Top tips for finding Chester hostel deals

  • If you’re looking for a good deal on a Chester hostel that is well-priced, central, and offers all the amenities of a comfy stay, look no further than the Bunkroom. Conveniently located a short walk from Chester central and Chester Rail Station, it will place you and your group of friends or family right in the heart of the action. With Chester Zoo just three miles away, Chester Racecourse just over one mile away, and a host of pubs, clubs, and bars at your disposal, you will be able to enjoy your time out and come back to comfort and cleanliness at the Bunkroom. A great hostel choice for a group weekend getaway in the city.
  • If history and heritage are on the holiday agenda then the ancient city of Chester is a great place to visit. Perhaps consider booking a Chester hostel like the Trinity Hall in George Street, which is within walking distance of some of the oldest sights the UK has to offer. You will be able to visit the Roman Amphitheatre, Chester City Walls, Chester Cathedral and other great sights all based under a mile away. Trinity Hall has over 72 rooms to choose from, a great communal kitchen and an atmosphere that is perfect for students and young travellers.

Both options offer walkable distances to the Chester Zoo, Northgate Arena Leisure Centre and other great Chester attractions.
  • Hostels are the budget-friendly approach to travelling that can add that extra layer of adventure into your trip, particularly if you are with friends.
