Family of six from Canada, first time in Scotland. Amazing stay in the heart of Edinburgh! The hotel/apartment was first class in every way. It was charming, felt historical and yet completely modern amenities. So much space for our family of six adults. The staff was so helpful. They do absolutely everything right. Located right on the Royal Mile, The Cheval Old Town Chambers was so close to everything. Walked all over the city to eat, shop and visit the must-see Edinburgh sites. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you for a perfect stay!
