Maison Claire

Location: Most reviews praised the property’s proximity to Chester’s city center, with some noting easy access to car parks and nearby attractions.

I had a wonderful time staying at Maison Claire. I stayed there on my own as I was visiting a friend who lives in Chester. Claire was absolutely wonderful and such a lovely host. She made me feel so welcome and was very helpful. I stayed in the single en-suite room. It was cosy but fulfilled all my needs. Clean and nicely decorated with plenty of storage space and cleaned everyday too! The location is fabulous. Right in the centre of Chester with only a minute walk to Northgate Street. I will definitely be staying here again should the need arise! Thank you very much Claire for a wonderful stay!

We recently stayed here for an overnight visit to Chester and booked a triple room for £135. Unfortunately, it didn’t meet our expectations. The room was far too small for three beds, making it difficult to move around comfortably. The bathroom was also poorly designed—the door couldn’t fully open due to the layout, and the shower was so tiny that my partner, who is over 6ft, couldn’t fit inside properly. Our two friends had separate rooms, which were even smaller, with barely any space to store luggage or move around. There was no proper storage, making it feel very cramped. The room had a small desktop-sized fridge, which was practically useless as it couldn’t fit much inside. The tea, coffee, and sugar provided looked like they had been sitting there for ages—our room only had brown sugar, and our friends’ room didn’t even have any coffee. Breakfast was not included in the price and had to be paid for separately. Given the cost of the stay, we expected more. In hindsight, for the same price, we could have booked a larger, more comfortable hotel with breakfast included. The overall experience was disappointing. While I appreciate independent hotels, B&Bs and AirB&Bs, this one felt overpriced for what it offered. I’ve stayed in a few other independent hotels in Chester, and unfortunately, this is one I won’t be returning to.
