Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to learn that your stay, which was intended to celebrate your 15th wedding anniversary, did not meet your expectations. The level of service you describe is particularly disappointing. Waiting an extended period for service at the bar despite requesting assistance from reception is not the standard of hospitality we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration this caused. We are equally sorry to hear that your request regarding the dirty mugs in your room was not handled in a helpful or courteous manner. We regret the issues you experienced with the comfort of the pillows and are especially concerned by your comments regarding the condition of the fan. Cleanliness is a priority for us, and it is disappointing to learn that the fan was presented in such a condition that you felt it necessary to clean it yourselves before use. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant department managers for review, as both the service and housekeeping issues you have highlighted fall below the standards we strive to deliver. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. Whilst we are sorry that your anniversary stay was disappointing, we appreciate your feedback as it helps us identify areas where improvements are needed. Kind regards, Mercure Chester.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found our team to be lovely and welcoming during your stay. However, we are very sorry to learn that several aspects of your visit did not meet your expectations. Please accept our sincere apologies for the cleanliness and maintenance issues you encountered, particularly the broken window and the problems with the shower. This is certainly not the standard we strive to provide, and your comments have been shared with the relevant departments for investigation and corrective action. We are also sorry that your breakfast experience was disappointing due to understaffing and the lack of available items such as pastries, cups, and other breakfast essentials. We understand how frustrating this must have been and will be reviewing this with our Food & Beverage team to ensure better service and replenishment moving forward. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. While we are delighted that our staff left a positive impression, we regret that the condition of the hotel and operational shortcomings impacted your overall stay. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a much-improved experience in the future. Kind regards, Mercure Chester.

A nice warm welcome and our previous stay many years ago was referenced. First night the wifi kept dropping out which we mentioned to reception in our way out the next morning. Reception advised if still having issues bring our devices to reception and they would enter the conference password for us to use that. Returned later that day , could see housekeeping had serviced the room, but not the bathroom. WiFi still kept dropping so went to reception who gave us the conference password, and the night manager came to our room to check we could still cast YouTube to the room TV. It worked for a while and mecure wifi and conference wifi both kept dropping. This triggered a memory from when we last stayed at this hotel where the wifi would not work at all in our room, which I believe may have been the same room or very close. On our 3rd day we came back from a day out to find the room had not been serviced, however housekeeping were in the corridor, so I asked them to service the room and advised the shower gel had run out, she acknowledged this, we went out, the room was serviced, however the showroom gel was still empty. The hot breakfast food was mediocre, the bacon was burnt 3 out of the 4 mornings, as im black burnt on the rind. The hash browns were tough every day. The main reason for my low score is the fitness centre. Only 1 shower in the men's changing room worked. Reception said it was with maintenance and must be done to required hotel standards, so couldn't gljust buy parts at local shops to fix. However other staff mentioned the showers have been broken for some time, and the hotel had a quote to fix but nothing was progressing. It's really not on for a busy pool/sauna/gym to have the men queue to have a shower. All the staff were lovely and polite.

The rooms are spacious and quiet at night. The beds were comfortable and clean. The swimming pool is really nice. The only negative I would say is that the room wasn't too clean with old features.

We have stayed over 10 times at the hotel but on this stay it was very noisy after midnight our room was at the front and the smokers outside were very noisy and lots of running up corridor s after midnight by adults , did report to reception but were in helpful , was disappointed on this visit have never experienced such noise before

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your continued loyalty to our hotel. We truly appreciate having welcomed you on more than ten occasions. We are sorry to learn that this stay was affected by noise disturbances during the night. We understand how frustrating it must have been to be kept awake by noise from guests outside the front of the hotel and by activity in the corridors after midnight. A peaceful night's sleep is an important part of any stay, and we regret that this was not your experience on this occasion. We are also disappointed to hear that you felt your concerns were not handled helpfully when reported to reception. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and your comments will be shared with the relevant team for review. Whilst we are grateful for your continued support and pleased that previous visits have been enjoyable, we sincerely apologise that this stay fell below the standards you have come to expect from us. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with the more comfortable experience you have enjoyed with us in the past.

