Hotel Description
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 glamor has caught the attention of The Times The Telegraph and Condé Nast Traveler and many celebrity fans have enjoyed its suites. The impressive restaurant also showcases fine Scottish dishes in similarly decadent surroundings.

Logistics needs to be improved

Liked: The waiting staff in the restaurant were fantastic
Disliked: The transfer of luggage into and out of the hotel needs to be dramatically improved. There was no help getting luggage into a taxi and that is not acceptable given the price of this accommodation- it’s a shame because otherwise it would have been a fantastic place to stay.

Breathtaking luxury in the heart...

Liked: The Armoury is like an entire apartment with everything one can wish for. There is a coffee machine and new bottles of water delivered every day. Breakfast is in the restaurant or can be delivered to the room. The bathroom has underfloor heating. The location is great right next to the Castle and the Royal Mile.

Excellent, would definitely recommend this...

Liked: The room and hotel were fantastic. Loved the traditional furniture and decoration. The location is the best in Edinburgh and right on the castle. The food was amazing and the service was second to none. When eating in the garden restaurant for dinner, I noticed that the stone floor had melted candle wax right under where I was sitting, this transferred onto my suede boots. The staff took them away at end of the night and professionally cleaned them for me and they came back as new. What more could I ask for!
Disliked: Would have been nice to have a bar area to have pre and after dinner drinks, we really missed this being on site although there are plenty of other outside options to choose from.
