You know how sometimes you go on holiday/ mini-break and you're so exhausted from travelling that you can't really bear leaving your hotel room once you reach your destination? Yeah? Well, Hotel Missoni makes it really really difficult to leave and actually explore Edinburgh.

Upon arrival at the hotel, you're greeted by a lovely doorman wearing a Missoni-designed kilt. The reception is designed with all the modern elements and touches - from the funky pendant lights to the hip bar. "Pssssh, yeah, yeah" I hear you say, "but what of the actual rooms?"

Sure, it's a bit pricey but honestly, you get what you pay for when it comes to the rooms. Each room has a nespresso coffee machine which, if you're like me and a totally obnoxious coffee snob, is a welcome change from the usual instant coffee that the British seem to accept quite casually; no offence, I love you guys!

The beds and sheets are lush; the showers are great and of course, the rooms are clean.

I splashed out and opted to get the breakfast the following morning and it was, in a word, intense. I'm a total greedy guts so it was hard to maintain my dignity with the open buffet-style breakfast the hotel had laid out. Yogurt, fruit, croissants and other goodies were all on offer and it was so hard to restrain myself.

Hotel Missoni, you complete me!

5* , y'all!
