I recently stayed at the Cheval Old Town Chambers during my week-long vacation to Edinburgh. I could have not selected better accommodations. This is truly one of the best hotels I have stayed at. The hospitality is exemplary without being overbearing. They were all so kind! The app is extremely useful with communicating with reception. The location cannot be beat. I started each adventure with a view of the gorgeous St. Giles Cathedral. It‘s surprisingly quiet too despite being on the Royal Mile. I never struggled for sleep in the comfortable beds. The rooms are immaculately clean and you immediately feel at peace when you enter. I loved that I could access my room with a code and not have to keep up with keys or keycards. I also loved that they supplied the room with fresh milk and an assortment of teas/coffees. It was such a nice touch!I fell in love with the city of Edinburgh and I will definitely be back and will rebook Cheval Old Town Chambers without hesitation. 10/10

4 minutes walk to station. Great location opposite St Giles Cathedral on Royal Mile. Very welcoming helpful staff. Arrived at 8am and left luggage whilst we went to explore. Our room was ready early and they called us to say. Room was tastefully furnished. Even had a washing machine! Shampoo etc in large bottles instead of single use plastics. Our room was quiet and on 2nd floor with a beautiful view of the Cathedral and Royal Mile. Absolutely would go back!

This hotel is delightful! Much to our dismay we missed our first night because of a nightmare situation in Dublin airport but we made it for our 2nd night. Staff (particularly Vanessa) were so helpful, the apartment was comfortable and spotless, the hotel is in the perfect location and the breakfast was delicious! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed an enjoyable 4 night stay. Close to all the trips we had planned.||A little noisy from being on the Royal Mile but our room was situated on the front of the hotel. I imagine other rooms would be quieter. ||Excellent price via secret escapes

We loved every second of our stay there! Location is truly a prime one, super close to all the main attractions, amazing food, coffee, bakeries and all the transportation!!! I loved the beautiful parks near by and all the architecture. The room was very cute and homey, made us feel home away from home. Fantastic option for families with kids, they have 1 bedroom apartments and you can have privacy as a couple! We loved using kitchen area, when we felt like cooking, since we stayed for a while and it was a welcome break from eating out all the time. But if you are into it, there are so many incredible restaurants and cafes nearby! Again 5 minute walk to Edingburgh castle, National Gallery, National Museum of Scotland, Museum of Illusion, multiple cathedrals and so much more. Highly recommended!
