The room I was given was not the one I selected when making the reservation, very different from the pictures. I told reception many times but they said they couldn’t do anything, that Expedia blocked that room for my stay.

Best location in Edinburgh!

Best location in Edinburgh! Without doubt! You’re literally sitting in the heart of the Royal Mile! The entrance is right across the street from Giles Cathedral, and the hotel is sitting on top of Mary King’s Close! Another nice feature, is that the road in front of the entrance is for drop-off and pedestrians only, which makes dropping off luggage via car / taxi a breeze! Parking is a few blocks away, not a bad walk at all to drop the car. The spacious apartment-style rooms are amazing as well! The service was wonderful and the receptionists were super helpful, really cannot complain! 10/10

Ruined my birthday weekend!

We are extremely disappointed with this hotel/company! :( My boyfriend had booked me a weekend away to Edinburgh for my birthday as I've always wanted to go. My birthday also falls on Burns night, so we were super excited to experience that too! However, due to the horrific storms in Edinburgh, our flights were cancelled Friday night and we were unable to get to Scotland (we looked into trains etc but all were cancelled too). We booked this apartment with Hotels.com who I called straight away and explained the situation, they then called the company who own this apartment who point blank said no. The Hotels.com agent then asked to speak to the manager, who also gave a hard no. I feel extremely let down that I was offered absolutely nothing in return from this hotel, considering my birthday plans were all ruined and our flights had all been cancelled. I totally understand that cancellation policies are in place for a reason, but a humanly gesture of good will would have gone a long way considering the circumstances

Superb aparthotel , our room on third floor was fantastic , two bathrooms upstairs and downstairs and good kitchen diner , problem with TVs but didn’t go to Edinburgh to watch tv !! The breakfast was excellent , great staff throughout from a warm welcome when we arrived greeting us at the taxi and front desk and restaurant and the room was very clean on arrival and cleaned each day of our 3 night visit. The location is absolutely out of this world in the old town opposite StGiles Cathedral where our beloved Queen lay in rest , and the castle is 5 minute walk away Thank you Chevsl Team you were incredible and really made our visit unforgettable, we will come back I’m certain and our friends and family will receive my recommendation to stay with you

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.
