Wonderful, chic "designer hotel" right downtown in Edinburgh. I stay in many nice hotels but this is one of the nicest ones I've stayed in for years. Reminds me of the W hotels chain in design but slightly less "hip". Works for me.

Excellent, luxurious amenities (lush, black bathrobes, posh black slippers, good toiletries etc). Nice large shower, panoramic windows overlooking downtown streets. Not too noisy.

Super, free WiFi. Plenty of USB plug outlets for device charging in the room (I counted six USB ports in my room, huge thumbs up).

Great and surprisingly well priced in-room dining. Pixel perfect dishes were served promptly and hot.

Ok breakfast: nice hot dishes (1 hot dish of choice included for guests with complimentary breakfast). I tried two different egg based dishes on two different mornings and they were perfect. Cooked on demand, fast, tasty. Rather underwhelming breakfast buffet, but overall ok.

I'll be back!
