Hotel du Vin, Edinburgh

The location the restaurant and the facilities were all great

Was a bit pricey but that could have been time of year

Staff attitude and helpfulnesswas exceptional. A interesting building in a very good location-- close to restaurants and within walking distance to the Royal Mile and other attractions. The room was comfortable, and we enjoyed a nice dinner at the restaurant. There is a courtyard/patio area that is a pleasant place to sit in the evening with a glass of wine.

The breakfast buffet was overpriced (19 GB pounds, and 25 GB pounds with inclusion of hot made to order items). The buffet items lean too much towards "sweet" everything-- even the fruit cups tasted sweetened (no fresh cut fruit selection). There was bread for toast. I did not see any plain yoghurt-- the granola yoghurt (?) cups were too sweet. The cheese and meat charcuterie that was listed on the buffet menu were no where to be seen. I asked -- and was told that it was available on request. Not knowing what was available and not wanting a lot of stuff I was not going to use, I asked for a couple of slices of cheese (I really would rather see and pick what I want). The waitress brought out a large plate covered in cheese slices (of which I ate two). The buffet should have everything included out and available so one can select what they want. It needs work and more variety, especially for the price. For a hotel with a wine oriented name and bistro, I thought there would be a larger wine list and more variety by the glass. I would like to have seen more offerings of English wines, which I was curious about and wanted to find and taste. There were two on the wine list. One was a sparkling wine which was available by the glass. It was very good! I always seek out local wines when I travel and I would have enjoyed having the opportunity to taste more wines from Great Britain.

Location and staff

Nothing

The hotel is very close to all the main sites but far enough away to leave the crowds behind at the end of the day. The staff were kind and helpful. I loved how quiet and cozy my room was.

I can’t think of anything that disappointed.

Central location, good looking facilities, clean, helpful staff, good food

Expensive (was offered later much cheaper), chaotic room service arrangements

The receptionists were very helpful. The spaces to sit and relax were comfortable as was the room. The coffee in our room was high quality.

The door to our en suite bathroom made it a bit of a squeeze to get in there when it was open.

Just beautiful

All was good

Clean, historical building, very close the attraction points..

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.

Location excellent Breakfast excellent

Lights in bathroom Mirror over sink in bathroom Strange wall angels- hit head- should have a pad or sign to alert

It was beautiful alll round. Was only there for night so didn't take full advantage of the hotel. Perfect location

Charming. Intimate. Good location, just outside old town and 10 minute walk to royal mile and castle. Great restaurant. Wonderful staff - especially Andrea and Chelsea at front desk were very helpful. Housekeeping also very accommodating.

Very friendly staff. Convenient with bistro at hotel. Nice breakfast. Very comfortable room and very nice bed!

Unique Across from the Hop On . Great staff. Interesting history of the building.

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.

Too few outlets for charging in the room. 3 cell phones, 2 computers. Only 1 outlet by a king bed - below standard.

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.

Great location and super nice staff

Good choice.

The hot chocolate was terrible!

The location, room and staff were all great!

Nothing I can think of!

Beautiful and inviting. The location is perfect for walking to the Old and New Town sites. Would highly recommend this hotel, the staff were very helpful, too!

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

Lovely hotel, convenient to main tourist sites, helpful staff. We asked for a quiet room and they gave us a large super quiet room with beautiful sloped ceilings.

The staff seemed to disappear around 8 PM

It’s is beautiful, comfortable & unique. The staff are welcoming and attentive, it’s just divine.

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.

location was good and surprisingly quiet cooked breaffast freshly made

lack of choice continental breakfast room was a bit small

Everything except for the price

Ditto

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.

Staff was exceptional..very warm, friendly and helpful.

It was very clean with a comfortable bed and spacious room.

The shower was a bit messy when turning it in and off

Wonderful location with a great ambience, staff are all committed to providing great service and have a great work ethic

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!

Nothing

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.

Very cozy and comfortable convenient to central Edinburgh

Doors slamming just one night. Thursday

Spotless clean ,

No parking nearby

Beautiful hotel. Great restaurant

Loved it all

Great rooms and comfortable beds

Price

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.

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

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

Excellent location.

A bit loud outside the hotel

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.

Great staff who went above and beyond service. I was walked to my room. Everyone was pleasant and wanted to help. Food was excellent. The location is super convenient.

Nothing

Love the new rooms - so comfortable. Great location.

Great location in heart of Edinburgh. Staff was wonderful and found a wallet we left in safe and sent back to US for us.

Great breakfast and restaurant.

the quality of croissants at the breakfast! They used to be better!

Location Next to bus stop Staff Room size

Nothing really

Very good location for tourists. Most places are just walking distance from here, including tour boarding points and hop on hop off stops

Nothing in particular.
