I've stayed in various places in Edinburgh over the years, mostly trying to avoid a bland US-like hotel experience, or an over-the-top Are you Being Served unctuousness from some other top choices. My quest was for the wonderful boutique hotel which welcomed you back into its warm and drying arms after the all-day walking and experiencing which Edinburgh provides to... More

Booked the Chester Residence for our 35th wedding anniversary and can honestly say our apartment 7/3 was simply stunning! The service was top notch from start to finish. We arrived at 1.15pm and the very pleasant girl on reception apologised that our apartment wasn't quite ready as the last people were late in checking out. She kindly offered to keep... More

The room, well the pictures on the website just don't do it justice. Location, is fantastic took us rouhgly quarter of... More

What a fabulous experience. I had never stayed at an apartment residence before, so I was a little hesitant, but willing to check it out. Vavavoom! We stayed in Apartment 9/2 and it was to die for with spacious living room with dining area, large screen LCD TV, Maurice Villency or similar furniture with nice accessories like pillows and throws....

You've read all the reviews about the luxuriousness of this classy joint, but having had great and more expensive stays in NY, London, Paris, Rome, Chicago, and all over Europe, I've got to say the STAFF were simply the best of the lot! Obviously they all share a passion for guest treatment and it doesn't come as a surprise to... More

I enjoyed my time here.It was a bit of a walk to everywhere but I like to walk and the spring weather was fabulous.Roll on the trams though and then this will be an even better location to sleep quietly but get to see all that both old and new town have to offer. Although the staff could not been... More

We had a wonderful night in apartment six of The Chester Residence. This hotel/apartment experience is great. At Chester they have thought of everything, it really is a home from home (but more luxury than our house). There is a TV in the bathroom and I enjoyed a very hot bubble bath (Molton Brown toiletries) whilst watching the TV and... More

More of a high end luxury apartment with 5 star service and ameneties. We stayed in a penthouse on the top floor (room 9/1). The only criticism, is that there is no included breakfast and no elevators; since we were on the top floor, it was a bit of hike up and down. The area is quite good, but its... More

Other hotels could learn a lot from these guys. A real 5 star experience - not just somewhere expensive to sleep like most so called 4-5 star hotels I've been in. The staff can't do enough for you, but are unobtrusive with it. The appartments have to be seen to be appreciated - the staff are more than happy to... More
