A nice place to stay
Took a little bit of a gamble after reading some of the reviews but very glad we did. Yes, the hotel could do with a bit of tlc in places but, on the whole, it’s a very pleasant place to stay, excellent staff and very good food. Thoroughly recommended

Thank you Karen :)
This is the second time staying at the George in the last two months, both times have been pleasant experiences. This time I want to shout out to Karen on reception, I needed a taxi to get to my final destination on checking out. I was aware from my taxi journey from Hexham that most firms would be fully boked with school runs and it was unlikely I'd get a cab at the time I needed. Karen also said the same at check in, however, she said, "leave it with me, I'll ring around". Within 10 minutes she came to me and informed me she'd got me a taxi. Some staff would have simply said, sorry you won't get one and not bothered but through Karen's thoughtfulness she went above and beyond to assist, thanks again Karen, you helped me massively with my onward journey. Finally to the catering staff, again, nothing was too much, all done with a smile and willingness to engage in conversation.

Enjoyable stay
Stay was good. Hotel is a little dated but its clean amd the rooms were comfortable. The food in the resteraunt/bar was good. The reception staff were very pleasent and helpful during check in. The bar staff i dealt with were also very friendly and helpful. The only thing I could really complain about is when we ordered food we ordered 2 starters and 3 main courses. These all arrived at the same time and when we questioned it we were told that the kitchen were not aware it was to be brought out at different times which i found very odd, therefore the mains were cold by the time we ate them. Also they came out with our desserts when there was still dirty plates and never cleared the table. Apart from the dining issues the hotel is a good all round hotel and I would stay here again.

Fabulous setting for a hotel. The hotel itself was nice but in desperate need of redecoration. Wallpaper hanging off the wall in the corridor and rooms whilst comfy and adequate do need refreshing.

Old building, very creaky floors. Room was spacious and clean. Facilities weren’t great. Sauna and steam room looked like they’d not worked for years. The pool was ok but the pool and gym building has seen better days and the corridor to them was full of water leaks and smelled foisty. Restaurant and bar area excellent. Great food. Location beautiful on the river. In walking distance to Chester fort. Doubt we would return.

Not a pleasant experience
The room was cold and sparsely furnished. The shower was lukewarm on the first night of our stay and cold on the second night. I was unable to complain at the time as there was noone on reception until after our evening meal. The room had little sound insulation and we could hear the conversation and television from the next room. At dinner, one of our meals was completely inedible and had to be returned. I had to change it for a meal that was way more expensive but nothing was taken off the bill.

George Hotel is lovely, but, with one or two exceptions, the staff seems bored and uninterested. Hard to get attention at the bar or restaurant. It seemed like an imposition when I asked a staff member to clear a table do we could sit there.

No remote in my room, no towels in my travel companions room, rooms we not made up daily, which I’ve never experienced before, and no telephone in rooms made getting assistance a pain. The hotel was in general nice, bar and restaurant were good, staff were good and the location is lovely. But the poor housekeeping spoilt the stay a little.
