Hotel du Vin Edinburgh is located perfectly. You are just steps from the bustling & engaging "Royal Mile" in old town, with the Edinburgh Castle at one end and Holyroodhouse at the other and fascinating and fun sites and shops all along the way. You are a short walk to the iconic Greyfriars Bobby and around the corner from Bow Street so that no matter where you are headed, you are in a central location. For more contemporary shops and activities, Princes Street is walkable or an easy Uber/taxi ride away. The hotel is charming, with large bathrooms, rain head showers, and nice rooms with good lighting and charging plugs. For a property so centrally located, it is very quiet and restful. The Bistro offers an excellent breakfast and varied dinner menu. Coffee options were seriously lacking in the rooms and would be appreciated although there was a nice selection of tea.
