Cheval Old Town Chambers is in a great location in the heart of the Royal Mile. Our apartment was spacious and very pretty with beautiful views of the city. The front desk was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here and hope to come back!

Loved it! Our room didn't have a washer/dryer, but the hotel offered to do the laundry if we needed it. Otherwise, the room was nice: comfortable bed, good sized bathroom. Not much storage for clothes if you like to unpack for longer stays. But the mini-kitchen was nice to have. The location is brilliant. Most of the tours we did (including a ghost tour and castle tour) meet right across the street at the St. Giles church. It's a very walkable location - near Princess St., Victoria St., the Grassmarket area etc... And the staff was wonderful, very helpful. The food at the restaurant, Lockenbooths was pretty good. Not the best - our breakfast was cold but dinner was good. It's convenient if nothing else. I would definitely stay here again.

VERY disappointed. Our two apartments were in a completely separate building. Never disclosed to us. Two guest over 70 years old had to walk outside in rain and wind and climb multiple interior and exterior steps just to go to breakfast or lobby. Staff refused to arrange airport transfer, Just gave us website of provider. Never experienced that before with a "quality" hotel. Did the same thing with restaurant reservations. Just a list of more than a dozen places. Had to push for help with a simple reservation. No housekeeping at all one day. Bad other days. One hand and bath towel for two people. No bath mat, tissue or other basics. Great location and quaint but layout is outright dangerous and service needs a lot of attention.

We enjoyed this day better than probably any we’ve ever had. We got one of the apartments in the back of the property, and it was phenomenal! It had a balcony overlooking the royal mile. It also had a full kitchen, washer dryer. Very easy to control the temperature with the Heater as well as the windows that opened. The bathroom was immaculate! I can’t say more about how amazing our week was!
