Chester College teachers annual reunion.

In my opinion this was a low budget hotel which served the needs of my brother and myself adequately. We just needed somewhere to bed down for the night and the Dene Hotel was the ideal place due to it's location.

6/10 Good

Got what you pay for

Bathroom not very clean, drainage very poor, sink was backing up from other rooms?.
Dave, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly, welcoming, value for money

I stayed for 3 nights during February 2022. The staff were friendly and welcoming. My room was very spacious (the biggest one they have, I think). The shower was powerful and I had a comfortable night's sleep. I looked at the smaller doubles whilst I was there and would also book one of those. A very interesting building, spacious, airy and with lots of potential. Good value for money. Handy for the centre of Chester - either a 15 minute walk (average speed) or a few minutes in a taxi. The pub next door does excellent value for money food, so all in all a good location.

I am happy with the experience! Just that I heard snoring from next door. Maybe the walk is too thin or it was so loud???

6/10 Good

Needs a serious makeover.

The hotel itself is very run down. It has a low star rating anyway but you can pay half the price for more stars and it would be much nicer. This was convenient me for location but I could have paid less and been a little further out. Too expensive for what it was. Have no idea about facilities because I was not told of any. Rooms are still key style which is very dated and the room smelt. However staff were very friendly.

One night stay, staff were helpful and friendly. Easy to check in and out. On-site free parking. The room was tidy, comfortable stay overall. Would use again.

2/10 Poor

Absolutely shocking, people smoking drugs outside the front of the hotel. No light in my room. Says it has a restaurant and bar but nothing there only ore packed bags for some sort of council housing.

6/10 Good

Ok

Got there with my granddaughter. Sent to the annex, where it seemed to be workmen’s quarters. Bed a bit lumpy. The staff are very nice friendly and helpful. Overall somewhere to sleep.
Diane, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Very basic and dated

The free on-site parking was nice. Other than that, it was very disappointing. Couldn't use the wifi in the room, and they wouldn't let me sit in the lobby (even though some of their staff did). One tiny trash bin in the bathroom (and not room cleaning during Covid, so the trash did pile up). Window only opened a few inches, so the room was hot and stuffy. Hotel is old. It seemed that most of the rooms were being used to house at-risk or homeless people. Nothing wrong with that, but perhaps that could be made public.
Joseph, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice no thrills hotel. Ample parking. There is a hungry horse pub next door which was handy. £6.00-7.00 taxi into town and bus stop just outside.
Adam, 1-night trip

Excellent hotel

I don't understand why this has bad reviews. You get what you paid for a clean room with a bed and and a bathroom it's clean and the staff are dead friendly. I would definitely stay here again 10 out of 10
