Hotel du Vin, Edinburgh

Good location and very clean and comfortable

Loved it! 😊

Location, staff , breakfast

Was a little noisy with our room facing the courtyard and noise from rooms above , but somewhat understandable due to age of building with old timber floors. Could be more in room amenities rather than those bottles used for soap etc

The room was fantastic, staff were brilliant. Really enjoyed breakfast and the location was perfect for us.

Nothing, felt faultless.

We absolutely loved it! Great experience - perfect place in old town, very comfortable beds and a nice room.

Ribeye peppercorn dinner was fabulous. Staff very attentive and amenable

Hotel du Vin had an overall old school charm that I loved, it felt like they renovated into the original space. The staff was over the top friendly and helpful. The menus were exceptional!

Welcoming staff. Great facilities. Comfortable room and plentiful breakfast.

Clean, comfortable

An amazing experience, beautiful hotel, every little detail was obviously olanned to perfection. Staff charling and the welcome from the two lovely dogs. Dream place surrounded by amazing nature.

Superb upgraded room and great value bed and breakfast rate. I particularly liked the common areas with sofas, fire etc - very cozy. Cooked breakfast was superb.

Our room looked out onto a busy road and therefore we couldn’t really open window for fresh air- otherwise all great

I loved my room, it was so cozy and the bed was so. Also really liked the breakfast, the staff at breakfast was so sweet and kind. I really like the location. It was a short walk to everything. I wanted to see in Old Town.

The only aspect that fell short during our stay was the restaurant. While the space itself is beautiful and cozy, it lacks consistent service and clear direction. It seems to be missing someone truly in charge — a guiding presence to ensure that the experience is as polished and attentive as the rest of the hotel. At times, service felt disorganized or inattentive, which detracts from what could easily be a standout dining experience. That said, everything else about the hotel was simply wonderful. The rooms were charming and comfortable, the atmosphere throughout the property was warm and inviting, and the staff in all other areas were exceptional. With just a bit more attention to the restaurant side, this boutique gem could be perfect.

Perfect location

Room was stuffy but had a balcony door, which was good

Clean rooms, close to local attractions

Due to the age of the building, sound does travel through the building into rooms. But not a major problem

Loved the location and it was a beautiful hotel. Maze style layout of rooms given odd names and no numbers. Made for some entertaining walks to find our room. Our room had a slanted ceiling that even was low for a short person like me. The window faced the street and it got hot at night, but people yelling below made it difficult to sleep with the windows open. The bartender handled all of the restaurant drink orders and the bar by himself! Not good when you are waiting for drinks. Felt sorry for him. The location was phenomenal and the outdoor seating was very pleasant. Definitely worth coming back, I think!

The room was lovely - bed huge and comfy. Staff were fantastic.

Room could get very warm but figured out the thermometer - might be good to have instructions somewhere! Also - very 1st world problem, but the coffee spoons are too short for the cups provided 😂

Gorgeous hotel with beautiful bedroom ( I stayed in a suite and it was perfect Had an evening meal there which was fabulous and a breakfast equally fabulous if not a little expensive at £24 if you only want full English, coffee and nothing else Staff were very attentive and friendly

Lovely room, clean, spacious and very nice decor

Lovely room with very comfortable bed and nice bathroom, friendly staff, nice bar area, excellent breakfast

Location and personality of the structure

Room was tiny , about right . Bathroom definitively small

Breakfast was excellent location was good too

Nothing

All exceeded expectation.

Very disappointing Bathroom with age deterioration and practicality.

An absolutely wonderful stay. Everyone was so friendly and so helpful. Dinner in the restaurant was really good and breakfast was everything you’d expect. The room was clean, tidy and beautifully made up. I adore the bathrooms at Hotel du Vin.

Great location near the historical part but still walking distance to New Town but quite a steep climb

Nothing really

This hotel was a real treat and would definitely go back. Fantastic location. Outstanding facilities. Just a really wonderful place to stay. Staff friendly, helpful, hard working.

We love this hotel, the location is fantastic, and the staff incredible helpful and friendly. It feels very luxurious.

