We enjoyed our stay in this quirky hotel. Our room was on the top floor, via a set of very uneven stairs (it is very old). Our room was very hot as Chester was experiencing extremely warm weather. We loved the location of the hotel and the room was very clean.

As we arrived at check in to the Pied Bull the young lady who checked us in was looking through her computer she suddenly said im just looking at what rooms we have i notice you are on a walking stick and we have you on our second floor room but notice your stick our stairs are not so good they are very old and im looking to get you a lower room. This she did amazingly a room with just 2 steps up i didnt get her name but she was a excellent at her job and pied bull are lucky to have her.
Pied Bull is one of Chesters oldest buildings. Its staircase is large and creaky. The bar and restaurant are lovely. The rooms are clean and hotel.is well.looked after. There is a beer garden and the pub brews its own beers.
The hotel.is a short walk to numerous restaurants and a short walk to Chester Cathederal and its beautiful grounds. Lots of shopping can be found just a 10 minute stroll away.
There are beautiful Roman ruins around the city, the city walls wrap around city and you can walk around them. You can jump off and on a bus City if it is large tour buus shich tells you all dď

Room was clean, we where in room 17, the room could do with some sound proofing around the front door and secondary double glazing inside of the front window, very noisy late at night with music and people at the pub on next door. The breakfast was a little expensive at over £16 per person however the portions size was extremely generous for the money and for those that like thier real ales the pub has its own micro brewery on site. I would recommend this hotel.

The bed in the first room I was given had not been changed since the previous guest. I noticed the bed wasn’t in the usual crisp made condition you get in hotels, so pulled the covers back and there were hairs and crumbs in the bed.

Told receptionist, she double checked and gave me a different room. Then on the stay was fine. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment.

Great, characterful hotel/pub. Breakfasts were excellent and the staff were great. The room itself fine but in a slant. We had to sleep with our head the opposite end of the extremely creaky bed. The shower head was also very low. At 6’, I had to really duck under it. But part of the charm I guess, just could have done with a non creaky bed.

I have stayed at The Pied Bull twice in the last year when visiting from the US. I stayed in 2 different rooms, a twin and then a double, both in the main building. Both rooms were clean and comfortable. The pros are location, being convenient to everything that Chester has to offer including sightseeing, shops and places to eat. The price is also reasonable for being in the city center. The cons are no parking on site, although there are many options within a 10 minute walk from the property. The showers in both rooms were very slippery and not very good at containing water, the bathroom floors were always very wet after using the shower, despite a bath mat. As far as staff, shout out to Peter who is friendly, helpful and professional. What an asset to the property. I look forward to staying at The Pied Bull in the future.

We stayed here as we were going to a concert at the cathedral with my elderly parents and it is only max 5 minute walk, we arrived at around 10 past 3 to a very stern welcome. However we found our room and put our bags in and went back down to the bar to eat, first mistake! We had gammon which served with chips peas and mushrooms, it was horrible my partner nearly threw up, and I left mine, the gentle waiting on us was unfriendly and very abrupt so we didn't complain. When we returned to our room to quickly change my partner jumped into what looked like a lovely shower to find it was luke warm, no biggy I guess, so we changed and left for the concert. When we returned we had a couple of drinks in the bar with the same guy as before and was made to feel uncomfortable by his demeanour, so we went to bed, another quick Luke warm shower to climb into bed with dirty sheets, by this time it was midnight and we were tired so went with it. The following morning two very average full English cost us just short of £34 and a half hour wait with grumpy staff. Do not recommend and we won't be back.
