Busy property, lots of families and people using the gym. The bar and grill can be very busy and noisy with children running around which makes it a little noisy for other residents - the lack of soft furnishings enhances the noise. The conservatory is the only quiet space available so is prime real estate for anyone without young children. Hotel was clean, staff were super helpful all the time. We were in a freshly renovated room where the bathroom renovation was excellent apart from a lack of towel rails. The bedroom needed another light in the TV corner and maybe an armchair.

Lovely staff at reception and at breakfast. Adequate twin room. Pool was nice, although highly chlorinated and my daughter could only use for restricted hours ever it was full of other children messing about, so she couldn't swim lengths - why can't a decent teen swimmer do laps with adults? Excellent value for money. Would recommend.

The hotel was very clean with comfortable beds. The shower was ok but there were a few leaks. We was surprized at no internet access on the TV. The bin emptying in the bathroom was not included in the room refresh. We only had breakfast during our stay which was OK but could have been improved if the hot food had been hotter. We considered the prices asked on the menus were on the high side. I would consider staying again.

Room was kind of fine. Self check in means you don't really speak to a person which I don't love. My shower head had a consistent drip all night despite me not turning it on. The bathroom could have been cleaner as there was still toothpaste splatter up the wall. The room was noisy once people were up and about, could hear doors banging from about 5.30. Also had workmen almost directly outside my room so couldn't open the blinds whilst I was getting ready and the lighting in the room was poor without the blinds open.

Stayed over with the Mrs for a night in Chester. For the price we paid I can’t fault the hotel. Brilliant value for money. Was even upgraded on arrival and given access to the gym and pool for free (we didn’t use them though). The only faults we could find were the lack of plugs in the room, 1 double socket at the far side of the room and there a no ceiling lights so the room is very very dark.

The shower was poor, it was like a dripping tap and very old fashioned. There was no sky tv even though it was advertised having sky. The bed was very uncomfortable and woke up with a very bad back. Doors of main door and wardrobe slammed shut. Everything done via qr code which was annoying. I reported a few things and nothing got done.

Great hotel for a short stay. My only issue was that money was taken from my account at the end of our stay. If I hadn’t checked my statememt, I would not have noticed. It was over a £100. It took a week for it to be refunded however, the matter was dealt with politely and professionally.

The hotel is perfect for families and couples. Everything is on site, the bar is friendly and comfortable, the pool is great and our family room was huge and perfect. The location was excellent and just a short distance from the city centre and the zoo. Thank you to all all St David’s for making our stay so enjoyable.

My brand new shirt that I was ironing to wear for a funeral was damaged due to a damaged ironing board. I had both the shirt and ironing board inspected by one of the reception staff who took photos of both to show the damage. The ironing board was replaced with a new one, unfortunately of no use to me as my shirt was already damaged. No feedback from the hotel, asked Claire on reception about it two days later, she advised me that she would check with the manager who was on site that day. Still awaiting a response from anybody at the hotel.

We asked to be moved as the room next door was noisy during the night but was told the occupants were leaving that day. We therefore stayed in the room. The next night was even worse and we were told when we complained the next morning that it unfortunately been occupied by lads on a stag night. The sound on the tv also didn't work and we were told it would fix itself in approx 20minutes. It never did for the whole weekend.

Only negative was experience of ordering food. It didn't arrive and after 45mins of waiting, late at night with two young children we asked and they said they'd gone to table number and no one was there. Turns out there are duplicate table numbers depending on if you are sitting in the bar or conservatory. Staff didn't ask where we were sitting only for a table number. It was my fault apparently as I didn't tell them I was sitting at table 18 in the conservatory. Common sense should have told them to check the other table 18 if no one was at the first one surely. They did without any delay, refund the payment when I asked.

A busy place with a large bar/gym both popular with locals + conference rooms , lots of families and white van people. Very near to the busy dual carriageway A494. Food not a problem - 3 takeaways + 2 small Co-op supermarkets all within 10 minutes walk. Our room was clean and tidy but our first night was marred by shouts, bangs etc. from a very noisy school group on the same floor. We told Reception who then asked the teachers to control the rowdy kids which thankfully, they did. Odd that the details say this Ewloe hotel is in Hawarden which is actually 2 miles away. OK if you need somewhere with easy access to the A494/A55.

The hotel did extremely well for the private family function we attended with a Sunday lunch, the service & food was good. The bedroom was too hot, but there was a fan in the wardrobe if you wanted it. Breakfast wasn't great for me, as I wouldn't eat a full English. I only had toast & awful coffee, as there was no milk for the coffee machine. There was limited fruit, no yogurts, pancakes or pastries only croissants. The pool area was stifling and water temperature was too hot.
