We stayed in this lovely pub this weekend & had a fabulous time! We were greeted by Christina who was wonderful & friendly with great local knowledge which made our time in Chester even more enjoyable. The pub is right in the middle of Chester, making sight seeing so easy. We parked the car & forgot about it for the... More

This hotel was one of the highlights of our trip around England. Christina and her husband were wonderful, and we could not get enough of their stories. This is a wonderful place to stay and the memorabilia from World War I is fantastic. What Albion Inn has done to preserve the forgotten war is amazing and we hope they are... More

Myself, my fiancé and my sister and her partner stayed here this weekend, travelling up Saturday morning for a family occasion in Chester. Immediately on arrival received a warm and friendly welcome and were given a parking permit voucher for our car. There are two rooms, one twin and one double, both of which are fabulous and wonderfully decorated. I... More

This pub has been in the same hands for 40 years making its landlord (Mr Mike Mercer) out in a league of his own in Chester. I first went there myself as a young fellow in the early 1970's and much of what I can remember from those days is still there! Properly kept real ales and properly home cooked... More

I would highy recommend this wonderful "gem" close to the City Historical walls.A charming and wonderful pub full of links to the Great War of 1914/1918 and the Cheshire Regiment.A wide range of beers and very good food.The accommodation is "spotless" and the service is amongst the best I have ever received.The breakfast was outstanding.

Although we have enjoyed previous lunchtime meals here and thought them fair value, we were somewhat disappointed last Friday - my fish pie was fine but a portion of haggis was really inadequate and it was disappointing that a serving of the excellent oatcakes came without any garnish or accompiniment, leaving two people still hungry, tho' I was personally happy!...

Tucked in on the outskirts of the city, just near the river this pub is a must visit for those who love quirky pubs. The signs clearly state who they will serve (Which may not be to peoples tastes, but it's there for a reason) The atmosphere is charming, with plenty of Word War memorabillia and dedications to patrons who...

We haven't visited the Albion Inn for several years but nothing has changed. It is still a genuine old fashioned British pub serving excellent real ales and simple but tasty home cooked food. The landlord hasn't changed much either - older but still as eccentric as ever. He was walking round carrying an old standard lamp that needed 'fixing' whilst... More

In an age where pubs are losing their identities to big corporations and chasing younger clientele with brightly coloured alcopops, real pubs are becoming harder to find. the Albion is a traditional pub, aggressively so. At the door a sign states hen and stag nights aren't welcome. Another proclaims no TV, no litle foild bags of sauce and no juke... More

If you enjoy drinking proper beer (bitter, not lager) in a pub where you can speak to your friends and have a home-cooked meal made with locally sourced ingredients, this is the place for you. The World War One memorabilia is entirely appropriate for the age of the pub and its location, within a few paces of an ex-army drill... More
