Loved staying at Abbey Strand! Very historic building but with all modern conveniences. Quiet part of Royal Mile away from noise & traffic but easy walk to anywhere. No air conditioning but temps are generally cooler. Definitely recommend a stay when in Edinburgh.

Stunning.

This apartment was beautiful, location superb. The decoration of a very high standard like a luxury hotel. The 2 bedrooms and bathrooms absolutely stunning! We loved this beautiful apartment and wished it had not been a flying visit! The cleanliness is immaculate and the overall feel is very warm and inviting! We will return one day’ if you want a location with views and just off the Royal Mile this is wonderfully place! Beautiful, highly recommended

Location was absolutely incredible. Very comfortable and clean. Everymorning woke up overlooking Holyrood House. Stunning. Only problem was the 3 flights if spiral staircase that's one had to maneuver up and eventually down with larger suitcases. We were traveling for 15 days. Beyond that wonderful

Great location and space in Edinburgh

The location was incredible. Right next to Hollyrood and perfect for a few days in Edinburgh. Well decorated and appointed. The in house laundry a dream. And the gardens out back (chef’s kiss). The only downside was the sliding bathroom door that didn’t want to stay it’s tracks

Really lovely apartment with great views, in a beautifully-restored historic building. Also, convenient for sightseeing BUT (1) the only access to the apartments was by a narrow, spiral staircase. I understand that it's an old building so not possible to install an elevator, but there should be a very clear warning on the website that this accommodation is NOT disabled-friendly. (2) The apartment was cleaned only once in our 4 day stay. (3) There was never anyone at the Reception. Instead I had to contact another branch of Cheval Apartments in Edinburgh to get assistance.

Not great.

We never got a code to go in. We called the number and it took them 20 minutes to find a code that works. There was no air conditioning. The pull out couch didn’t fit in the room when opened. The hair dryer didn’t work well and the toilet kept running. I called to speaks to a manager but they never called me back.

We thought the room was really amazing and in just about the best location you could imagine. We had a lot of trouble with instructions such as we received a map for parking and the map had nothing to do with where parking actually would be. We were told there was a common room where we could do laundry, but we never discovered where that common room might be so there were definitely some communications issues With a mysterious person who we would communicate with via messages . We ended up parking very expensively in one place the day we rented a car. We never got the laundry done.

Very Nice But We Stayed on the Wrong Night

The property was so beautiful, both inside and in the surrounding gardens, landscape and nearby buildings. The location was fantastic. The washer / dryer was a welcome amenity. The only issue I had was when some unruly (possible?) guests were unable to get the single front door to work at about 4:30 in the morning and woke us up with their screaming and excessive and aggressive pounding on the door. A call to the hotel help line did not resolve the issue, as someone was sent to the property, and was unable to open the door from the outside. When we called back to the hotel, we were asked to open the door. This was very disruptive to our ability to sleep, as we were already tired from travelling multiple time zones. We received no acknowledgement or even thanks from the hotel for helping out with a situation that was not of our doing, in the middle of the night. I expected more from a property of this caliber.
