written information at all in the room either or contact number for reception ( i did find this when leaving the room in very small print on the back of the door .Shower gel getting a bit molded . Breakfast used to be served but now self service and cold. Very limited with low fat options

Has gone done so quickly under the new management

Booked a double room and was allocated to a single room the size of a cupboard, mearly 9sqm... no customer service and no interest shown in resolving the problem. Management not showing up and didn't care. Breakfast buffet was so poor that past 9.15 on a sunday moring there was nothing left on hot food.

The positives & negatives of McDonald Hotel - Ches

The bed was extremely comfortable and the night shift staff were attentive and they provided great service. The room was slighly cold. Shower water was honestly freezing. The sink was totally blocked. The side of the bath was broken & sharp and caused me hurting my leg. Breakfast was booked for a certain slot yet there was only 3 vegetarian cooked items left! I actually paid for 2 breakfasts when I booked, but there were not enough for one.. NO-ONE were cleaning as other guests have left. A rag & antibacterial was left on a table for the duration of my breakfast and my salt shaker was terribly dirty with old sauce on it. It was very poor.

Past your best McDonald Blossom.

Oh dear McDonalds Blossom Hotels. It feels like you are about to shut down what a disappointing weekend break we had with you. During our stay I was invited to book in to the restaurant, when we asked about it we were told it’s been closed since 2019. We paid hard earn money for a poor experience. Where to start The hotel reception area smells of drains and is very unpleasant. The staff tried to be attentive. Our room 109 was a good size with a comfy bed. The bathroom however had lots of black mould on the tile grout the shower fitting is just hanging on the wall by its pipes the bath plug take an age to drain away, the shower door is ineffective and let water seep all over the floor, the extract fan don’t work. We did not get our room serviced even when we left the door sign on asking for service. Weekend breakfast is not worth your money. The food was not ready when guests arrived and after 25 minutes some left only having a bit of toast. It was really bad cheap sweet bread, mediocre coffee in a flask the condiments when available were in bowls that looked like they hadn’t been washed for days just refilled on top. Not appealing at all. The serving plates had seen better days. And not a single pasty available on Sunday morning. Other guest were seen shaking theirs heads in disappointment. Guest having to ask for food items to be refilled. It is fair to say we will not be staying again. Great location though.

Central location

Old building in need of refurb/TLC. Great location for city centre and Christmas markets, but also close to a few clubs so was a bit noisy at night (though we had a room closer to the clubs, might not be a problem in other rooms) Buffet breakfast at the weekends when busy, breakfast cooked to order on Monday morning. Good selection of food, though items were running out when busy, and coffee was weak for my taste Bedroom was clean enough, but public areas were hut an miss Overall we would return to Chester, but might choose a different hotel next time

Shower was lukewarm and radiator heating could not be turned down. I slept with the window open to cool the room and had a cold shower the first morning. I informed the front desk who later informed me the faults had been fixed. A second night and morning showed that the faults were unchanged.

Very disappointed with the hotel. We paid £200 for a room which would of been a better standard in a Hostel! Dirty carpets, dirty bathroom, some sort of gravy stains over the switches. I took pictures to show but wont let me attach on here. I paid for two rooms at £200 each - DISSAPOINTED I wouldnt recommend unless you were paying £50-70 a night because that is the standard of this hotel
