Michelin Guide "Boutique hotel featuring unique modern murals and dark wood, wine-themed bedrooms; located close to the Royal Mile."
Star Service "Located in a former asylum that was once the city's most feverish prison, this is one of those places that earns its respect from the dining function." Full review
Frommer's "This boutique chain revolving around, and reveling in, wine seems as inspired an idea today as it was when the first property opened in 1994." Full review
Oyster Upscale
"The Hotel du Vin& Bistro is an upscale boutique hotel occupying an 18th-century asylum in the center of Edinburgh, within walking distance of most the city's attractions." Full review
Fodor's "Leave it to one of the U.K.'s most forward-thinking chains to convert a Victorian-era asylum into this understated luxury property." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The bistro-centered Du Vin chain has built its hip reputation on bold remodelings of unlikely edifices." Full review

Rough Guide "A five-star hostel just off the Royal Mile, with 622 beds in twin rooms or dorms. Women-only rooms are available."
Afar Magazine "Hostels - the word alone is strong enough to awaken the worst feelings in the world." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A good example of a competitive new style of hostel accommodation: less relentlessly wholesome than a traditional rambler’s rest but not a party-animal pit." Full review
OysterBudget
"Part hostel, part residence hall, the budget Safestay Edinburgh is a young, casual property with a party atmosphere." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"A big (620 beds), bright, modern hostel that feels more like a hotel... A huge bar and a central location just off the Royal Mile make this a favourite place to stay for the young, party-mad crowd." Full review
