Hotel Du Vin Edinburgh

Location was fantastic.

Nothing

Hotel e camere molto curate. Ristorante di ottimo livello. Personale professionale, cortese e veloce ad eseguire le richieste del cliente.

L'unica pecca è stata la seguents: Nonostante avessi pagato in anticipo le cena presso il ristorante (comprensivo di 2 piatti principali del menù alla carta e di un contorno, bevande escluse) ogni sera mi è stato fatto pagare il "servizio" (circa 8 sterline al giorno), non una gran cifra, ma comunque andrebbe comunicato al momento della proposta della cena perchéun cliente si aspetta sia compreso nella cena.

I've strolled past Hotel du Vin countless times without giving it much thought, so when the opportunity arose to try their early evening prix fixe menu, I was keen to give it a try. The offer is two courses for £24.95 or 3 courses for £29.95, with the option to add a 175ml glass of house wine or a bottle of beer for £3.50, which sounds good on the face of it. For starters, I chose the pâté de campagne with cornichons and toasted sourdough. It arrived as a thick, generous slice with tangy pickles and French mustard which perfectly complimented it and was delicious. For the main course, I opted for the corn-fed chicken breast with wild mushrooms, burnt leeks and chicken velouté. We were all slightly taken aback to find that no sides are included with the main courses, so we decided to share side dishes of buttered new potatoes which is more than enough for two. The chicken was lovely with crispy skin and paired well with the velouté and leeks. Others chose the sea bass and said it was nice, although the portion was noted as being somewhat on the small side. I thought that might be the case for a main course with only 233 calories stated on the menu. I had a carafe of house wine (£18.95), which was perfectly drinkable and paired well with the meal. We skipped desserts, but both starters and mains were very good and the service was impeccable. However, once you factor in sides and the 12.5% discretionary service charge, the “value” of the set menu starts to feel less compelling. My bill came to £52, which is worth bearing in mind if you’re drawn in by the headline price. That said, both the food and service were very good and I would happily return. There's also a lovely courtyard outside that's ideal for summer drinks. We adjourned afterwards to the upstairs mezzanine hotel bar, which you would never know about without asking the staff for directions. It's open to all and I loved it. With Chesterfield leather sofas, tartan cushions, a chandelier made with wine glasses as a centre piece and table service, it's perfect and cosy for a date night or if you just need a quiet spot to do a bit of work while you're out and about instead of having to settle for a coffee shop. You can expect to pay £7 a pint and £9.95 for a 250ml glass of house wine - not cheap, but it's a 4* hotel and you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.

Mieliśmy Apartament typu Suite. -Przestronny klimatyczny pokój , dodatkowa wanna-retro , wygodne łóżko z pościelą z pierzem. Z racji braku wydzielonej łazienki - pokój przeznaczony dla par. -Bardzo duży plus dla bardzo sympatycznego personelu hotelu i restauracji. -Restauracja - śniadania a'la carte (dania ciepłe) + bufet z częścią zimną. Duży plus za możliwość personalizacji - kucharz na prośbę zrobił omlet którego nie było w karcie lub zmian w zamówieniu jak ktoś czegoś nie lubi z dań z karty. Jakość dań zarówno śniadaniowych i restauracyjnych (kolacja) bardzo dobra. -Znakomita lokalizacja , samo centrum Edynburga , do większości miejsć doszliśmy pieszo (do 1,5mili)

-Do niektórych dań restauracyjnych z pakietem kolacyjnym była wymagana dopłata (także za napoje) ,ale tragedii nie było - dopłata 40 funtów przy 4 nocach (2 osoby). Minus niewielki bo ostatecznie można to rozwiązać nie braniem kolacji w pakiecie i po prostu normalnym zakupem w restauracji. -Nienajlepsze wyciszenie pokoju (rozumiem - stary budynek) , ale też ciągle słyszalne dźwięki z jakichś rur/przewodów klimatyzatora lub kaloryferów?
