Birthday.
I booked the signature suite (Thierry Lombard) for my Wife’s birthday. It was fantastic. Loads of room and all the things you need for a stylish comfortable stay. The staff were great. We’ve stayed in Edinburgh many times and this is up with the best!

Fantastic stay at Hotel du Vin.
Excellent hotel! Fantastic staff, especially Chelsea, Jenny and Sam. Ben is the manager and he was great too! The hotel is in the perfect location. Close to everything but away from the noise. The rooms are beautiful and quaint and the bed, bedding and pillows were very comfortable. Can wait to come back! Thanks for the great stay!
