We‘ve never stayed in a better hotel. We loved it from the beginning: The really nice and helpful staff, the lovely room with all you need, the bar and the food (breakfast and dinner are delicious!) and also the nice neighborhood with all its cute little shops and cafés. Best was of course the hotel dog Angus, whom I really took into my heart. We enjoyed our time so much and will definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

This place is just brilliant! Run by the lovely Lydie, it’s packed full of thoughtful touches and details that made our stay super comfortable and enjoyable! The Bruntsfield area is wonderful - a short walk away from the green area of The Meadows. The area has loads of lovely local, artisan shops and great cafes and restaurants. All just a 20 min walk from Edinburgh Castle and other sights. Just perfect place!

    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.
