Avoid at all costs
Hotel smells musty from entering the door. Greeted by leftovers from room service outside the door of a room a few doors away that was still there the following day. The room had a blood stain on the carpet as you cross the threshold. The toilet didnt flush and no hot water at 7am. Didn't want to chance the breakfast. Young girl on reception with a very painful looking black eye totalled 3 staff members we saw during our stay. The first being the receptionist on arrival who was smoking by the front door. I was really looking forward to my stay a this 'spa' hotel. Shocking is the only word i can use

The Mollington Banastre is a once-grand property in sore need of renovation in some areas. The reception, and downstairs areas were in good order, but the bedroom we stayed in was scruffy! It was a pet-friendly room, so I didn't expect it to be plushly furnished, but I also didn't expect the curtains to be in tatters! On the flip side, the breakfast was good and the staff were pleasant and welcoming. At £100/night on average, plus a per surcharge of £15, it was a bit steep!

We stayed at this hotel for our trip to Chester zoo and the location is great for the zoo. Check in was easy despite our late arrival. However, as per other reviews the hotel is quite old and could do with being revamped. When we woke up Saturday morning we unfortunately didn’t have an hot water for a shower. The spa / pool also looks like it needs some tlc. The walls were quite thin that we could hear people at 2am returning home and coughing next door. However, for the price we paid for the two nights we couldn’t argue too much.

Since my comments yesterday, we were moved to a better room, Room 6. This was a lot better than 14. Still right hand curtain ripped, and bed valance also ripped. Carpets stained. Again bed was uncomfortable you can feel the springs. Had a good breakfast yesterday for £10, should have pre ordered scrambled egg, but it was ok. Think the whole place generally in need of a refurbishment if they want to compete with the Holiday Inn Express and Premier Inns of this world. Once again unable to add photos on this app !!

Nice, just tired...
Had a family suite for one night to stay with my 2 boys. The hotel was probably once a thriving, quite impressive hotel however it was let down by being very (very!) over-due a refit! I have no particular complaints as it was very clean (other than the mugs in the room looked like noone had washed them since the last guests!), just very tired. The pool area was good. Nice large pool with a childrens section.

Family Stay
Two night trip away with my partner & 2 year old son. Standard Queen room. Was clean and cosy enough. A cot was provided in our room as requested. Plenty of space in the room also. Around a 7-8 minute drive to both Chester Zoo & Chester Centre. We got a taxi into the centre 1 night (£8). Would recommend the Sergios Italian Restaurant. Didnt experience the spa services so cant comment. Chose not to get breakfast for £15 and instead went for breakfast 3 minutes down the road at The Wheatsheaf (£4.99) all you can eat breakfast.

Tired, dated, unclean
Very tired and dated in both public areas and bedroom. Cobwebs in restaurant and crumbs on carpet, looks as though it hasn’t been cleaned in ages. Bathroom was a disaster, toilet seat loose, difficult to flush, took several minutes to refill, water pressure very poor, wash bowl slow to drain, big dirty gap between bath and floor, radiator bracket had punched a hole through the wall. We were refused croissants at 9.20, even though breakfast advertised till 10.00. Tea and coffee was not readily forthcoming. Overall very unsatisfactory

Excellent hotel in a very nice setting, location is very quiet and peaceful for a nice break. The hotel has a nice size pool with jacuzzi hot tub and sauna which is definitely a luxury. Good selections for breakfast and dinner including room service if you prefer, but overall I have to say the staff are excellent - my partner and I have stayed here before and the staff are extremely polite and personable which adds to the charm of the hotel!

We stayed for 4 nights in the Mollington Banastre, and few things we've noticed when we walked in the room was that there was no air-conditioning or hangers in the wardrobe, no doorknob signs to get your room cleaned, the pillows were very thin. The property has ample parking space, the staff were very nice and helpful and the indoor facilities were also quite good.

Stayed two nights in twin room. Hotel is in need of an update. Our room was clean but wardrobe doors would not shut, shower head fittings falling apart, toilet difficult to flush. Hotel surroundings are lovely, the pool and fitness facilities are good. Staff all very nice and helpful. Restaurant food quality hit and miss, my pasta was good, my wife's fish and chips was poor.
