Really enjoyed the ambience at the Pied Bull and the staff were all welcoming, helpful & friendly. Our room was comfortable though the bed was a bit creaky. That said I slept well in it! The hotel was quiet & comfortable with a great selection of drinks at the bar and the breakfast was plentiful and tasty. We enjoyed it so much we’re returning in December. Thank you to the staff & hotel for being the perfect hosts for the visit to a wonderful city.

The room was pleasant but had a foisty smell to it. Lots of noise from outside but expected in a town centre. Free bottle of wine easily obtained from the bar. Breakfast was nice but expensive.

The hotel was lovely, but as the building is old it gets quite noisy and the drains were very smelly. Seems this is just a Chester problem!

We stayed over at The Pied Bull and absolutely loved it. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and full of character – you can really feel the history of the place, but it’s cosy and relaxed at the same time. The staff were friendly, attentive and clearly take pride in what they do. The food was excellent – hearty, well-cooked and full of flavour. Everything came out hot and beautifully presented.

Lovely place to stay, central to everything, staff were lovely. Bit noisy outside until early hours due to students partying but that's because of it be so central. We still managed to sleep. Only down side we didn't get our VIP perk of a bottle of wine 😂

Almost perfect

Building is beautiful, with lots of charm. There is a bar underneath that is fantastic. The location is central with everything on your doorstep. The room was a lovely room on the top floor, incredibly clean, however the walls in the room were paper thin, I could hear the person next to me talking all night. I get that it’s an old building, but there needs to be soundproofing in the rooms before I could justify staying again. I’m sure my neighbour could hear me just existing in the room next to him, so I don’t blame the other guest. Can’t comment on the breakfast as I didn’t get it, but from what I saw it looked nice.
