“Excellent and memorable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

Me and my wife booked the owners residence as a special treat to celebrate our recent marriage. We couldnt have chosen a better place to have this. The staff were professional, friendly and helpful from the beginning. The room itself was unlike anything we had ever stayed in and was the epitome of luxury. The excellent service continued throughout our stay and the concierge (Rory) deserves a mention for his dedication to performing his job above and beyond his normal duties. Any need was made clear it would be catered for but this wasnt needed due to the superb apartment. I have since recommended this hotel to many others and there is simply no other place to stay in Edinburgh now that we have experienced here.

Room Tip: All rooms look great!

“Superb!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

Fantastic quality accomodation in a great location. We stayed in Apt 9/3 which has a huge lounge area, really nice kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The staff are very friendly and helpful and very kindly booked tables for me for dinner at very short notice. This is certainly the place I've stayed in Edinburgh and is probably on of the best places I've stayed anywhere. I could not recommend it highly enough.

“I guess heaven must be having suites like these”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

The day I checked in, I posted on my FB that the apartment was an epitome of luxury and that I had never see anything like this before and probably will never see again. The residence was a combination of what one expects for complete satisfaction of soul and body. Fabulous, Luxurious, convenient and and and and.............................................................................
Centrally located from all attraction. The staff was very caring and the so were the services. The healthy sundae for the breakfast was fab and I carried the recipe home with me. Always keep wondering, why don't other places have such standards of quality. Long to be here again.

“Why are these apartments not also in London??”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

What can be said that hasn't been already? These residences are just fantastic! Modern, perfectly maintained, incredibly roomy, and every appliance and electronic convenience you could reasonably want. We walked everywhere in Edinburgh from here, though if you desire, it's an inexpensive cab ride to almost anywhere. Great check in and out. Helpful very pleasant staff. A very pleasant experience all the way around. Would unhesitatingly recommend to the fussiest traveler I know - 5 Star Steve. Go ahead, book it!

“Heaven in the heart of Edinburgh!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

Stayed for one night (wished it was longer!) in November when visiting Edinburgh for the first time and I must say this was by far the best hotel I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. We arrived hours before check in as we wanted to make sure we were able to find the hotel - great location and we were able to leave our bags there while we explored the city! The staff are so welcoming and friendly and the hotel is beautifully decorated. When we returned to check in, we were told they were upgrading our room to the penthouse suite, and it certainly lived up to its name... Gorgeous rooms, all lavishly furnished, and stunning views of the city and castle! My boyfriend took advantage of the extras that they offer, too - champagne on arrival, pre-dinner canapés and wine, rose petals, candles and luxury bath products. Oh, and the Scottish breakfast the next morning; complete with more champagne! I couldn't have wanted anything more for my stay here! We will definitely be visiting again in the future, hopefully lots more times! And for longer next time, too, as there are some things we wished we had more time to do, such as visiting the bar downstairs a cocktail or two!
To sum it all up: lovely hotel, gorgeous rooms and outstanding customer service - The Chester Residence will not disappoint!
