Liked most: The apartment we stayed in, the penthouse, was spec'ed to a very high standard. I particularly liked the ability to share music throughout all the rooms (including the bathroom). Flat screens and freesat in both the living room was great. The whole apartment was very stylish with great lighting and pieces of art throughout. The bed was great... more

Just returned from a 3 night stay for Birthday / Anniversary. The Penthouse apartment was spectacular, although quite a trek upstairs. We arrived early and the room was accessible within 10mins. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly, however we had an issue on the 2nd night where the room was not accessed for cleaning due to an issue with... more

We stayed for 4 nights in the penthouse apartment. Sadly no lift but the climb up 4 flights of stairs was well worth the effort- the stairwell is beautifully restored and the views from the apartment out to the Firth of Forth are stunning. Kitchen and bathroom are state-of-the-art. The amply sized bed is extremely comfortable. Flatscreen TV's galore- living... more

Never have I been more positively surprised by a hotel room on arrival. Huge apartment style suites await with fabulous decor and great service if required. We had room 7/3 which had dining for up to 6 people, 2 sofa lounge with fireplace, Kitchen bathroom and bedroom. Do not hesitate booking - rooms are as good as reviews suggest. more

Just returned from Chester Residence after reading the great reviews on this site. We stayed 3 nights with a toddler and if only all hotels could be like this. We felt instantly relaxed and at home, well, a better version of home! Beautifully designed, all the very best gadgets and equipment and very cosy on a cold November weekend. For... more

The only problem with the Chester Residence? That our stay was only two nights. This is, for us, the new gold standard of hotels. Modern, clean, roomy; it was like having our own flat in the city. Staff was beyond helpful, and with the possible exception of the parking situation (and even that was alleviated by our being there on... more

Super posh design, everything is brand new, shiny and of good quality. Good taste. Located in an up-scale neighborhood. Very spacious living room and fully equipped kitchen. Great beds and outstanding media installations (huge flatscreen, surround sound in all rooms). All in all, pure luxury at VERY reasonable prices. Loved it!!! more

I've stayed at the Chester Residence on a number of occasions over the past few weeks - and its absolutely exceptional. Enormous rooms on the ground floor, wonderful penthouse with great views. Bathroom had underfloor heating and a plasma screen in front of the bath, lounge had enormous HD TV, iPod loaded with music, stocked fridge with fresh produce, exceptional... more

We stayed here for our anniversary weekend for two nights and were very impressed. The suite was beautifully laid out, facilities were wonderful and staff excellent. We chose it because it was rated number 1 on this site and booked through laterooms.com where we got a much better price than their own site. Much better than a hotel. If I'm... more
