I liked the hotel a lot. It was a cool space that was very welcoming . The staff were exceptional nice and helpful. Our room was a suite and it was lovely. The breakfast in the morning was excellent. We ate dinner in the dining room two nights of our stay and that was lovely. The food was good and the staff excellent. They were very busy one night and our order took a little longer and they complimented us a discount. That was very nice . Not necessary ,for it was only a little longer, but very nice.

There was nothing I did not like

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.

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!

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

The location was lovely old town vibe combined with a tastefully decorated rustic style. Staff were attentive and helpful without being intrusive . My mum had booked this as an engagement gift. the hotel went out of their way to make sure we felt our celebration was special. On arrival we were welcomed with a lovely selection of delicious cakes and a congratulatory message along with them. We were given complimentary drinks vouchers, dressing gowns and slippers, just added to our lovely stay. The rooms were spacious and immaculate . The stay was comfortable and relaxing. We would come back in a second and definitely recommend to anyone.

Friendly Reception staff, especially 'Abs' and the Brazilian lady who were always cheerful and helpful. Excellent bed and bed linen. Well cooked and presented breakfasts and dinner. Good bedside lights and phone charging sockets. It was easy to turn the heating off, open the window and work the TV. Plenty of comfy leather sofas and places to sit and relax with a whisky from the bar upstairs.

Tiny cartons of UHT milk on the tea/coffee bag tray. I should have asked for a jug of real milk. It could be difficult for less agile people getting into the bath or shower area in the bath because of the glass shower screen and the very hot towel rail. So wrap a towel around the heated towel rail to avoid hurting your hand. Good hot water and pressure. Slightly fusty smell in my room 'Chateau de Rolleriae', maybe from the carpet.

Late arrival due to delayed flight, arrived at 1.30am the night porter welcomed us in and with out any fuss showed us to our super room (suite ) Restaurant… excellent food & service accompanied by fantastic staff, nothing was a problem, all served with a big smile. (Sam & Helen) Lounge and bar area’s very comfortable, soft lighting with excellent period sofa’s and arm chairs . Location is also perfect. Overall we had a fabulous three night stay, if we go back to Edinburgh again, we will most definitely stay at the Hotel du vin.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was good. The restaurant was pleasant to be in although very quiet. My room was comfortable and the housekeeping was spot on. It had a very low ceiling though so if you are very tall or a couple ask for a different room to The chateaux. Just round the corner from the Festival Theatre and museum both of which I visited.

The outlook from the restaurant and my room was graffiti and a bus stop. I acknowledge this is centre old town so maybe I should have expected it. The end of freshers week meant Saturday night outside was noisy until the small hours. Somewhat lacking in atmosphere due to low guests in the restaurant.

The hotel is within walking distance of everything central in Edinburgh, being very tastefully appointed, the room was lovely, clean and the staff were very attentive. Made for a really nice break between Christmas and New Year.

The breakfast is poor value for money, at that price point, would expect to be served coffee or tea at the table and probably toast as well, wouldn't normally expect to serve myself hot drinks and use a toaster at a hotel of this calibre. The standard of the hotel demands table service for breakfast in my humble opinion.

Breakfast the usual excellent HDV standard, lovely dining room. Bedroom lovely, bed superb, interesting city street view. Very helpful reception staff. Good location for strolling to interesting locations. Car park five minutes walk away but could drop off luggage before checking in. Appreciated discount on parking costs.

We do not understand the thinking behind having a bath in the bedroom, where I would not be a pretty sight fully exposed in the morning. But having the shower in the room, as here, just seemed weird.
