Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Du Vin Edinburgh is often praised for its excellent location, being just a minute away from the University of Edinburgh, with a bus station right outside. Guests frequently enjoy the spacious and well-appointed rooms, some even featuring a sitting area-perfect for enjoying a charcuterie. The breakfast is another highlight, though some guests have found the dinner menu in the Claret Bar a bit limited, wishing for more than just amuse-bouche or steak.
