We had a private event here in the Library. The room is lovely and the staff were very helpful. Food was generally very good with a few misses. The process of booking was very efficient. They have a number of menu options for groups and were flexible between them, so we could pick favourite dishes etc. With the alcohol served as part of the package, the pricing wasn’t outrageous. They are very strict on intolerances so if guests write allergies in the booking system there’s no going back! But this is a sensibly cautious approach. I’d use them again, lovely communal areas, very central, very helpful staff from start to finish. Helped to create a very special celebration.

Delicious plant-based taster menu with wine flight, enjoyed at a window seat table in the Hotel du Vin bistro. Served by Caine, who was an exemplary waiter. The wine was well chosen and the stand out dish was the mushroom starter. Linen table cloths and luxurious toiletries in the bathroom were nice touches.

Me, my cousin, his wife and their son went for food and drinks at Hotel Du Vin. The restaurant was full as it was right in the middle of Sunday lunch service, and we hadn't made a booking. But.....all the staff were super accommodating, especially Poppy, who took us all downstairs to the bar area for a drink until there was a free table in the bistro. She made a huge fuss of my nephew, little Marlowe and made us feel super welcome! Really friendly place to go and eat some grat food!

Went for dinner at browns and finished at hotel de vin for drinks. So glad we did!! From walking in, Mohamed the barman was absolutely fantastic! He helped us choose the best drinks and seated us in a private booth. He kept the drinks flowing and was the perfect host! Will definitely be back! Thank you Mohamed!

I had a wonderful afternoon tea at Bistro du Vin yesterday. The food was exceptional, with a beautifully balanced selection of savoury bites and sweet treats, complemented by chilled fizz and a choice of hot drinks. The staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive throughout. I honestly couldn’t recommend it more highly

We’d heard good things about this place so we were excited. However the experience blew us away, especially the bar ! Poppy, the lady behind the bar, was extremely friendly and hospitable. The cherry on top was when she recommended me, a Wine connoisseur, a bottle of the Altitudes Red, which now happens to be a personal favourite of mine. 10/10. Not only this but the layout was very cool and old fashioned.

We haven't visited the cellar bar for a number of years, having had our second date here in 2009 (it must have just opened!). We had some lovely drinks and nibbles. The cellar itself is lovely, with lots of small rooms and a cosy main area. The wine was excellent. The service (from a chap called Abraham), was friendly, attentive and charming. A special place for us, that remains special.

I like this hotel. It has a good location and the staff are accomodating. A few things to note, the building itself is a bit of a rabbit warren. It feels cramped and old? We found it very difficult navigating around with our pram and bags. There is a small lift, but to some of the rooms we were left to struggle up some stairs without help. They knew we had a baby; and a pram as they set up a cot for us in the room. So some pre thought about helping us up the stairs would have been appreciated if offered at reception. Despite the struggle to actually get into the room, I was pleased with it, the bed is big and comfortable. I enjoyed the bath and the water pressure is good. A nice selection of teas and coffee which is always appreciated. We will stay again I’m sure, but hopefully with a little help next time
