    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.

    Stylish, comfortable, well-equipped Boutique hotel in the perfect location on The Royal Mile surrounded by tourist attractions, cafés, restaurants, museums, bars and so accessible by train and bus. The bed was very comfy. Coffee machine, designer dishes, complementary brownies, iron & mini fridge were welcome extras as was free Continental breakfast in the bar/diner on the ground floor . The staff were very friendly and helpful.
