The courtyard area is lovely. However they play canned music out there much of the day, so if your room faces the courtyard, as ours did, then you can hear it. I did not notice any soundproofing inside the hotel either (ie, hallway noise and noise from the floor above). The restaurant is lovely, great breakfast and nice bar upstairs. Outstanding location!

After staying for a night in the Hotel du Vin Glasgow, which was extremely poor, it was totally refreshing to arrive in the Hotel Du Vin Edinburgh, and have a wonderful stay - everything you would expect from this brand of small luxury hotel - clean, quiet, luxurious, wonderful staff - highly recommend

We absolutely loved our stay here. The room we were given was in an older wing of the hotel, which worried us. There was no direct elevator access, and it was a bit of a labyrinth to find the right staircase. But we were SO pleased with the room itself. Even lovelier than the photos. We only stayed one night, but we wish it could've been longer!

Staff need more training concerning their general information on restaurants, sites, go to places... Afterall, it's an hotel so customers might ask them such questions.

Convenient location allowed us to walk to all the attractions, shops, and endless dining options. The staff was friendly, the bartender was a super hard worker and great at his job, and the rooms were clean. The hotel locks the gate at night so you have to use your key to get in, which is a nice feature for safety. If you are a light sleeper, it might be too noisy for you. Not from inside, but the people outside late at night (our room was facing the street). I found it entertaining and added to the experience, but not the best location for a good night’s sleep. No complaints about the hotel itself though!

The staff were excellent, helpful and very friendly; however unfortunately there were renovation works going on above our room which were started, at times before 8am, until late in the day, which we had not been advised of. We did highlight this to the duty manager but seemingly no action was taken to address the start time of the work.

Second stay at this hotel and would highly recommend. Only thing I would mention, is name of room instead of numbers, did cause some confusion with ourselves and other guests. Did not spoil anything to do with our stay though. If anything, got people talking in the bars
