Hotel was under remodel construction. Staff seemed confused and disrupted.
I’d stay again but hopefully the remodel completes soon.

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.

Stayed for 1 night, rooms lovely, some areas of the hotel shut for refurbishment , areas we were in were all very nice. Some noise in room as it was above the bar and garden room but not overly loud. Had dinner here very tasty, not huge portions but what you got was good. Would happily return.
