Fantastic hotel to stay in. Very clean and tidy everywhere. Room spacious and I was so glad there was a bath. Staff very friendly and helpful. The swimming pool, sauna, whirlpool and steam room were excellent. Breakfast was lovely and a good choice of food. Easy walk from the train station. Just a few minutes. Plus an easy walk into town too. Again not to far on foot.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We have stayed here on many occasions, although not recently. The only redeeming feature of the Mill hotel is its location, being within walking distance to the centre of Chester. However, the hotel is tired and in need of refurbishment. We were disappointed in our stay, after booking a club room rather than a basic room and feel that the hotel standards are definitely on the way down. It is likely that we will not return.

The hotel was in a good location - it had car parking, but was also within walking distance of the city centre. The room was a good size, with plenty of storage space. The bed was comfortable, although the room was perhaps a little hot for my liking, with no obvious way to regulate the temperate apart from opening the window and putting up with traffic noise. In the bathroom, the water was lovely and hot and the shower nice and powerful. The breakfast was reasonable for us as vegetarians.

Our room was very small and hot even though we turned the radiators off and old fashioned. Breakfast was ok but not a lot of choice. Situated well for the centre of Chester shopping area. Bar and dinning areas were very nice.
