The Mill Hotel & Spa

There is a reason that you keep coming back to a place. It could be that the staff are amazing or the rooms are boutique-y, maybe it's the location (Spoons in rolling distance?) Or just maybe because everything is 'just right' pick any of the above because I think this is my favourite hotel to stay at. From booking in at the reception (free parking if you book direct) to enjoying a pint and a snack at the bar, the lovely buffet breakfast and the friendly staff all combined makes the Mill hotel a bit special 🙂 highly recommended!

The hotel was very nice, reception were friendly and informative. The bar area was a nice space, cocktails were really good as were the fresh coffees, the staff were friendly whilst professional at all times. Breakfast was very good too, constantly topped up with fresh food, decent variety of food on offer. The whole team throughout the hotel work extremely efficiently. You can often judge a place by their reaction when things go wrong and there was a very difficult intoxicated man in the bar area on Friday evening. The staff worked swiftly, professionally & effectively in removing him without disruption to other guests.

Visited for two nights for my sisters birthday. One double standard, one twin standard. Both lovely and clean with everything we needed. All staff in all areas professional, friendly and capable. Rialto bar served lovely food and drinks, Canaletto did gorgeous breakfasts. Ten minutes walk into city centre. We didn’t hit the spa but it looked lush. Would definitely visit again. Many thanks to all xxx

Our 3rd stay here and am never disappointed. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the food is lovely from breakfast to Sunday dinners and nothing is too much trouble. The bar prices are better than reasonable and they have all the Sports events on during the course of the day. The spa looks clean, tidy well laid out and well staffed. The rooms are very comfortable with plenty of storage room for luggage and red hot water in the bathroom any time of day. 5 minute walk into the town centre along the canalside, and concession on the parking. Special thanks to the bar staff, I'll definitely be having belly pork for Sunday dessert again next time 😄

Just home after a 2 night stay at The Mill . Great hotel clean welcoming and we had free parking which is a bonus. Our room was very large as was the bathroom. The bed wasn’t the comfiest but if a firm mattress is your preference then it would suit. The water was red hot the shower over the bath a tad wobbly 😏 breakfast was good hot and plentiful to set you up for the day 😋 all in a a good choice 👍🏻

My partner and I booked a room here for two night during the week as we wanted a leisurely stay. The cooked breakfast breakfast was delicious! The room had everything we needed and was the perfect location for shopping and visiting the centre of Chester. We even had use of the swimming pool and jacuzzi which was just what we needed! If we ever return to Chester, I have every faith that we would book this hotel again. Thank you for making us feel welcome.

Couldn't have asked for better service and location from which to explore Chester. Staff were welcoming and helpful: breakfast was tasty and served like a well oiled machine. Thank you to the serving staff who made it so easy. Added to that parking and we will definitely be back.

I have stayed here previously and it's been fine. However, never again. Just returned after overnight stay in what can only be described as a prison cell. We arrived early 11am and left our bags. Returned to check in to be at back of big queue. Offered breakfast slot of 7.30 or 10.30 and vacate by 11am following day. No soap in sink dispenser. Room booked via booking.com was a standard double with twin beds. Room allocated tiny, dark and oppressive. Reception not interested on helping. I asked for a put up bed to enable us to have our own beds. None available. Not so courteous blonde girl on Reception with a stinking attitude. Paid £130 for this room which although clean was unrecognisable to prior experience. Tried to leave but couldn't get any accommodation. Hotel blaming booking.com but said we could have refund but with no availability to be had on a busy Friday night elsewhere had no choice but to stay. Ruined my whole birthday weekend. Put me off Chester altogether! Sliding downhill fast. Charity shops galore/crap room/no cooperation or assistance had breakfast went straight home. Disaster and an expensive one at that

An old converted canal side Mill premises with a great many facilities inc Full pool and Spa ,several eating options including its own canal barge restaurant, and CAMRA list Real Ale bar. We stayed here for 3 nights chosen because of location ,CAMRA listed premises ,good value onsite parking . We stayed on the 5th floor in a standard room, which for two adults both with cases was a little small ,but ok for what we needed. Breakfast was buffet style and had the expected range of food and was OK. We would probably stay here again if visiting Chester it was handy for everything

The room was nice as it had a bath and was quite spacious, but I'm giving 5 stars because of the spa! I had 2 amazing treatments at the spa and used the pool/sauna/hot tub. I had the best facial here and will definitely stay again if I return to Chester. My stay was so relaxing. It is located in a perfect spot between the train station and the city centre.

I've never stayed in the hotel but I have used the bar and the gym although not at the same time :) The bar at the Mill Hotel has the widest selection of real ales that I've seen in Chester. From memory they usually have around twelve guest ales on at any one time. If you're in and around Chester and you like your ale the bar at the Mill is worth a visit. The gym is exceptionally well equipped and the staff are very knowledgeable. Unlike a lot of gyms the Mill Hotel gym is rarely over-crowded and this saves time hanging around waiting for machines.

The Mill is quit a busy place as it is a Hotel, gym and restaurant(s) in one. The Hotel sits on both sides of a canal and the rooms on the side closest to the town are much better as this is the newer section hence these rooms are a couple of pounds more thou you are better of paying this as in the older part the rooms are ok but a little bit worn looking. The hotel offers a great breakfast what includes anything you could think of. There are a couple of restaurants in this hotel and including one on a barge what sits on the canal. The bar gets fairly busy but if you fancy something different that town centre is only a couple of minutes walk away. In general it's a good place as its very central

This place is quite unique - it doesn't look that big on the outside, but it crams in quite a few features and options inlcuding several bars and restaurants (including one on a boat!) - as well as a cute little swimming pool and sauna plus a very well equipped gym. The rooms are basic but fine - the decor could do with updating but this isn't really a big problem. And if you get a good deal on price (they do seem to fluctuate quite a lot) then this is a great place to stay in the city. Made even better by the facilities on offer - so don't forget to pack your swimming gear.

I really expected this to be a great place to go for a lot speciality beers, but it just didn't live up to expectation. It had sticky floors and the food did not look appetising. I would love to give it a better review as there were a lot of different beers on offer, but I'm afraid it needs an overhaul.

Lovely hotel parking a little tight but hotel is an experience Canl trips withmeal and dinner dances on a weekend , Gym pool and all the amenities you need rooms fantastic can recommend.Bar down stairs serves guest beers and is a friendly funatmosphere popular meeting place not too far from town centre