Stayed for a brief two night stay at this hotel which is very conveniently located near Chester. A very good car park and grounds that were very ell maintained ( no walking through mud or fallen leaves) and with staff who wanted to to help. The staff here really do understand the the meaning of service.

I booked 2 rooms at this hotel sadly neither were to a satisfactory level along with the wider facilities. The rooms were absolutely freezing and the central heating was not on. The one thing is will say is that the staff were as helpful as they could be with the resources that they had and a plug in heater was delivered to one of the rooms. Sadly my mum had cause to complain about her bed and there was no mattress topper on it, the bedding also appeared not to have been changed from the previous guest and my mum slept on top of the bed on a towel the first evening, this was rectified the following day. On the second morning we went to use the pool however it was out of use to guests due to swimming lessons taking place. Night 1 there was also a strange man roaming the corridor and trying to get into one of the rooms which I found odd he looked quite out of place and I began to worry that the hotel was being used for displaced people which was a concern as I had to leave my mother alone in her room for a period of time. Room 2 had a huge stain on the carpet, no fridge and I did not use the shower during my stay due to cleanliness. Night 2 I was woken by another guest screaming and shouting at her partner at 4am I can only assume they were drunk. Everyone has their own standards when choosing a hotel which I understand but this fell far below expectation and I would not book with this hotel group again. I did not attend breakfast either day however you purchase breakfast for the room and not per person so was charged anyway. Good location not far from city centre about £10 in a cab and has parking.

The hotel is in a good location for getting to Chetser zoo and going in to Chester. The breakfast food is good and the staff are very friendly and helpful. However, upon arriving i had to ask for the room to be vacuumed as it was terribly dirty and we have small children including a crawler. The hallways smell of dog. The rooms decor wasn't even outdated it just looked like no one had tried. Overall, we were disappointed and would only stay again if prices were much cheaper than others in the area.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our location, which is ideal for visiting Chester and Chester Zoo, and that you found our breakfast to be of a good standard. It is also wonderful to know that our team made a positive impression through their friendliness and helpfulness. However, we are very sorry to learn that your room was not presented to the standard you expected on arrival. We understand your concerns, particularly when travelling with young children, and apologise for the inconvenience caused by having to request additional cleaning. This is not the experience we aim to provide for our guests. We also appreciate your comments regarding the odour in the hallways and the condition and décor of the room. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams, as we continually review areas where improvements can be made to enhance the guest experience. Thank you for your honest and balanced feedback. Whilst we are pleased that there were aspects of your stay that you enjoyed, we are sorry that the overall experience was disappointing. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide a much-improved stay. Kind regards, Mercure Chester.

Apart from the lovely overworked girl who checked us in the rest of the staff did not appear to have a clue as to customer service. The cleaning staff obviously know their job as the our room and general hotel was clean but unfortunately the building was tired and in need of attention, a refurbishment would not go amiss. As for the restaurant we should have realised thing where not going to be good when at 7pm on a Saturday it was empty. To start with the chef or probably better description would be cook was unwilling to change mashed potatoes on a dish to crushed new potatoes. the meals arrived with what appeared to be a pukka pie out of a packet and a grilled fish with soggy skin. So overall a very disappointing meal for the money. Breakfast was reasonable for a buffet style breakfast. The lounge was uncomfortable with a poor choice of beverages which where overpriced. Overall a very disappoint experience and definitely overpriced and not good value for money.

Stayed in a compact room. No problem with room area but the bathroom was very cramped

The hotel was well located with a big carpark, breakfast was lovely lots of selection we didn’t eat our evening meal here. However the rooms are very dated we had a family room which was advertised as having a double bed and a single but also had another bed ‘dumped’ in our room too, I don’t think the room quality matched the price of £175 per night

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location, ample parking and the wide selection available at breakfast. We’re sorry to hear that the family room did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the condition of the room and the additional bed, and we understand your concerns regarding the overall value for the rate paid. We certainly don’t want any guest to feel that their room has not provided the comfort or value they expected. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will share your comments with our management and housekeeping teams as we continue to review and improve our rooms and guest experience. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable stay in the future. Kind regards, Team Mercure Chester

Well located a short drive from Chester. Very comfortable bed and plenty of space in the room. Bathroom was clean with a good shower. We didn’t use the bar or restaurant for evening meals as there are plenty of good value alternatives near by. Buffet breakfast was tasty with a good selection of hot and cold options.

