Location is spectacular. This is definitely an experience type property. The rooms and decor are utterly unique , unlike anything you’ll find anywhere but the are not comfortable.

Kim, USA

Absolutly Loved our room Very Decadent, As a tourist location was perfect rigjt on the Royal Mile, The resturant is amazing definatly a must for a meal, The first Bar when you leave going down the mile has live entertainment after 21:00 with amazing Soup and cheese platters

Kirstin, South Africa

Loved the room - it was perfect for our honeymoon. Stayed in the Turret Suite. Champagne and cookies in the room each day. Parking at the sister hotel was also much easier than we expected - we got great service from Jacob at Prestonfield, and then the witchery ordered us a taxi back when we left. Dinner was also amazing - we just had the £40 set menu - but it was absolutely delicious.

Claire, United Kingdom

Amazing rooms, amazing staff, amazing restaurant and breakfast. If there were rooms available on other nignts would love to stay longer but very very expensive.

Sverre, Norway

The Witchery is absolutely packed with character, and in an incredible location (literally right beside Edinburgh Castle)! The suite was fantastic, the food gorgeous, and the staff were warm, welcoming - they couldn't have been more helpful.

Al, United Kingdom

The room was amazing. Opulent, gothic, glamorous, luxurious - like something out of a fairytale or Hammer horror movie set. The bath was enormous and really deep - big enough for two. I especially liked the free champagne, the eggs florentine and Blair the waiter. I can understand why the Witchery is known for being in the top 10 most romantic hotels in the world. I was there for a total of 45 hours and left the room only once for a 3 hour outing. It lived up to my high expectations and made my 50th birthday a memorable experience.

Nicki, United Kingdom

The staff were excellent and couldn't do enough to help. The food was good and the gothic atmosphere both in the suite and the restaurants, great fun. A great place to celebrate. The Witchery is in a great location.

Stay in the heart of Edinburgh –

The Witchery by the Castle offers a range of opulent suites in Edinburgh, each one unique with its own special features.

Lavishly furnished suites display gothic touches, with large oak beds and 4-posters, velvet-lined walls and flamboyant red and gold décor indicative of the style. There are separate seating areas and large bathrooms with free-standing silver baths.

Each of The Witchery’s 9 suites is different, but walk-in dressing rooms, love seats and tapestries set the tone. Some rooms overlook Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, looking down towards Princes Street, or across to the old town.

An indulgent breakfast hamper will be served in the room each morning or guests can choose to have a cooked breakfast served in the restaurant at no extra cost.

The Witchery’s seductive glamour has caught the attention of The Times, The Telegraph and Condé Nast Traveller, and many celebrity fans have enjoyed its suites. The impressive restaurant also showcases fine Scottish dishes in similarly decadent surroundings.

Old Town is a great choice for travellers interested in Old Town exploring, atmosphere and history.

There was no warning about the insanely steep stone stairs that were absolutely treacherous. I have a knee issue and had I been warned, I would never have booked this hotel. Also, we left after one night, even though we were booked in for two because something in the room made me very ill. The manager did not refund the second night, even though we left at 9a, well before check out. At nearly 500.00 USD a night forn2 rooms, this is unacceptable

Breakfast on the first day wasn't quite right - they forgot our bacon and the tattie scones werent cooked right - but they did say it was the chefs first day on breakfast.. Service at dinner was also a little poor.... but these are really minor gripes. We loved this place and would definitely come back.

The morning delivery of food is on stairs to suites, it’s odd to walk through. Made carrying bags downstairs a challenge, it but mostly I felt bad for staff.
The staff was wonderful and accommodating. The food was the best I had in Europe, my travels included Paris and London. The fish was feasher at Witchery. I really felt very well taken care of and can highlt recommend it. It’s worth every cent!

Only a couple of minor issues. No Sky/netflix/satellite TV. (although to be fair I didn't want to spend my time watching TV anyway). The cd player wouldn't play most of my cd''s, we got it swapped for another one, but again it was very temperamental. I was disappointed that I couldn't play my favourite music. The price was astronomical!
The room was amazing. Opulent, gothic, glamorous, luxurious - like something out of a fairytale or Hammer horror movie set. The bath was enormous and really deep - big enough for two. I especially liked the free champagne, the eggs florentine and Blair the waiter. I can understand why the Witchery is known for being in the top 10 most romantic hotels in the world.

I would say that if you have mobility issues, to contact the Witchery so you can be allocated the right suite. There are spiral stone staircases, steps into bed and the baths are deep and hard to negotiate. The carpet runner in our suite was loose and we both tripped over it and some of the seating wasn't very comfortable which meant we couldn't fully use the suite.
The staff were excellent and couldn't do enough to help. The food was good and the gothic atmosphere both in the suite and the restaurants, great fun. A great place to celebrate. The Witchery is in a great location.
