Hotel du Vin, Edinburgh
Expert reviews
“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.
“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.”
“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.”

Great decision after reading many many reviews
Everything! I just wish we could have stayed longer. We stayed in a junior suite with a tub in bump out windows overlooking the rooftops and street below. No issue with privacy. The bathroom with the shower was gorgeous. Great location. Glad I chose to be off the Royal Mile by maybe 1-2 blocks. Not far at all. Still felt like I was on the excitement of it all, but at the same time calmer, if that makes sense. If I go again, I’ll definitely stay here.
Can’t think of anything.

Lovely staff throughout the whole of the stay. Our room was amazing (I think we may have been double upgraded - so thank you!), and super clean. We loved the additional extra to celebrate my birthday. Those small things really add a special something to the trip.
The service was slow at the bar when we'd come back from the theatre, It was just one guy - and we didn't mind waiting, but for just one glass of wine we waited about 15 mins.

Very nearly perfect hotel experience.
Fantastic location. Hotel itself was superb. Really personal, beautifully furnished and decorated throughout. Just oozes quality the moment you walk into the small courtyard. Staff all really attentive and super friendly. Hospitality at its best. Something that large chains even 5 star high end chains rarely achieve.
We got upgraded to the Thierry Lombard suite. Wow. What a room and what a bed!! Emperor size I believe. It was all nearly perfect but for one thing. The shower is simply not strong enough. It’s a large rain shower that is barely capable of dripping water. I’m not exaggerating. Maybe there was a problem with water pressure during our stay but if not then something has to be done to improve the water pressure of the shower.

Perfect!
Staff was exceptionally helpful.
It was a bit difficult to get around the hotel. Rooms are not numbered, they have wine names. Charming but I got lost more than once.

In case it's not full, do book in advance and enjoy the stay.
The location, service and the warm people managing the hotel. The suite was worth.

A beautifully and luxuriously comfortable stay walking distance from the castle.
It was close to everything, the breakfast was great, the room was large and had everything I needed. The hotel and the room were gorgeous. I thoroughly enjoyed the tub after walking around in the cold drizzle of the day. I was able to come and go from the property to the castle a couple of times while I was there. Nice desk area to do a little work.
The lift didn't go all the way to my suite which sucked with my heavy luggage, but I need to pack less next time!

Birthday treat.
From the moment we checked in we were treated like old friends! Gorgeous, atmospheric hotel in a great location for exploring Edinburgh by foot! Our room was upgraded as we were celebrating my husbands birthday, champagne and chocolates waiting for us! We stayed on a dinner, bed and breakfast, the food was exceptional and staff throughout the hotel were warm and welcoming.
Only being able to stay one night! Our fault as that's all we booked! Will know better next time! Not being able to post more photos, I took lots!

Nice!
Location was great. Staff were friendly and the vibe was what you would expect from a nice hotel
Price, access issues to 3rd floor, had to find a workaround
