The Chester Residence

We arrived at the Chester Residence way to early before check in just to drop off our luggage. The very friendly lady at reception told us our room would be ready in half an hour (at 10 am)! We were very happy with that after a long travel. We received a complimentary coffee and tea in the lounge while waiting. The apartment (2-bedroom Penthouse) is very luxurious and spacious. It has great views. The slippers and bathrobes are very handy (although a bit small). Bathrooms are very clean and seem just renovated. The music was on when we entered and gave us a very welcome feeling. In the refridgerator there was complimentry water and milk. Breakfast is delivered in the afternoon (because we booked it in advance? Not sure because other reviews mention in the morning) and has so many variety. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The residence is very nearby the center and is in a nice and quiet area.

The breakfast on our 2nd day was not (like the first day) stored in the fridge. We came back late after a long daytour throught the Highlands. So we did not dare to eat the salmon, roast bief and milk anymore after so many hours without cooling. There are a lot op toppings for just 2 slices of toast per person. The 2nd day we bought some extra baguettes in the supermarket. A croissant or some extra toast would have been nice (and was there before as we can see on other pictures in reviews). In the kitchen we missed a towel and soap to wash hands. Also scissors would be nice and some oven paper to keep the oven cleaner. Most glasses had some dirty in it. The sofa is not very comfy and I missed a table and chairs. I do not find bar stools very comfortable to sit on while eating. In the ensuite bathroom the handshower was leaking a lot and the vents need some cleaning. My mattras had a pit. I didn’t find it comfortable. The other side was a bit better and my sister in law didn’t had the problem in her bedroom. There is some wear and tear, e.g. the freezer is not closing.
