Heart beat of Edinburgh. Perfect Walking distance to everything you want to see. We didn’t bring a vehicle but took the tram from the airport and it was very convenient. An earlier check in would have been helpful as the shared storage for temporary luggage was not ideal but this was only a minor inconvenience and check in was otherwise very prompt and seamless.

The Chevalier felt like being at a luxury home in the center of historic Edinburgh. The rooms were large and well kept and easily accommodated 5 Adults. I really appreciated the laundry facilities in our room and the views of New Town were absolutely stunning.
