Very good location, A lovely warm welcome and cosy, clean room. The breakfast buffet was really tasty and good choice with a lovely view of the canal and staff again being welcoming. The pool, jacuzzi and sauna were the perfect way to round off the stay. Only small downside if had to name. The WiFi didn’t seem to be all that strong for more taxing things and my tv signal kept breaking up. Not normally an issue as don’t tend to use when away, but having been at the Liverpool victory parade, I was keen to catch updates as to what happened with the incident. I will definitely choose The Mill on any future trip to Chester. Thank you

Good location, good breakfast, lovely staff. Room set up could have been more user friendly (eg. Nowhere to put any toiletries in the bathroom). Internet was very slow

Weekend Stay

Hotel does t have its own car park, but easy access via car park over the road.Easy check in, but instantly you feel the heat when you enter your bedroom. Thankfully we could slide the patio door open to cool the room down. Hotel needs AC these days and the lift was clunky. Buffet style breakfast with an average selection of food. Spa facilities were ok, except my partner paid a pedicure that had the polish come off within 3 hours of putting it on! TV in bedroom was in a bizarre position on a wall, this was to the left of the bedroom which meant you had to turn in bed!! very bizarre.Overall, i would suggest a major overall as with a little tlc, this hotel could be a 4star.

Odd place

The room was very outdated. It was super hot and there wasn’t individual access to turn the air con on. Reception staff were friendly until I asked for a VAT receipt and then refused and got cold because I booked through hotels.com. Weird place. I go to Chester often but I won’t stay here again.

Nice to be by the canal but the outdoor seating was not clean and the outdoor seating at the front was overlooking the car parks. Had to walk through a run down area from the train station to get to the hotel, and to get into town you had to walk through/over a busy underpass. Room was spacious but was not cleaned properly over the four days we were there. Dirty glasses left in room the entire time. Cheap flimsy plastic mugs provided instead of glasses. The fan in the bathroom would not turn off and whistled loudly the whole time. Breakfast was good but would have liked some fresh fruit salad.
