We stayed at Oddfellows for 3 nights and had the most amazing time. The building itself is absolutely beautiful and full of character, and our bedroom was just stunning – especially the incredible 6ft round bed which made the stay feel so unique and memorable. What really made our visit stand out, though, was the team. The staff were simply the best – warm, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel like part of the family. A special shout out to Libby and Nancy on reception for their friendly and helpful service, and to Daniel and Joseph behind the bar and in the restaurant who really went the extra mile to make our stay so enjoyable. The whole team are a real credit to Doug, who is equally fabulous, and it’s clear how much pride they all take in making every guest feel special. Oddfellows is one of those rare places where you instantly feel at home but also thoroughly spoiled. We can’t wait to come back very soon, thank you for such a fantastic stay!

Nothing.. It was the perfect stay 😀

The quirkiness of the place , it was decorated fabulously !! Loved the outside garden space and all the different seating areas. Breakfast was lovely. The hotel was quiet (we stayed mid week) but that was nice , no noise to keep you awake !! Very central.

I always strip the bed on my last day (just to help the room staff out, one less thing for them to do) I noticed quite a few marks on the Pillows, and the quilt was covered in lots of brown marks (like fake tan, but am not sure) i know they are covered with the pillow slips and quilt cover .... but it didn't look very nice 😕 if they were in my home I would have to replace them. Why not use protectors to avoid this?

I originally booked two nights n an Attic Room via Booking.com but later decided to add a third night. I had to do this on Booking.com but there were no Attic Rooms left so I booked a more expensive room. When I asked if I could have the same room for all three nights, this was agreed, but as it was the Attic Room and I had paid a lot more for the more expensive room for the third night, I asked if I could perhaps have breakfast on the first two mornings, as well as the third, as I had not originally ordered this. I was told no, but when I explained that I was hoping to offset some of the additional cost of the more expensive room, they said that I could have the more expensive room for all three nights. Unfortunately, by the time I read this message, I had already checked in to the original Attic Room for all three, but this itself was a gorgeous large room with a great bathroom, plus I got the breakfast for all thee mornings (which was divine, a great choice of options and all delicious). The staff were all lovely, and a special shout out to Daniel, who looked after me for breakfast the first two mornings. What a beautiful human; nothing was too much trouble and he was just so lovely to me. It's in a great central location, too, and only cost about £5 in an Uber from and to he railways station.

If I'm being really picky, it was quite difficult to see the door lock (I was in Room 3) as it is quite dimly lit, but not a major issue. The ceiling in the toilet part of the bathroom is very sloped and might not be suitable for anyone over about 5 foot 5 (but fine if they always remember to bend down!) Breakfast service on the third morning (not Daniel) was dire. I sat down at a table and there were other people in, to whom the waiter was attending, and he clearly saw me but did not approach me. I had to end up going into the kitchen to ask for service. To get to the Attic Rooms there are quite a lot of steps, and no lift (their website does mention this) but this could be tricky for the less mobile.

The location and the room layout. Perfect for a weekend away. Very central and the staff were very helpful and advised us where to park.

The continental breakfast. We had to ask for more milk, bowls and orange juice it wasn't manned very well at all. Also the main menu wasn't as it stated on the website which was disappointing. There was also a sewage smell in the room late evening and early morning coming from the shower cubicle. The skylight that was advertised had shutters on them that couldn't be adjusted, but it had a electric blind too 🤔

Spaciousness of the apartment. Check-in was smooth. Provided parking was great, although a bit of a tight squeeze to get into it. Suggest you arrive with a small car! Location was also good - may not have been in the 'thick' of things, but was close enough to walk. We had the best pub meal while in the UK at the "Bear & billet" just down the road from the apartment - it was in Lower Bridge st and the apartment was near the top of Duke St.

