22 Chester Street is in the West End in a large New Town building close to the Episcopalian Cathedral with its bells rung on a Sunday morning (audible but didn't wake my travel companion). Our room was on the ground floor with 2 twins with a large separate bathroom for our own use next door, dressing gowns were provided for our use between rooms. The room was a good size with tv, the bathroom was enormous with both bath & shower. There is a lounge with games, books & tv, plus microwave, that we used on our last day whilst waiting to leave on late evening trains, we were also able to leave our luggage whilst we used our last day to do some more sightseeing. Chester Street is minutes from the west end of Princes Street with local bus stops nearby, many going the length of Princes Street, just tap a card on boarding. The area is quiet but also well served by cafes, bars & restaurants. 22 Chester St doesn't do food but I'd recommend Foundry 39 (dinner), Vesta (Social Bite pay it forward) (breakfast & dinner), La Plaza Bistro (breakfast), Cairngorm Coffee. I'd recommend booking at busy times eg Hogmanay, we found that it was almost essential to book. I can't praise the manager Lukasz enough, welcoming, always there, not at all intrusive, just a lovely host, he's a credit to the property.
