We arrived at Hotel Indigo Chester which is set a five-minute stroll from the heart of the city. Here you will find a range of independent shops restaurants and bars, all of which have their own unique character. A day spent shopping in Chester is simply delightful. We were warmly greeted and we immediately felt confident that all measures were in place to keep staff and residents alike safe during their stay at the hotel. The hotel had clearly taken the Covid-19 pandemic seriously, which was very reassuring. Check-in was swift and uncomplicated and we were directed to our room promptly.
We were more than happy with our room, which was tastefully decorated. It was modern in style and had clearly been designed with some considerable skill. We were provided with bath robes and slippers and the bath products were of a high quality. In room tea and coffee making facilities were available and there was a good selection of tea and coffee. The bathroom was luxurious with possibly the biggest shower we had ever seen! Unusually, there was a speaker in the bathroom ceiling that allowed you to listen to the television whilst showering. This was a real novelty that we quickly got used to and now miss! Overall, the room was well equipped with a good size television, comfortable bed and spacious wardrobe. The view from the room was pleasant for a city centre hotel, overlooking a church and other historic buildings. A leisurely stroll could be had in the park adjacent to the hotel.
We booked for an evening meal at the hotel which turned out to be a good choice. We had a seating booth, which afforded privacy and intimacy for the evening. There was a good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The menu was varied with just the right amount of choice to suit all tastes. We opted for one lamb and one tagliatelle both of which were sublime. The hotel is clearly succeeding in providing its guests with a dining experience that they won’t soon forget. It was one of the highlights of our stay. It was a delight being able to watch the chefs prepare and cook our food from their cooking station to our table. The bar area was relaxed and had an ambience that encouraged us to spend the evening there. The hotel offers a range of choice for breakfast. Full English, Continental, Eggs Benedict, Smashed Avocado or Omelette were all on offer, catering for all palates. The service at both breakfast and evening meal was excellent. Staff were friendly and had got the balance just right. They were able to provide high quality table service in an unobtrusive manner which is quite a skill.
If you are looking for a relaxing break with comfort, a luxurious room, exceptional food and high quality service, then look no further. Hotel Indigo Chester delivers on all counts and we look forward to returning very soon.