The WiFi address we were provided with did not exist, so we could not access the internet. When using the phone in the room to contact the front desk nothing happened - seemed like the phone did not work either. Since we were only staying for one night I did not bother to walk back to the main hotel to get this resolved. When on holiday, the last thing you want to do is run around for things you expect to work

Everything was as expected, all staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was really nice and modern but the temperature was very warm, and air-conditioning wasn't really up to standard as we couldn't move the temperature gauge to low. I can't rate the food as we didn't eat at the hotel, but the location was perfect central to all bars and restaurants and only a 10 minute walk to race course if you intend to spend a day at the races. Although the room temperature was too warm for us this hasn't put us off and we would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to be in a central location. 😀

Room temperature was too warm and air-conditioning inadequate.

The hotel was incredibly well placed being within a very short walk of the city centre, river and walls but yet was very quiet (may be different in season as our room overlooked the garden). It was a bit of an initial shock that the loo could be seen from the bed but in fact don't worry, it is all part of a clever design where the ensuite shower door acts as the main door - as I said, very clever. Continental breakfast only but don't judge - the variety of cerials, nuts,, fruits, meats, cheeses, salmon, bread, pancakes and crumpets was astounding. Parking is just round the corner in an APCOA park but at a well reduced rate. All in all exceptional value for money.

Staff were a little sparce occasionally but we were well out of season so was happy to track them down and have to say they were very helpful, cheerful and with a good sense of humour. We had half board but the menu was a little limited, maybe do a couple of days alternating menu would be worthwhile but, although the choice was limited, the food was good.

We received such a warm welcome and it was fabulous to be able to check in when we arrived at midday. The apartment was very spacious and spotless. If I was going to be critical, I would say that some of the furniture in the lounge area looked a little tired. That said, it was perfect for our needs, so comfortable and I would definitely recommend. The breakfast that we prebooked was wonderful although I'm not sure if they were expecting us as there wasn't a table ready.

I think last call for breakfast at 9;45 on a Sunday is a little unusual but it was delicious !

Good location within a couple of minutes walk of the centre of Chester and near some very nice restaurants. The room was very nice , unusual round bed and there was a twin shower on a mezzanine level. I was a little concerned reading reviews about noise levels, especially as we were staying Friday night and our room was directly above the secret garden, however although we could hear the music late into Friday night it wasn't that intrusive, especially when. the wooden shutters on the window were closed.

Reception being behind the bar is a bit awkward depending when you check in or out. Lack of cooked breakfast bit dissapointing but not a big deal considering how many breakfast venues there are in Chester ( The moorings would be my recommendation, but worth reserving as is busy). Noise levels might be an issue for someone who want conplete peace and quiet at a weekend in summer, as highlighted by by some other reviewers but certainly didn't impact our stay. The main negative for me had been. highlighted by others and it's the glass toilet door and in the room we stayed the shower side. as with the shower being on the mezzanine level the fact the frosted glass doesn't go to the floor means from the bed looking up you get a clear view of whoever is showering.

Great looking place, definitely not your corporate "bed for the night" mundane affair. Our attic room was quirky and does the shabby chic very well and is a good size which is why I booked it, great double shower! The lower floors have an old charm, high ceilings, huge staircase and grandiose feeling that you just don't get in new buildings. Great bar. Location is perfect being as close to the centre as you could possibly need, racecourse is a short walk if you're going that way. Parking ,whilst not on site, is a third party multistory and very close, we had no problems. The parking spaces aren't the biggest, but mid-week, there were plenty of spaces on the upper floors. Cost was £10 for 24 hrs at the discount rate. Staff very friendly on check in near the bar.

Breakfast is continental only, so be aware if you're looking for a cooked brekky, you'll have to find a cafe nearby (there are plenty). Staff were distant at breakfast,not clearing tables quickly and restocking the food. This could be improved. On the whole it feels as if they're trying to run with the minimum of staff and it suffers for it,but the prices are good for chester considering the rest of the hotel. The attic room had a toilet separate to the rest of the bathroom and was tight on headroom - not ideal for taller people, especially if drunk (I was totally sober, honest!) At six foot, I managed ok though so don't let it put you off.
