Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“This boutique hotel in the city center is just a few minutes’ walk from nearly every tourist site. Each room has a custom-made sleigh bed and a hand-sprung mattress, but the hotel’s best feature might be the ultra-cozy, tartan-carpeted whiskey “snug,” a cozy room, all too tempting on a gray Scottish day.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Edinburgh.

Fodors review:

“Leave it to one of the U.K.’s most forward-thinking chains to convert a Victorian-era asylum into this understated luxury property that feels steeped in history and lore despite its contemporary decor and trappings, like the fairy-lit archway you enter through.”

Telegraph review:

“This hotel has all the hallmarks that make the Hotel du Vin brand so popular, with a big emphasis on wine and bistro dining, while still giving a sense of place with touches of tartan and exposed brick. The railway station, major tourist attractions and festival venues are all within convenient reach.”

Beautiful, comfortable hotel with a great location

We loved the hotel and the location! The little bar is cozy. We found the rooms to be very comfortable. The location was perfect - only a few minutes from the Royal Mile, but just far enough to be away from the center of the chaos!

The hotel felt extraordinarily expensive, but that may be a circumstance of timing. We did visit during the busiest travel month.

It was expensive but a worthy stay.

Excellent bicycle storage in a small garage; we had a junior suite on the top floor so tub was great (although hot water ran out if we didn’t watch it), very good breakfast and the bistro dinner we had was very good. Good service all round. Really like the location across from the Univ. of Edinburgh which was a bit out of the fray of touristy Edinburgh.

Our suite was at the top of the building and the lift only goes part way- when we arrived the manager took our gear up (very nice) but we had to lug it down on checking out.

Breakfast good, located excellent

We felt the extra charges ie service charges were not made clear. Even passing a whisky from bar to our table incurred a service charge. We were presented with an a4 page of charges, service charges. Plus an extra item on our bill for somebody else's breakfast item. We emailed you and to date you've not had the decency to reply Even.

Magical hotel in magical Edinburgh

Du vin is located in the center of old town easily walkable to all attractions. The staff were amazing and super helpful. The star of the show was the breakfast every morning. It was a great window into Edinburgh and I highly recommend staying there.

We were traveling with our 10 year old son and There was no enclosure to the bath area which was fully in view. It’s not suitable for families but other than this minor inconvenience everything was perfect

Fantastic.

It's a beautiful hotel and the staff were warm and helpful. The breakfasts (included with the room) are fantastic, huge and tasty, enough to set you up all day. They comped me into a junior suite, possibly the nicest hotel room I've ever had.Just a note: some of the loveliest rooms are not accessible by elevator, so not appropriate for people with limited mobility. I loved my stay here.

Fabulous stay & visit to Edinburgh

The hotel has a lovely ambiance & all the staff were so welcoming. The rooms were exceptionally clean & we had a lovely view over the internal courtyard. Breakfasts were delightful & the dining area, a relaxed place to start your day. We booked a table for an evening meal on the day of our arrival. Both the food & service were excellent. The hotel was in a fabulous location to be able to walk to most of the local attractions, restaurants & bars. Would definitely stay again & recommend to others.

We would struggle to find fault with either the property or the service we received. We travelled by car & there was no designated parking outside the hotel. We did pull up at the entrance & offloaded our luggage before parking the car on the nearby Q Park.

Absolutely incredible… would 100% stay again

The staff was incredible! Everyone! From the front desk, bartender, waiters… everyone. They made it possible for me to check in 4 hours early after 24 hours of traveling. The bed was so incredibly comfortable. The room was beautiful. The water pressure and temperature was amazing after long cold days of walking. Absolutely obsessed!the food and drinks was all delicious!

A perfect location smack down in the middle of old town

Apart from the location which is smack down in the middle of old town and makes everything easy to walk by foot, the hotel is self is an old sanitarium, made up the date in a perfect classic English style, where every room is named after a winery and has all you need. I liked very much that it is not noisy by night.

To be honest: nothing I did not like.

Lovely

We had a suite and it was exceptionally comfortable and beautiful. The bathroom was a chefs kiss on a perfect room. It was a great location, a stones throw from the national museum and a short walk to everything else. The restaurant was good for dinner, ask for bread and butter because it was first rate. The cigar bothy in the courtyard was an amazing touch for smokers.

The breakfast was good, but it was overpriced.

Four nights in Edinburgh

Location, hotel style/architecture, and breakfast (though a bit expensive)

Although we informed recepton and restaurant staff on checking in day that we need a take away breakfast on third day for a day trip, they did not prepare it due to internal miscommunication. However, they apologized for this incidence and refunded us breakfast price for that day. Room cleaning service needs improvement, also they did not refill our shower gel when it was finished. We tried dinner in the Bistro one night, food was average, however ambiance and service were good

Excellent food, wine and atmosphere and the room was nicely decorated and comfortable bed with double shower and sunken

This hotel had a cool wine vibe with the rooms being themed/named after famous wine labels. A lot of the decor was made by wine team. For instance, the chandelier was made out of 100 wine glasses. I had this great outdoor space that was for a cigar and wine room and then an indoor space that was showcasing local art very cool vibe.

Nothing really. It was a short one night stay. Wish we had eaten at the restaurant and had more time to enjoy the entire property.
