What guests say
7.8 / 10 · Good on Booking.com, from 188 guest reviews
The Cheshire wins consistent affection for its distinctive British-themed decor, genuinely friendly staff, and well-regarded breakfast, making most guests feel they've found something characterful and good value. However, a recurring thread of complaints about inconsistent housekeeping, wear and tear in the rooms, and occasional cleanliness lapses prevents it from fully living up to its charming personality. Guests who embrace the quirky atmosphere and manage expectations around room upkeep tend to leave satisfied, while those expecting polished modern standards may be disappointed.
