Situated around 5 minutes' walk from the combined National Museum of Scotland, the 4-star Hotel Du Vin Edinburgh provides guests with 24-hour reception and wake-up service. Located a stone's throw from The Meadows, the hotel features a safe deposit box and 24-hour security service.

Location

This Edinburgh hotel in the Grengel district of Edinburgh is merely 1.7 km from the 16th-century Palace of Holyroodhouse and 550 m from such shopping venues as the Grassmarket. The landscaped Princes Street Gardens is only 9 minutes' walk away, while the volcanic Castle Rock is fairly close to the Du Vin Edinburgh.

Guests will also enjoy proximity to Castle Rock, which is 0.7 km away. Explore the historical sights of Edinburgh, starting with the historic fortress "Edinburgh Castle" situated 800 metres away.

Glasgow airport is 90 km from Hotel Du Vin Edinburgh and Edinburgh Waverley train station is about a 10-minute stroll away.

Rooms

There are 43 rooms equipped with an iron and ironing board, and climate control along with modern facilities including a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. They are furnished with sound-proof windows, and also come with coffee/tea making machines. Guests have access to a separate toilet and a shower, as well as bathroom comforts such as hairdryers and bath sheets.

Eat & Drink

The restaurant Ting Thai Caravan is located just a few steps from the Du Vin.

“In my opinion, this is a particularly well-situated hotel to explore Edinburgh's iconic attractions, particularly the Royal Mile. The architectural design, set in a former asylum, brings a uniquely tailored atmosphere. The French bistro and extensive wine cellar make it a destination in itself.”

A Stay with Shortcomings

bathroom cleanliness overly soft bed
I found some issues . The bathroom cleanliness was unsatisfactory upon arrival. I reported this matter to the reception, specifically highlighting the area behind the bathtub. The following day, this issue was not addressed, and general tidiness throughout the room felt neglected. the bed was overly soft. This caused me considerable back pain.

the location was acceptable, just off the royal mile.
My room felt more like a broom closet than a beautiful accommodation. It lacked windows. it was quite depressing. breakfast options tasted like low-quality supermarket fare, especially considering the price.
