Macdonald Hotels……hmmm, The New Blossoms Hotel is, as most reviews state, in a central location to Chester City Centre, but not an advantage if you are visiting Chester for its charm and character as this hotel lacks both. With 3 nightclub venues (one directly below) within 20 yards of the front door, this hotel “literally rocks” until 4am at the... More

Excellent location. There is only parking at the fairly near shoppers car park, do ask reception for discounted parking, which we only discovered after checking out. The rooms are nice, although ours only had a shower not a bath which is worth noting. The breakfast was good although slow service.

Warmly welcomed by the staff, lovely spacious rooms which was well furnished & appointed. Room service was polite and very prompt. The location is fantastic if you want to be in the middle of Chester I'm not sure many hotels are better situated. Will certainly not be the last time I stop here, hopefully next time for a few more... More

For exploring the city and the walls, this hotel is great. The room was large, clean and very comfortable. Parking is out of the question, you have to leave your car in a shopping centre car park for the night at a cost of course. Breakfast was excellent with a great selection to choose from.

Stayed here for one night, we wanted a central hotel for our day at the races, the hotel is a 5 minute walk from the race course. The hotel is very clean, the rooms were warm and had plenty of towels. The shower was powerful and plenty of hot water. Andrew and the staff on reception could not have been... More

Central location your right in the middle for everything, fabulous service and staff bend over backwards for you, gorgeous rooms with some period charm, hotel has character but is not tired and outdated, cooked breakfast is to die for but they have a good spread of everything else, fresh fruit, pastries, yoghurts hams cheeses cereals etc etc
