Chester City Visit

This is a historic hotel inside the city walls in Chester. It was built in 1535. The lobby pub and restaurant were unique with great atmosphere. Elderly people will have great difficulty using the steep stairs to the 3rd level rooms, but we enjoyed this hotel greatly!!

4/10 Fair

Food and drinks ridiculously over priced. Was advised a local park at £8.80 overnight. Actually was £16.50 overnight parking. It’s an old building and the section we stayed in had sloping floors. Great central location for other bars and restaurants though.
Darren, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We only stayed for 1 night as we were attending a function in Chester. Did not spend much time in the pied bull. The room and service was exactly what we needed for our trip.

Lovely hotel with lots of character

Stayed at The Pied Bull for 2 nights March 2025 & have stayed there a few years ago. Lovely hotel /pub with a warm comfortable atmosphere about it. Comfy bed, spotlessly clean, good facilitates. Good hearty full English breakfast. The staff are great & very welcoming. Enjoyed their thursday night quiz too. Location is perfect as right in the heart of historic Chester. Its near lots of shops, bars, restaurants. Easy access to the walls around Chester too. I would highly recommend staying there.

We very much enjoyed our stay in such an amazing old building full of character. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our rooms though a little on the small side were comfortable and well presented.

Will stay again 👍

Perfect central location, friendly staff, comfortable room, clean and today. No heating but oil lamps radiator in the room. This wasn’t mentioned on booking in but no drama. Food excellent at dinner and breakfast. Price for breakfast a little high as limited options other than the cooked breakfast. However location and overall feel outweigh the minor personal issues. Will stay again 👍
