My family and I stayed here for four nights and the location can’t be beat! We had a two bedroom unit, which was spacious and clean. Bathrooms were well lit and clean. Beds were soft and comfy. Having a washer/dryer was very convenient. Our unit was next to an alley so occasionally there was noise from people passing through. Be aware that the hotel consists of two separate buildings. If you are in the back building (which we were) you will need to carry your suitcases up and down a short flight of stairs.

This is a beautiful hotel full of character. It is right on the Royal Mile, close to the castle & so many pubs & restaurants. Because this is an older building that’s been refurbished, and the part of the building our apartment was in, it was quite a walk with many stairs (there is one lift) & you could easily get lost. BUT, if you have your wits about you & good muscles to help you up & down the stairs, you’ll be fine. The apartment was beautiful, clean with all the amenities you’d hope for. I would definitely stay here again.

This property was just extra special, planning to come back to Scotland in 2027 and this will be where we book. The property is a little confusing but that is part of the charm. Everyone that we encountered was beyond friendly and helpful and just wonderful. We stayed in the room that has the little bed nook along with the king bedroom and was PERFECT for our family. The room was so spacious and the beds were beyond comfortable! The kitchenette was so nice although we only used for coffee. Lastly the restaurant was incredible and the food and coffees were perfect. We even went back on our last day for lunch even though we had already checked out because it was good.

Will always try to stay here when in town

One of our favorite stays during our trip. The room was so spacious and the bed was really comfortable. Our room was on the ground floor and overlooked a courtyard between two closes so I thought we’d get a lot of noise but we didn’t. We loved how close it was to everything, and the price was super reasonable. We paid to have breakfast included which was a good call because I thought the food was great.

Perfect for the first time tourist in Edinburgh! Unique property located in the heart of everything. Loved the location, staff, restaurant, bar. Certainly recommending Cheval Old Town Chambers for anyone who visits Edinburgh and wants to be in an elevated but not stuffy, safe, clean, centrally located hotel.

This property is in between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace along the Royal Mile. It is steeped in history and has the most amazing pubs and restaurants in and around the multiple levels of narrow walkways , stairs, and winding streets. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

This hotel is chic, elegant, warm and cozy - the perfect place to come home to after a day of walking. And walk you will because the location, steps away from Edinburgh Castle on the Royal Mile, cannot be beat. Our room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable and having our own kitchenette allowed us to take our time in the mornings. Cannot recommend this gem enough.
