Room décor
Industrial chic - metal-framed warehouse windows and high ceilings. Polished wood floors and leather furniture in the public spaces contribute to a laid-back, lounge feel that won the hotel an interior design award in 2001.
Duck-down bedding and a combined TV/DVD player in every room - a selection of movies is available free at reception.
Food Modern Scottish cooking, heavy on blended flavours, is served in the restaurant, where you are seated in leather booths.
All beef is from local Aberdeen Angus herds, naturally, and the full Scottish breakfast (including haggis) is a treat, especially with the accompanying gratis Sunday papers.
There are snacks available, and a very generous happy hour for lethal cocktails in the bar.
Extra treats Complimentary water and chocolates in rooms. The Borough's emphasis is on service and the staff are immaculately friendly and accommodating.
Fellow guests We didn't see a single other person on the first floor, where the rooms are, but the bar seemed to be stuffed to the gills with a young, trendy and apparently unhurried crowd 24 hours a day.
Tariff From £70 per room, including breakfast. Borough, 72-80 Causewayside, Edinburgh EH9 1PY (www.edin-borough.co.uk tel: 0131 668 22 55).
