Chester Hotel review: Dene Hotel

We'd originally booked into the Comfort Inn down the road, but got an email a few days later telling us it was closed, and that we'd been relocated to the 'Dene'. This seemed a little odd, and I had a few misgivings about the place (not least since the photos on their own website didn't manage to show the place in its most flattering light), but we ended up being pleasantly surprised. The area was nice, the hotel clean, and the staff friendly. The room itself was nice and private, with a distinctly homely feel to it. The en suite bathroom was fantastic (sparkling and spider-free), and the bed HUGE! The room looked a lot more modern than I was expecting (although they could do something about the blankets- it looked like somebody had eaten the 1960s, then thrown them up onto bed-linen). That's a small gripe though. Otherwise, a great place to stay, and highly recommended; especially for those preferring a nice, residential area to the noisier parts of town!

Edinburgh Hostel review: Edinburgh Backpackers

Booked on a budget and wasn't sure what to expect, but this place was fantastic value! The beds were comfortable, the staff friendly and the view from the window, over a very Christmassy city, was great! On the downside, the heaters in the room didn't seem to work and hot water was temperamental; but, for the price we paid, it was EXCELLENT VALUE. Would definitely stay there again, and recommend the place to anyone who doesn't mind cutting back on a few luxuries.
