The Witchery

We stayed in the Sempill Suite for 2 nights and it was amazing! The staff is super friendly and attentive, the location is right at the castle, and the room is huge! We will definitely be returning!

Our room was wonderful and the staff were friendly and attentive. We went to celebrate our 30th anniversary and the stay surpassed expectation. Thank you all.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Witchery in Edinburgh. The room felt magical, truly one of the most unique and special places we’ve ever stayed. Every detail was thoughtfully designed. The location couldn’t be better, you’re right on the Royal Mile with incredible views of the castle, which made everything feel even more memorable. It was the perfect base for exploring the city while also feeling like a destination in itself. We’re already hoping to come back soon!

We had a great stay at the Witchery! The room was amazing and the service was exceptional. We also had dinner at the restaurant, which was delicious! I can't say enough good things about the hotel and staff. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Thank you!

prestations de qualités, personnel au petit soin, petit déjeuner en chambre parfait, la nuit dans cet hôtel nous transporte dans un autre temps. Merci

Overpriced tea service with terrible service for a solo traveler

Wow sumptuous sexy hardly little beautiful suites well should i say apartments
Extremely cosy setting right next to the castle and opposite the fun illusion attraction that you also must try we were booked in for two nights but on

Very convenient location for many tourist spots in Edinburgh. Exclusive with only a few suites, secure entrance. Each suite is uniquely decorated with original artwork, tapestries, and wood floors. The bedroom of The Armory suite was quite, tucked between rooftops. The restaurant for breakfast was quite and delicious food. All the staff we encountered was polite, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. It was a bonus having our luggage brought up and down the original stone spiral staircase. It is pricy to stay here, but I think it is worth it for the space and location you get, the service you get, and the historic aspect.

wyjątkowy hotel (klimatyczny) - doskonale wpasujący się w miejsce (centrum starego Miasta). Doskonała restauracja, bardzo dobry serwis .

We had a wonderful stay in the Rectory suite. There were added complimentary items such as fruit, water, truffles, crisps,Nespresso machine with pods, lots of expensive toiletries and because we booked direct a bottle of champagne. The turn down service was a lovely touch and much appreciated as there were so many cushions and blankets on the bed and as the suite is so big lots of blinds to close! A large silver drinks bowl that our water and champagne were in on arrival had been topped up with fresh ice too.
We did not book a table for dinner as I am vegetarian and there was only one option of carrots so that was disappointing. We decided to have our breakfast in the restaurant and the gentleman who served us was charming and very attentive. Again it would have been nice for a vegetarian option of a full Scottish breakfast but I had scrambled eggs which were amazing. I would echo other comments regarding the lighting, I love soft lighting but it was a little too dark to see the menu or fully appreciate the room.
The one thing I would say is there were lots of tourists that kept getting in the way of the entrance to the hotel. There is a narrow passage and a lot of tourists seemed to think it was an attraction so they kept wandering down blocking the doorway. Maybe some clear signage or gate at the front of the passage way could help.
We would definitely recommend going there and hope to visit again.
Thank you to all the staff.

To dark cannot read menu. Food came steak was mediocre cold mash potato which I returned. My wife’s fillet steak had a huge lump gristle in it. Over expensive for quality you would expect

Outstanding location staff food & experience…Especially thank you to Mackenzie for your attentive service & Cameron for checking our service

The room is everything you think it’s going to be from the photos and more. The breakfast hamper delivery and set up is exquisite. Theservice is beyond anything I’ve received in other places. Every single person is so kind and accommodating. The ambience is the reason we all book this place and it did NOT disappoint! We didn’t end up eating in the restaurant because we don’t really eat a lot of meat and seafood and there were a few, but not many other options but the menu looks amazing if you do!

Dinner in The Secret Garden and then a night in the Turret Suite for a birthday treat. It was a wonderful experience throughout, from the friendly and informative driver who picked us up at Edinburgh Airport to a magnificent continental breakfast the following morning. (I'm sure the breakfast buffet in the restaurant would have been great but we wanted to make the most of our Suite and chose to have the continental brought up to us.)

The dinner was fabulous, with plenty of choice for non-meat eaters, and the Turret Suite was amazing - packed full of atmosphere from its beautiful antique furniture and fittings, and a bathroom with both a lovely free-standing bathtub and a huge walk-in double shower.

The bustle outside didn't intrude into the very quiet Suite and there was a real buzz to be had from knowing we were so close to the Castle itself.

The staff could not be faulted: all friendly, welcoming and very efficient from start to finish.

Not cheap, but worth every penny for such a marvellous experience.

Gorgeous setting, perfect location, service and food wonderful, details unmatched for an castle feel. Mist memorable for mostly good memories.
One small detail overlooked when booking the Heriot suite
There is NO shower ! My 6 ft tall husband was a very good sport …but it is truly not realistic for a hotel of this caliber. This room should be in a lower price range in my opinion compared to the other rooms with this proper amenity. We never thought to look for “a shower” while booking ;) a room.

30 years ago we had dinner, now on our anniversary we returned and also stayed the night. What a charm! The staff are exceptionally forthcoming and friendly and the property is absolutely stunning! What a treat it has been to stay a night in the Armoury!

The staff are exceptionally polite and forthcoming and the property is just delightful. It transports you right back to days gone by!

Excellent stay. Unique hotel with superb attention given to detail. Wonderful and helpful staff. Great location

Magical charm with well executed details. Cozy and full of character. Location location location. Professional and warm wait staff in the restaurant.
