Decent clean room if a bit dated. Staff were polite but brisk. Breakfast was good but lacking variety. Basic fry up with bacon sausages eggs beans and hasbrowns. Greater fruit and healthy options would have been appreciated.

Good all round place to stay. Lots of space, etc but the pillows were not good... all were rather hard. Anyway, everything else like the pool and amenities somehow outweigh this so i will stay there again.

Fantastic stay
First time we have stayed at the hotel and it’s safe to say we were not disappointed. Staff are very friendly, helpful, and welcoming and the hotel’s facilities are excellent. The breakfast is really good and there is plenty to choose from, also the free secure parking is excellent and an added bonus. The restaurant is excellent and they have some great offers on for residents, the hotel offered a New Year’s Eve party special which was a 3 course meal with a glass of Prosecco and was very well priced. Chester city centre is a 5 minute walk which is ideal and if you walk along the canal path there’s a great pub 3 minutes away called the Harkers Arms. We enjoyed the hotel that much we have already booked for New Year’s Eve this year and we can recommend this hotel highly. Also our room was cleaned every day with the towels replaced every day, all together we had a fantastic 3 nights and the staff were first class.

New year and 60th birthday celebrations
We stayed for 4 nights over new year with friends and family as it was my husbands 60th birthday New Year’s Day we went to the New Year’s Eve gala and it was excellant the food was amazing as was the staff the only thing letting it down was the Disco very poor choice of music when he did get everyone dancing he would spoil it with a rubbish song and everyone would sit down a lot of other people we spoke to some who had been coming for years said the same even tho we kept making requests he didn’t play them otherwise a great evening

New year stay
The Hotel is a fabulous stay , staff work hard to make it an exceptional experience around the building it is clean modern and cosy....our room unfortunately was really dated and not great to stay in especially for 3 night's which let our experience down and it would be nice for a refurbishment to take place as some area's we're lovely and modern. With the Hotel busy for new year we didn't address this and the overall experience made up for it .

New Year at The Mill Chester
Stayed over the new year. As always the service we received was excellent. Had breakfast every morning and it was always hot and we were served with a smile. The party night for New Year’s Eve was amazing, along with the food and the service from all of the staff. Thank you all so much.
