Staff was excellent, rooms were very nice….good shower and good bed. My issue was most of the rooms are on a lower level and have egress windows so you can’t see anything. Location is in a beautiful neighborhood, but there are no pubs or cafes close by

The Chester is the Goldilocks of hotels ,not too much and never too little. The hotel is located in an ideal place for the theatre or for visiting Aberdeens many tourists attractions with plenty of easy onsite parking. It is within walking distance of many restaurants but The Chester has its own exceptional dinning that offers something for everyone in a fabulous setting with their attentive and friendly staff always on hand to complete the relaxed fine dinng experience. The Chester is perfect.

Another lovely stay, but the bar service is a bit chaotic while the building works ongoing. Also a lot of dust on the tables (building work) so it took a while to find a clean table and to be served. Passed on feedback about overwhelming body odour smell in reception and it was sensitively handled. Not the usual front of house experience I have at Chester due to this unfortunately.
