A bit disappointed
The hotel had a lovely Christmas tree and we were greeted by a friendly receptionist. Our room was a nice shape and cosy, as you'd expect for a standard room. It was a bit chilly and we struggled to get it warm. The towel rail in the bathroom did not work and the tea and coffee privided was a bit odd- 5 small milks and one small packet of biscuits between the two of us.Our room was serviced and the bed made, as expected. Used glasses were not removed or replaced and still no more biscuits. We just felt that there wasn't much care. We had an email to say we could use the leisure facilities only to be told , by the barman, that 'we don't have any! People think theres a golf course and we don't even have a snooker table!' I feel this sums it up wuite well.

Disappointing - not like the description or the pi
Hotel looks nice from the outside and on the pictures, but the room I stayed in was in a very sorry state. I booked a deluxe room and when I got in, the shade on the bedside lamp was hanging at a funny angle so I straightened it and the whole thing fell off leaving exposed electrical connections. I fixed this one for them. The toilet seat was hanging on by only one fixing. Not great. The bath is under the window so the shower sprays the window sill which is consequently rotten and covered in mould. I felt like I would get more dirty just by getting in the shower! The room was very sparce and nothing like the lovely picture for a deluxe room. Dressing gowns were provided but they weren't hung up, they were just screwed up in a ball on one of the shelves in the wardrobe which made it look like they hadn't been changed from the last occupant. Reception staff were very polite and the breakfast was nice but the hotel is in need of some TLC I would say.

Absolutely lovely weekend stay in the Blossom hotel, amazing spacious family room with huge comfortable bed. Was very loud at night as the location is near bars/clubs but it’s not the hotels fault it’s just as it’s central location, would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

We had a room looking onto the main street which became very noisy at night. Saxophonist, drunken groups, street cleaners and a 2 am delivery with serval crates of product made for an awful sleep. Considering this was a family room I'm surprised they put kids there. The room itself was above Lush so if the window was left open your nose burnt from the smell of the shop. There were patches of mold on the ceiling in both the bedroom and the bathroom. The cleaners don't do an amazing job considering we were finding Primark clothing stickers on the floor and curtains from previous occupiers. The bed sheets do not cover the beds when made into a double as soon as you sit on it they move and may as well not be on the bed.

Location in central Chester is fabulous. If you like threadbare carpets, cold low pressure showers, intermittent air conditioning, TV with 3 channels that won't turn off and when you complain (very politely) you don't hear anything from the manager despite the promise of being contacted then this is the ideal place to stay. If you love dismal then you will be delighted with this hotel.

Good location, that’s about it!
I would say this isn’t really a hotel for families. More of a one night party hotel. The extra Z beds offered for the children were unsuitable, one had no springs down the side! When we let the hotel know they said thanks? Breakfast was average and took and eternity to arrive and the bar is only open on a Friday and Saturday. If you are couple looking for somewhere to stay in Chester for a night and not have to get a taxi it’ll do. Although the travel lodge is only another 100m down the road!

We stayed as part of a Hen party. Room was very dated, there was hair in the bath and on the bathroom floor. Stiflingly hot even with aircon on. Lots of noise from nearby venues. On the morning of Che k out we were in bed and someone let themselves in thinking the room was empty! Not acceptable