I travelled alone this time and therfore went for a basic double room, the bedroom was lovely, but the bathroom a little tired

Excellent location and all staff were so lovely and friendly. Also a big shout out to Roy in the bar

Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location. Lovely decor, and super room

The breakfast was amazing, lovely country spread. The decor was amazing. The bar was special.

Absolutely nothing. All great.

Friendly staff and lovely room.

Breakfast choice very good. Location to city centre good

All good

Beautiful

Nothing

Location great Receptionist helpfully showed me to my room & explained facilities Comfy bed with lovely linen Quiet restful bar All facilities

Reception a little space restricted Choice of handwash & toiletries - very personal but not my fragrance

Staff were very friendly and helpful, made us feel very welcome. Building is very quirky and old but very well presented, clean and comfortable. Lovely and peaceful stay.

Shower could have been a little hotter and heating system was very noisy, but we didn’t need it at night so switched it off.

Breakfast the usual excellent HDV standard, lovely dining room. Bedroom lovely, bed superb, interesting city street view. Very helpful reception staff. Good location for strolling to interesting locations. Car park five minutes walk away but could drop off luggage before checking in. Appreciated discount on parking costs.

We do not understand the thinking behind having a bath in the bedroom, where I would not be a pretty sight fully exposed in the morning. But having the shower in the room, as here, just seemed weird.

The location was very convenient. Once you get inside, the property is very nice with a sleek and clean interior. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were very clean.

Google Maps took us to the back entrance so we couldn’t get in but it looked very nice. Seeing the front entrance was disappointing with closed up buildings and graffiti. We also tried the restaurant. The service was very slow. They didn’t have Sauvignon Blanc and the waitress wasn’t sure they had any vodka. It was a disappointment.

Lovely old building with lots of character. We had one of the suites and it was great - lots of space, sofa, lovely bath and nice big shower. Extremely comfy bed with crisp bed linen. Nice teas, shampoos etc

Breakfast was mediocre and expensive.

The location was outstanding, just a short walk to the castle and main city attractions, a little further for the normal shopping etc. The building is lovely and well thought through.

This was an amazing trip beautiful hotel staff were so wonderful and kind ❤ from The youg girl andreeea and to bistro for dinner couldn't fault a single thing, will definitely be coming back .bill and Gill Davies xxx

Great location, lovely hotel and helpful staff. The restaurant was amazing, we ate both breakfast and evening meal - both were exceptional.

Late arrival due to delayed flight, arrived at 1.30am the night porter welcomed us in and with out any fuss showed us to our super room (suite ) Restaurant… excellent food & service accompanied by fantastic staff, nothing was a problem, all served with a big smile. (Sam & Helen) Lounge and bar area’s very comfortable, soft lighting with excellent period sofa’s and arm chairs . Location is also perfect. Overall we had a fabulous three night stay, if we go back to Edinburgh again, we will most definitely stay at the Hotel du vin.

We had the suite which was excellent. Clean, comfortable and huge! The breakfast was great, the evening meals delicious and the staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. A ten minute walk to the royal mile, the castle, fabulous independent coffee shops, the station and bus services made it a great location.

There wasn’t much not to like!

Location was perfect

I think we were over charged for breakfast on the first night. I think it was an error - I’m going to follow up with the hotel.

The cooked breakfast was absolutely spot on. I had avocado and poached eggs. Very friendly staff and cosy atmosphere to the hotel. Comfortable bed, lovely sheets.

Didn’t love the bath and shower being in the main room as we were two friends who didn’t wish to see each other shower. Also, separating the loo from the sink would have been preferable. Would have loved to have a mirror by the window to use the daylight since there was no window in the bathroom.

The beds were extremely comfortable and the room was spotless

Layout

Nothing

Wonderful location and friendly staff.

Beautiful rooms, amazing comfortable beds, staff were very accommodating. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Excellent location for exploring Edinburgh, lovely building with lots of character and a nice relaxing bar, comfortable room

I would have liked an armchair in the room, and the aircon/ plumbing was noisy
