The apartments are absolutely ginormous and very well-appointed with modern decor. The living room could host a party of 50! Staff are absolutely fantastic, attentive and polite. The place is a bit away from the hustle and bustle of Prince's street which can be a positive and negative. While everything about the apartment is super-sized, the bedroom itself could have... More

Staff were lovely, friendly and attentive. The room was just perfect, being brought a wee glass of champers immediately after arriving was a lovely touch. The room and every appliance in the kitchen was immaculate. Can't wait to stay again!

Best Hotel we ever stayed at. The staff went above and beyond. They knew about the surprise engagement since I got a special Package. They upgraded us to a Suite with an Amazing Tub and Movie Theatre. This place is huge and worth staying here at least a full weekend or 2-3 days. What you pay in cost you can... More

We stayed four nights on the top floor. From the time that we pulled up out the front we were greated by friendly staff and there was not a problem for anyone. The apartment was wonderfully clean and well appointed. The short walk to great restaurants and local shops made our stay worth it. A special thank you to the... More

These apartments are situated in the Haymarket area of Edinburgh and I can honestly say it is the quietest accommodation I have ever experienced. No floors creak which is uncommon in older buildings and we had a one bedroom apartment on the first floor. This expansive suite of rooms consisted of a medium sized bedroom with mirrored wardrobes and a... More

We stayed in January 2013 and had a fab time. The apartment for 4 persons was well equipped and very comfortable. The staff were informative and non obtrusive. We would certainly recommend and return. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Having stayed a number of times at The Balmoral, we were disappointed to find that they had no availability for our chosen dates this time. With Amex travel unable to offer anything else that appealed, I turned to trip advisor and thought That The Chester Residence sounded interesting and reasonably priced. Well what a lucky break we got! This is... More

We stayed in the largest 1 bedroom we've ever been in. It must have been 1600 square feet plus! It's a mews type residence/townhouse. Great bedroom, lovely beds, bedding, pillows. We slept like a baby with no outside noise to interfere. West End area, close bars, shops etc. The staff were just waiting to help, they couldn't have been more... More

Wonderfully specced and executed apartment. I have stayed at many hotels and apartments previously, but this was a class apart. The apartment was enormous and the facilities provided were everything we needed and more. Staff were lovely and very professional. Ed stood out as my guide at the bar to find whiskeys I would like. In short if this hotel... More
