"The location was convenient to the train station, restaurants, and sights like the Edinburgh castle. It requires a climb to get up to the Royal Mile, however. We did not do breakfast there because we were told it was 30 pounds/person. From what I saw, it was a standard hotel breakfast but even if it were a cut above, that is too pricey, especially when there are lots of good coffee shops in the area. The lobby area is nice and they will check your baggage in a secure area if you arrive too...

Hotel du Vin & Bistro Edinburgh

"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!"

What is a historic hotel like in Edinburgh?
A historic hotel gives guests the opportunity to stay in a building recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of stately homes, palaces or even lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any building that’s been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Edinburgh often retain authentic characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture within the guestrooms or public spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
They are quite similar. “Historic hotel” is a term often used in the US, while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the architecture and building. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value and how it influenced the community.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay can expect the amenities you’d get from a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Edinburgh doesn’t mean you’re choosing a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
