Our stay at Cheval The Edinburgh Grand exceeded all expectations. Nestled on St Andrew Square in Edinburgh’s elegant New Town, it’s just a three-minute walk from Waverley Station and within easy strolling distance of Princes Street, George Street, and countless dining and shopping options . Housed in a beautifully restored bank, the luxury apartments feature fully equipped kitchens, premium bedding, and modern comforts, while on-site amenities—like the fitness centre, bar/lounge, daily breakfast at The Register Club, 24-hour front desk, and complimentary Wi-Fi—add an extra layer of convenience and style . Most memorable of all was the genuinely warm hospitality: every team member went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, always with a friendly smile and prompt assistance . We can’t wait to return for another exceptional experience.

I booked this hotel well in advance and provided my contact details — yet no one informed me of ongoing renovation work. Upon arrival, we were guided through an inconvenient and frankly unacceptable route to our room: a standard elevator to the second floor, a walk down a hallway, then a service elevator back down to the first floor. I was traveling with my 67-year-old father. Despite being told guests shouldn’t use the service elevator, it was our only option — shared constantly with contractors and staff, often smelling unpleasant. At a five-star hotel, guest experience should be the priority. Here, we waited through multiple elevator rounds as staff used them freely, even with trolleys. On our last day, one elevator was broken — yet staff still moved carts, further limiting access for guests. I raised concerns immediately — no follow-up. Only after posting a public review did the hotel respond, offering a room move (on our final night) and later a small refund. Too little, too late. This stay fell far below five-star standards. Communication, courtesy, and common sense were all lacking. The overall message was clear: guest comfort was secondary to logistics. A disappointing experience I wouldn’t expect from any reputable hotel — let alone one with this rating.

We absolutely loved our stay at Cheval The Edinburgh Grand! I can’t recommend it enough. It was a beautiful space with lovely and high quality furnishings. It felt modern and updated while still being classy, elegant, and fitting with the older architecture in the city. We had a great view of St. Andrew Square. The living and dining area was extremely spacious. Having a washer and dryer in the room was so convenient, and the small jug of milk in the fridge was an added touch, great with shortbread cookies! Fully stocked with kitchen utensils and tableware, detergent, soap, even a cookbook. We enjoyed breakfast and drinks at the upstairs lounge and dinner in the restaurant downstairs. The staff was kind, helpful, and very accommodating. The location was great if you don’t want to be right in the center of loud old town, but still walkable to all the sights. We will definitely be back the next time we visit Edinburgh!

Upon arriving to The Cheval, we were greeted by the hotel staff and notified that they were upgrading us to a Deluxe Suite! We were so delighted and the hotel was amazingly clean, comfortable and our suite was beautiful! We had everything including a washer/dryer in suite. I could go on and on about how wonderful our stay was in Edinburgh at the Cheval Grand. We will definitely miss the hospitality but will be back in the future!! 10/10 stars!!!

Located in old heritage building. A lot of charm but not a lot of comfort. The toilet in our room didn’t flush and the shower was weirdly cordoned off by only a shower curtain from the rest of the bathroom. I would most definitely not stay here again. There are so many better, modern options equally or better located that cost less.

This is a beautiful hotel to stay at and there was one front desk superstar - I believe her name was Abby (blonde hair) - that really made this a wonderful experience with her recommendations and friendliness. The hotel is in a great location near the train, bus lines, an upscale shopping strip, mall, good restaurants, Prince Street, and a Marks & Spencer grocery/department store. The walk to Royal Mile and all the activity in Old Town is less than 10minutes. We stayed in the one-bedroom loft which was lovely. The only thing is the staircase landing is less than 2ft from a window and there's a glass railing, so you must squeeze between the glass and the window to access the stairs. We were fine with it because we're short and petite, but not sure if, say, a taller, larger male would manage as well. There are other apartment-style rooms to choose from, though. I'd definitely stay here again.
