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.

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

On arrival we were able to park the car outside accross the street on a meter overnight which was good. We had to climb the stair as there... more