Thank you for taking the time to share your lovely feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the comfortable bed, spacious room, clean bathroom and good shower, as well as our tasty breakfast selection.

We had a lovely 4 day stay at the Mercure Abbotswell Hotel Chester. All of the staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. In particular Oliver on Reception who welcomed us & helped and advised throughout our stay and Parag in the restaurant. There seemed to be a slight hickup with infirmation from bookings to the restaurant as the restaurant only had us down for a two course evening meal and our paperwork confirmed a stay. After showing Parag the paperwork of our booking confirmation showing a 3 course meal he made every effort to make sure that we were well looked after. The really dissapointing part of our stay was that we had asked for a walk in shower due to us both having arthritis and the only one was in the disability room 118. The room was fine and as members we had bath robes and a fridge with water , soft drinks and kit kats. The bathroom however was so disgustingly grubby & tired that we ended up showering in the leisure centre! There was grime around the base of the tap, the seals on the shower screens had failed, sealant used was full of mould, fittings on the shower seat horribly rusty and the bathroom floor got soaked making it dangerous, even more so for a disabled person! No way could we enjoy a shower in there! We will go back to the hotel, but never in room 118 and only for the odd night as there are no other walk in showers.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your four-day stay with us. We’re delighted to hear that, overall, you enjoyed your time at the Mercure Abbotswell Hotel Chester and that our team made you feel welcome. It is particularly lovely to hear your kind comments about Oliver on Reception and Parag in the restaurant. We will be sure to pass your compliments on to them. It is also reassuring to know that, despite the initial confusion regarding your dining arrangements, Parag went above and beyond to ensure you were well looked after and received the three-course meal included in your booking. However, I am very sorry to hear about the condition of the bathroom in Room 118. We completely understand how disappointing and concerning this must have been, particularly as you specifically requested a walk-in shower due to your arthritis. The issues you describe, including the grime, mould, failed shower seals, rusted fittings and the floor becoming dangerously wet, are certainly not the standard we expect for our guests, and especially not in an accessible room. Please accept our sincere apologies that the bathroom left you unable to comfortably or safely use the shower and that you had to use the leisure centre facilities instead. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and will ensure your comments are passed to the relevant housekeeping and maintenance teams for urgent review and action. We are pleased to hear that you would consider returning to the hotel, although we are naturally disappointed that your experience means you would only feel comfortable staying for shorter visits and avoiding Room 118. Your feedback is extremely valuable in helping us identify where improvements are needed. Thank you again for recognising the efforts of our team while also highlighting where we fell short. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the comfortable and enjoyable stay you should have experienced on this occasion. Kind regards, Team Mercure Chester

We booked an overnight stay here as a respite lay-over after a 26-hour flight and the long drive up from London before heading on to visit family in the Wirral. The hotel is in a fantastic location with plenty of ample parking, and our room was spacious with very comfortable beds. Exactly what we needed to recharge. The only downside was the shower, which had extremely low water pressure. This made washing long hair quite problematic for my wife and daughter. Overall, a very convenient and comfortable stay, just let down slightly by the bathroom water pressure.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re delighted to hear that our location, ample parking, spacious room and comfortable beds provided exactly what you needed after such a long journey. It’s wonderful to know that you were able to recharge and enjoy a convenient and comfortable stay before continuing on to the Wirral. We are sorry, however, to hear about the low water pressure in the shower. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly when washing long hair. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will ensure the issue is passed on to our maintenance team for investigation. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your family back on a future visit and providing an even better experience. Kind regards, Team Mercure Chester
