Wonderful location w/ excellent front desk
Pros:

Great location! Very quiet because the hotel is a bit set back and there’s a private courtyard that rooms overlook. Front desk was exceptionally helpful.

Cons:

The bathrooms need hooks around the sink for towels, but other than that minor adjustment it was lovely! I would wish they would offer morning coffee in the lobby, which is so much better than coffee in the room.

Fantastic
Pros:

Fantastic stay, the gentleman who processed our check in was extremely kind and helpful throughout the entirety of our stay.
They also allowed us to drop our luggage off whilst we finished our exploration of the city after our checkout.
Fantastic central Edinburgh location.
Will definitely be returning next time we are in Edinburgh.

Great location and looking hotel. Some small issues
Pros:

The room was really nice. Location excellent. Appearance excellent.

Cons:

Stayed 2 nights with young children in suite. Offered clean on second day - said yes - I thought this was standard - not carried out and so ran out of towels coffee etc.

Told that opening sofa on sofa bed would normally cost £60 but it wasn’t this time

Breakfast too expensive

Awesome hotel and experience
Pros:

We had a wonderful time in Edinburgh and at Hotel du Vin. The staff were very kind and friendly. The facilities and location were excellent, and the breakfast was delicious. We would especially like to thank our receptionist, Albert, who took great care of us during our stay and gave us many great recommendations for the city. We will definitely recommend this hotel!
