We celebrated my birthday with a trip to Edinburgh, where we stayed at both Chester Residence & The Witchery. Loved our time at Chester Residence, with staff who make you feel at home from the moment you arrive.. rooms are very chic, spotlessly clean, and i was very happy to find a Nespresso in the kitchen. Also loved the canopy... More

The location is great (from the airport you can take the "Airlink" buses and walk 5 minutes if you don't have heavy luggage). You're just a few minutes walk away from the shops and park from where you can see the castle. The apartment is really well furnished and you get the feeling you are in a luxury hotel (but... More

I had the privilege of living at The Chester Residence for 9 months a few years ago. The luxury design of each unique apartment and the world class service cannot be put in words. Perfect location in the heart of Edinburgh puts it walking distance to everything. If I could find the equivalent in each city I travel to, life... More

Not usually short for words, I am finding it difficult to find superlatives to do the Chester Residence justice. We stayed for a weekend in January and were impressed from the moment of arrival. This hotel is very different from others on a number of factors. The sheer space and spec of the furnishings and fixtures is imediately impressive. It... More

Need we say more, we came first during the festival last year and decided to return for a January chillout. This time we were in the Penthouse Room 7/1, superb room(s) with view over Forth to Fife, and everything excellent in a real "home from home" again. Nice touch of Whisky and mini-haggis brought to our room on Burns night.... More

My partner and I stayed at the Chester Residence at the end of January and can't fault it. We were originally staying in a different hotel but after reading the reviews on here I changed my booking and so glad I did. Was so relaxing and comfortable and the staff are very helpful organising taxis for us. We ate at... More

I found the apartment very comfortable and ideal for my purposes, the staff are to be highly recommended for their professionalism and attention to detail. I was particularly impressed by the staff member who took our drinks order in the street when we were on our way to the flat and produced the tray in the room within a very... More

I scored a ridiculously low price for a 3 night stay from one of the discount websites. The welcome email I received on making the booking regarding the purpose for our stay and whether we needed an iPod for the room hinted that this would be a memorable hotel. In addition to the great price, we received an upgrade to... More
