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.”

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.

The location was perfect for us. The room had character....especially enjoyed the clawfoot bathtub under the window! Lovely bathroom as well. The outside cigar area was comfortable and warm with a fireplace and heaters. Great place to unwind!

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.

Very good hotel , staff excellent , breakfast really good, room comfortable but as with most hotels now seem to lack man

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

Great location and fantastic value for premium b&b

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

Wonderful Boutique Hotel, but Restaurant Service Needs Leadership

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.

Phenomenal location!

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!

Beautiful hotel, great location with the friendliest staff

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 😂
