The Chester Hotel's location proves advantageous, with Victoria Station conveniently accessible and various restaurants and shops in close proximity, though some guests find the rooms compact.

Convenient Stay Near Victoria

great location friendly staff
The location is AMAZING. Victoria Station is a short walk. A large Sainsbury's supermarket is very close. I appreciated the friendly staff who were very helpful. It was possible to store my luggage for a few days for a daily rate.
The decor was quite dated. The walls could use new paint. The carpet seemed old and worn.

Acceptable Stay, Definite Shortcomings

unclean room unpleasant smell
The location proved convenient, especially upon arrival from the bus station.
The room was quite small and felt rather unclean. There were unpleasant smells that seemed to emanate from the proximity of the toilet to the bed. Marks covered the walls, and a strange box sat askew on the ceiling light.
