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 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.

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 👍

Great place but not the best nights sleep

Lovely place, friendly staff and excellent location Unfortunately the wall between rooms was so thin I could hear every moment of my neighbour all night. Also the pillows are terrible- made for a very uncomfortable nights sleep. I appreciate you can’t do anything about the soundproofing in such a lovely old building but the pillows are a very cheep easy fix Would stay again but not whilst working!
