Staff good and amenable. Good facilities although perhaps a touch tired.
Ran out of cask ales on Saturday afternoon.
Stayed overnight room large & comfortable with everything you needed. Clean bedding & towels. Bonus of the large pub underneath. Value for money food & drink. Loved the large tvs showing all football games. Could do with security lights up the side when leaving in the dark ! Large car park straight on the main road. Thank you will stay again
Room was spacious and quiet. Bed comfortable Good nights sleep. Easy parking. About a mile from centre of Chester.

Small, clean and reasonable
The check-in staff was fantastic. She ensured we were welcome and checked in efficiently.
The room was clean if small and too hot.
Clean towels were available and discounts available through the blue light card.
Enough condiments for two cuppas would have been welcomed, and maybe a biscuit.
Overall, the room served its purpose as we stayed one night for the Christmas market.
We had a lovely time, friendly, helpful staff, good location with a short walk into Chester but on the way I would recommend a stop in Hoole high street, I would stay here again
Excellent stay. Room cleanliness superb. Food great. Better then 4 star. Toilet cleanliness above and beyond.

A basic room but clean and not too small. We were judging stopping off en route to somewhere else so it was perfect for our needs. Friendly staff

Good location - staff friendly and helpful - room lightening very dull to read anything only bathroom light bright - no lifts only stairs - beds were small I was frightened to turn over incase I fell out of bed - seems an old building g needs a refurb to modernise it - windows didn’t open to stay open enough to get signing and radiators in a timer room very warm- otherwise it served the purpose glad we only stayed 1 night
Great place to stay a short walk into town. Great sized room and lovely beer garden. The only issue was that breakfast did not include any cold drinks e.g. water or juice

Hotel close to town ,rooms nice and ours was spacious and clean..
Nice to have pub for drink and food.
Only negative meals need be warmer
The Oaklands is a nice hotel with a great bar and beer garden. It is relatively close to the centre, you can walk. The room is nothing special but everything works. Easy to park.
Plenty of off street parking at no extra charge. A little out of town but only a 20 minute walk in to Chester centre or a £5 Uber.
Co-op nearby for supplies.
Room warm and clean. Perhaps a little more water pressure on the shower but still serviceable.
Did not dine here but looked like usual pub grub on offer in any other Greene King outlet.
Would certainly stay here again if back in Chester for the races or any other reason.
Summing it up, a pleasurable, safe stay.
Thank you team Oaklands

The room was excellent! Great bed and spacious room! It needed an elevator. Way too many stairs for my husband and I. The food downstairs was great for the price!
Great location with ample parking. Not many premises in Chester have so many TV screens with the bar atmosphere and a very good food menu. Some beers where off but still plenty of options to choose from. I will be staying there next year on the corresponding weekend with my friends from 50 years ago.
It was comfortable stay with excellent food served down stairs. Clean rooms and Bathroom. Bathed or had a shower 2 x a day. Brilliant feeling fresh all the time. Did my shopping and other business. A excellent place to stay being only 5 mins from the centre. King kabs great for travel to and from the hotel. My second stay at the hotel.
Overall out stay was good, staff were friendly and really helpful, food waa great, room comfortable but....lots of paint chipping off the wall which waa really unsightly! Bathroom great, would stay again ut definitely not in room 11 unless redecorated!
Initial room was flooded with leak in the bathroom from floor above.
When I arrived at reception I stood for 5 mins before being acknowledged from bar staff.
General cleanliness of tables, carpets, and who place was tired and old.
When ordering food at the bar my first 4 choices were not available.
This is a pub with rooms and while loving football, I was initially concerned about the number of TVs in the pub area. Definitely a popular locals pub. However, the property is run very well, with a strict 11.30pm out policy. It was a Friday night and by 11pm there were only a few stragglers left who could have been staying. The rooms were very good value for money, clean and comfy beds. Our party had two rooms, all slept really well and we commented how quiet it was. Only thing to note from an accessibility point of view our rooms had showers over baths. Staff were friendly and polite. Thank you for a relaxing night ready for a uni tour on the Saturday.
