This hotel is one of the best hotels I've been in all my vacations. Great staff during check in, daily housekeeping and refilling of items.Hotel room is inside a building with lots of character inside and outside. Rooms have a very nice scent when you walk in.Everything inside the room is very detailed and high end. Counter top stove and oven uses Siemen. Vanity lights are made in England and match the room very nicely. Light switches are from ABB which I've never seen before. Walls have wainscoting, and some walls have exposed brick/stone which complements the room very nicely. Walls of the room had a very nice shade of green, very very nice.Fully stocked kitchen (they included UK milk, which was very nice). Pots, pans, utensils all were all included. Nepresso Coffee machine was very nice.All bedrooms had an ensuite, with the master bedroom having a bath tub. Shampoo, conditioner, body soup, lotion were all high end Made in Scotland brands. Bed mattresses were thick and comfy. Everything was very clean.Living rooms had lots of windows facing the sun. Lots of couches and chairs. Windows had nice window seatings.

Beautiful rooms, perfect location, and very unique courtyard. It is at the gate of the Holyrood Palace and you can see into the grounds from this hotel. We had a lovely time. Only thing, if it's a hot day, there's no air conditioning as is common in the UK and the windows wouldn't open well, and there was no fan without asking. My husband and I roasted the first evening. 😆 So bring cool clothes, even as late as September.

Well it is lovely to find a place which looks even better than the photos. Our appartment was spotlessly clean everywhere, very neat and stylishly presented. Everything you would need for a short or longer stay. Comfortable bed, good blinds, lovely kitchen. The shower is brilliant and just works, no messing about trying to get the temp right.The building is full of character and really old, but tastfully modernised. You enter via a staircase in a tower from the well maintained and cared for garden.The location worked really well for us being at the bottom of the high street it's easy to find - 10 minutes walk from the centre. But it's far enough away from the crowds and nightlife to be quiet.

An absolutely wonderful stay at the Cheval Abbey Strand Apartments. Having visited Edinburgh on many occasions I have to say that this was the ultimate home from home experience. I cannot imagine that the City has anything better to offer. Fantastic location, beautiful property and a friendly and helpful first point of contact.

Lovely setting and well appointed dog friendly apartments. This is our second stay here and I now think we are spoiled and now will not be able to stay anywhere else when we visit Edinburgh. The apartment building is jury’s outside the gate to Holyrood Palace and the adjoining gardens are an excellent addition to our stay - when the gates are locked at night it really is like a private garden. Dog friendly to the point where a bed, bowls, treats & dog bags are provided. The rooms have kitchen/dining areas which are a boon to welcome our adult children over for Easter breakfast & takeaway night.
