Hotel du Vin Edinburgh

Stayed there in early April The room service and ammenties were awesome! So close to Edinburgh sites! Walking distance to amazing sites! Best capachino in Cigar Bothy! Staff was amazing 😇😇😇

Absolutely fabulous hotel. We stayed there for a few days to celebrate my wife's birthday. Great service, lovely people, very central and I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants an enjoyable stay in Edinburgh.

A stylish setting with good food, but the extras add up I've strolled past Hotel du Vin countless times without giving it much thought, so when the opportunity arose to try their early evening prix fixe menu, I was keen to give it a try. The offer is two courses for £24.95 or 3 courses for £29.95, with the option to add a 175ml glass of house wine or a bottle of beer for £3.50, which sounds good on the face of it. For starters, I chose the pâté de campagne with cornichons and toasted sourdough. It arrived as a thick, generous slice with tangy pickles and French mustard which perfectly complimented it and was delicious. For the main course, I opted for the corn-fed chicken breast with wild mushrooms, burnt leeks and chicken velouté. We were all slightly taken aback to find that no sides are included with the main courses, so we decided to share side dishes of buttered new potatoes which is more than enough for two. The chicken was lovely with crispy skin and paired well with the velouté and leeks. Others chose the sea bass and said it was nice, although the portion was noted as being somewhat on the small side. I thought that might be the case for a main course with only 233 calories stated on the menu. I had a carafe of house wine (£18.95), which was perfectly drinkable and paired well with the meal. We skipped desserts, but both starters and mains were very good and the service was impeccable. However, once you factor in sides and the 12.5% discretionary service charge, the “value” of the set menu starts to feel less compelling. My bill came to £52, which is worth bearing in mind if you’re drawn in by the headline price. That said, both the food and service were very good and I would happily return. There's also a lovely courtyard outside that's ideal for summer drinks. We adjourned afterwards to the upstairs mezzanine hotel bar, which you would never know about without asking the staff for directions. It's open to all and I loved it. With Chesterfield leather sofas, tartan cushions, a chandelier made with wine glasses as a centre piece and table service, it's perfect and cosy for a date night or if you just need a quiet spot to do a bit of work while you're out and about instead of having to settle for a coffee shop. You can expect to pay £7 a pint and £9.95 for a 250ml glass of house wine - not cheap, but it's a 4* hotel and you get what you pay for. Finally, it's worth noting the bar is cashless and card only, although the restaurant takes card and cash. Highly recommended.

This place is a fabulous boutique hotel. It is very deceiving from the outside. The outside presents as small. Once inside the arch you are meet with a comfortable courtyard. Inside the old stone hotel is a hugh winding 4 story space. It has many rooms. We had a junior suite. It was well laid out and decorated and a good amount of space. The entire hotel has a lot of small social spaces that are very well decorated with lots of seating areas and a few with fireplaces. It is very relaxing and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location can't be beat. It is just 5 minutes from everything on the college side of town. With the college being all around there are many lower priced casual food eateries with more of a local vibe. The restaurant here is top my notch. The food selections are plentiful if you are really hungry or just want a light snack. The included breakfast is spectacular. The food presentation is picturesque. It has a well stocked small but comfortable full bar. It is a French style bistro so the wine selection is first rate. This would definitely be my first choice when returning to Edinburgh.

Had a lovely afternoon tea lots of lovely things to eat ,great surroundings and company

Great spot for us to visit St Andrews. Very nice rooms with excellent showers /bathroom (my wife loved the shampoos). Easily walkable to all the sites and the beach. Good breakfast as well.
