FAQ's
Q: We have looked at the pictures, is this Guest House more of a boutique hotel?
A: We are not a boutique hotel, we are a 3 star guest house. We do not wish anyone to confuse our guest house with much grander Chester establishments. As mentioned, the building is an historic, city centre Georgian town house. This means that it is a tall and narrow structure, the rooms are not huge but of course are adequate in size with every room having a small en-suite bathroom which includes a toilet, sink and shower.
Q: Is there parking available nearby?
A: Parking outside the Guest House is subject to availability, please call us on 01244 324455 for details. There are plenty of alternatives available for parking, we normally suggest that you to come to the guest house first so that we can advise you, depending on your individual circumstances.
Q: Do we have to check in between 3pm and 7pm?
A: We cannot guarantee earlier check in as we need to clean the rooms and prepare the Guest House. You can however drop off your bags earlier if you wish and return to check in later. Please be patient when ringing the door bell as we may be working at the top of the house. Self check in is available to those guests who wish to check in after 7pm. We will send you a code to get in the front door and the details of your room number etc to your mobile phone. Please ensure that we have your correct number including any country code. Alternatively, call us on the day of your arrival and we will give it to you.
