The host, Lydie, is a delightful, warm, and welcoming person who made me feel right at home in her lovely place. My room was perfect, with a very comfortable bed, and a view over the city. I ordered breakfast, which came with excellent coffee, croissants, jam, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cheese and biscuits; a substantial morning repast delivered to my room. Lydie had suggestions for restaurants, getting around Edinburgh, etc. All great! Highly recommend and will return when next in Edinburgh!

    The interior designer/decorator of this gorgeous hotel is brilliant. The lush textures, the thoughtful touches, rich colors and color palettes, the coziness, quiet luxury and beauty of each room and area was just perfection. You wanted to just melt into a velvet chair or take tea next to the huge windows overlooking the city or read a book on a plush sofa in some cozy corner. Beautiful.
