What guests think
At Oaklands by Greene King Inns, travellers highlight very friendly staff, plentiful free parking, and a lively on-site pub, while rooms are generally basic but comfortable and the location is walkable to Chester’s centre.
Common drawbacks include dated or tired areas, small or very warm rooms, and maintenance niggles such as flaky paint or occasional TV problems. Cleanliness is mostly fine but inconsistent, with some reports of unclean bathrooms, a leak, or a lingering hallway smell. Food and drink are good value in the pub, though breakfast and cask ale availability can be limited or variable. Overall, expect a budget-friendly pub-with-rooms base for exploring Chester.

Great location with ample parking. Not many premises in Chester have so many TV screens with the bar atmosphere and a very good food menu. Some beers where off but still plenty of options to choose from. I will be staying there next year on the corresponding weekend with my friends from 50 years ago.

Stayed overnight room large & comfortable with everything you needed. Clean bedding & towels. Bonus of the large pub underneath. Value for money food & drink. Loved the large tvs showing all football games. Could do with security lights up the side when leaving in the dark ! Large car park straight on the main road. Thank you will stay again

Oaklands is on the outskirts of the centre of Chester. Bus stops are close by but it's also a nice walk (25mins or so) to the start of the city walls. Parking is available both at the front and rear with plenty of spaces and no extra charge. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the room was comfortable, clean and quiet. An enjoyable short stay to explore Chester.

For £75 and for one night it was perfect. I like the busy aspect of the pub downstairs. Typical Hungry Horse so you know what you are getting. Loads of TV's with the football on. Nice pint, and typical pub grub. Hotel aspect is a bit different. Nothing like a holiday inn or Premier in, but perfectly acceptable for the price. Not a place for a romantic weekend, but for a night at work ok. I was in Room 5 which was probably the largest physical room I have ever seen. Bed was comfortable, but duvet was thinner than I would have liked. Little bit tired around the edges, but again for the cost all ok and free parking. Breakfast was limited, but for £9 I left feeling full. I would stop again.

This is a pub with rooms and while loving football, I was initially concerned about the number of TVs in the pub area. Definitely a popular locals pub. However, the property is run very well, with a strict 11.30pm out policy. It was a Friday night and by 11pm there were only a few stragglers left who could have been staying. The rooms were very good value for money, clean and comfy beds. Our party had two rooms, all slept really well and we commented how quiet it was. Only thing to note from an accessibility point of view our rooms had showers over baths. Staff were friendly and polite. Thank you for a relaxing night ready for a uni tour on the Saturday.

We have stayed here before and our stay was great. This time our room was very small with limited natural light , the bed was comfy and the room and bathroom was clean and had the usual tea, coffee etc. The biggest complaint would be that there was a strange smell in the hallway leading to our room, dont quite know what it was but it wasnt pleasant. The staff were polite and the bar area was nice. I would stay here again but would book another room.

Plenty of off street parking at no extra charge. A little out of town but only a 20 minute walk in to Chester centre or a £5 Uber. Co-op nearby for supplies. Room warm and clean. Perhaps a little more water pressure on the shower but still serviceable. Did not dine here but looked like usual pub grub on offer in any other Greene King outlet. Would certainly stay here again if back in Chester for the races or any other reason. Summing it up, a pleasurable, safe stay. Thank you team Oaklands

I booked a dooble room and a family room with three single beds. Double room was ok, but the family room was also a double room. I complained at reception and showed her our booking. Although the staff at recption were helpful the manager was not. She tried to deflect the situation by saying we checked in late. There was no time limit to check in on my phone. Its the fourth time we had stayed there and there was no issues about late check in on all occasions. She said you can you use the sofa as it doubles as a single bed, but we had to make the bed ourselves. Luckily one of my friends couldn't make the trip otherwise he wouldnt of had a bed to himself

Clean towels were available and discounts available through the blue light card. Enough condiments for two cuppas would have been welcomed, and maybe a biscuit. Overall, the room served its purpose as we stayed one night for the Christmas market.

Location
Situated on the outskirts, it’s roughly a 20–25 minute walk to Chester’s centre, with bus stops nearby and inexpensive short rides. Many found it convenient, though a few noted buses/taxis weren’t always easy to catch.

Plenty of off street parking at no extra charge. A little out of town but only a 20 minute walk in to Chester centre or a £5 Uber. Co-op nearby for supplies. Room warm and clean. Perhaps a little more water pressure on the shower but still serviceable. Did not dine here but looked like usual pub grub on offer in any other Greene King outlet. Would certainly stay here again if back in Chester for the races or any other reason. Summing it up, a pleasurable, safe stay. Thank you team Oaklands

Oaklands is on the outskirts of the centre of Chester. Bus stops are close by but it's also a nice walk (25mins or so) to the start of the city walls. Parking is available both at the front and rear with plenty of spaces and no extra charge. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the room was comfortable, clean and quiet. An enjoyable short stay to explore Chester.

The Oaklands is a nice hotel with a great bar and beer garden. It is relatively close to the centre, you can walk. The room is nothing special but everything works. Easy to park.

A great place to stay. Great room. Plenty of space. Food in the hotel was good quality and very reasonably priced. We used this as a base for travel into Liverpool.

Initial room was flooded with leak in the bathroom from floor above. When I arrived at reception I stood for 5 mins before being acknowledged from bar staff. General cleanliness of tables, carpets, and who place was tired and old. When ordering food at the bar my first 4 choices were not available.

Stayed overnight room large & comfortable with everything you needed. Clean bedding & towels. Bonus of the large pub underneath. Value for money food & drink. Loved the large tvs showing all football games. Could do with security lights up the side when leaving in the dark ! Large car park straight on the main road. Thank you will stay again

Great place to stay a short walk into town. Great sized room and lovely beer garden. The only issue was that breakfast did not include any cold drinks e.g. water or juice

Staff are nice and the room was okay. Sadly, my experience the hotel was full of workmen who lock themselves out drunk in the middle of the night, shouting and talking to their mates like they’re on holiday. Awful breakfast deep-fried mushrooms and an obliterated microwave scrambled egg. Won’t be going back there again.

For £75 and for one night it was perfect. I like the busy aspect of the pub downstairs. Typical Hungry Horse so you know what you are getting. Loads of TV's with the football on. Nice pint, and typical pub grub. Hotel aspect is a bit different. Nothing like a holiday inn or Premier in, but perfectly acceptable for the price. Not a place for a romantic weekend, but for a night at work ok. I was in Room 5 which was probably the largest physical room I have ever seen. Bed was comfortable, but duvet was thinner than I would have liked. Little bit tired around the edges, but again for the cost all ok and free parking. Breakfast was limited, but for £9 I left feeling full. I would stop again.

A very tired looking hotel. Stains on the duvet cover. It's definitely in need of a refurb.
