The City Walls Gathering

A nice large apartment with all the amenities you need for a few days.

Very noisy. Busy road with traffic most of the night, neighbours at rear were talking, playing music and smoking weed till very late. All the floors were loose, and we could hear every movement in the other rooms. Very low quality, lumpy mattresses. There are too many beds in some rooms this made it feel very tight and uncomfortable.

Close to the city centre

Shower very small. Pillows not clean (linen was)

The location was excellent, a really short walk into the city, information about being on a main road was plentiful so nothing unexpected there, the property itself was great, a little tired in some areas, but spotless and comfortable and well equipped, especially the kitchen. Communication from the owners/agents was excellent, if we had experienced any issues (which we didn't) I feel confident that it would have been sorted out straight away.

The digital keylock was a little tricky to operate, that could have been user error but the latch didn't always disengage, it worked eventually though so we weren't too inconvenienced.

location , price , information given etc

creaking floorboards, noisy road outside , so not easy to sleep. access with luggage was challenging as no drop off area mentioned.

Apartment had everything we needed. Comfy beds, hot showers, towels. Location is brilliant, a 2 minute walk into the centre. A little noisy with duel carriageway outside

The location was absolutely perfect for the City centre and river attractions. The amount of bedrooms and bathrooms were also ideal for our needs. The property was clean and there were plenty of towels and crockery ect, very well provided with coffee and tea also. However, the beds were not the most comfortable, but we did not let that spoil our lovely trip to Chester! And, would use Outlook again as it was certainly value for money.

Fantastic location, really good to be able to just hop on to the walls and circumnavigate the city. Great to have three bathrooms - ideal for three couples, it would probably be a bit tight on living space for more. Reasonably well equipped although the glasses were a bit thick if you like to savour your wine. On the upside, no need to worry about putting them in the dishwasher. Good communication from the company - texts to tell you the property was ready (90 minutes before scheduled, which would have been useful if we hadn't planned our arrival to suit 3PM) and to make sure entry with the code had gone OK.

Unloading the car is difficult. Not least because Chester contains some relatively rare "no unloading" yellow lines on the kerbs (remember your highway code?) I'd recommend a left turn just before you get to the property (I know, I know, how do you know when you're just before? - easy, it's just after you've gone under the city walls) because there's some 30 minute parking in the street and you'll have a lot less far to walk than if you turn left just after. The lounge furniture is a bit tatty. The chaise part of the sofa had patches of faux leather where the fabric backing was exposed and the coffee table looked like if had been used for defence from a shotgun. The TV seemed to have been melted (probably because someone moved the toaster to be near a plug which wasn't already in use for the fridge - not us, I hasten to add - we just remembered to plug the fridge back in after toasting). [Note that the TV isn't in the position shown on the picture - it's actually mounted over a kitchen worktop] The pillows inside the clean pillowcases looked a bit grim - some washable pillow protectors would help. Beds were a bit narrow and a bit unevenly sprung - not the most comfortable. And yes, take heed of the very honest noise warning - it would be worth asking for the sleep kits that they offer on pre-order - the traffic is noticeable all night and relentless after 6AM. Assuming you can sleep comfortably with earplugs.

Good location, mostly clean

Beds uncomfortable and several need replacing. Sofa very worn as was coffee table. Also should be replaced. Handle in one shower door is broken and another does not close properly
