Very tired as not slept due to noise . I appreciate the beauty of an old building but the town is also very much busier than back in the day . So yes as the receptionist pointed out to me that double glazing is not an option in a patronising manor . Maybe a double glazed unit form the inside may have been an option or nice heavy curtains , shutters or the lay out of the room as they have put in a modern kitchen . Maybe the bathroom should have been a bedroom with a closing door . No air conditioning so guess this will be an issue in the summer but room 513 has left us very tried due to drafts and noise . I know the hotel cannot be accounted for the building works to the rear or screaming people . It really was like sleeping in the open . After a long day walking a nice warm bath would have been nice but the water must be set at a temperature so low that you were cold before you got in . Kitchen tap was an accident waiting to happen as so wobbly . Need to bring an eye mask for the gaps of light due to the ill fitting blind that should be replace by shutter and definitely being ear plugs . Love old building but really there are ways and means to avoid noise and drafts .…

Our apartment was extremely well appointed and had all the facilities that you could wish for. Front Desk were always very helpful and friendly. Always a good morning or a simple hello each day. The only issue we had was our apartment was that it overlooked the daily linen delivery. As the age and style of our building does not make secondary glazing an option we were woken up at 5am on our first morning. We did report this to Front Desk and it was quieter the following morning at 5 30am. We were already awake at this time, however it may be something that management should look at. We appeciate that it is challenging for all accommodation on the Royal Mile due to the location. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would return.

Old Town Chambers is directly opposite St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile and in an excellent area to explore the old part of Edinburgh, its castle, its old streets, etc. We did not have a car so cannot comment on parking which may be a problem in the area. The rooms are finished to a very high standard, very comfortable and with good facilities. We were offered a free upgrade to a one bedroom apartment with a view over the Royal Mile. It was very good, very clean and great bathroom and bedroom. Each room has self catering facilities as you would expect in an apartment, oven, fridge, coffee maker, kettle, dishes, pots etc. On the ground floor is a bar/restaurant which is very good. It is not owned by Cheval so no room service but it is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and drinks. Reception were very helpful and friendly. I plan to go back to use this place again and would strongly recommend it to others.…

The apartment was comfortable and well-equipped. The staff were all lovely. My only (very small) issue was that the pillows were a bit soft for my liking and there was a sock under the bed from a previous visitor and it was a bit dusty under the bed.

Clean modern comfortable hotel That is centrally located in Edinburgh. Staff was welcoming and helped us arrange taxi and other services. Worth noting that though it is very close to the train station - the shortest path is a steep and long staircase / several flights…so I’d recommend a taxi if you have a lot of luggage.

Stayed for only 1 night at Cheval Old Town Chambers. We were very sorry to leave. The property is immaculate from reception to accommodation. Stylish and contemporary. Front door is in the middle of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. So Central to all of the attractions. The Royal Mile can be extremely busy, yet the hotel feels like a calm oasis away fro the bustle and noise. Staff were extremely friendly, helpful and professional. Breakfast next door at Luckenbooths was delicious. This is our new "go to" pace when in Edinburgh.
