A real treat, but be aware ...We were prepared not to get champagne after booking with Late Rooms for £250 and intended buying a bottle when we were out, until we were shown to our room and Margaret noticed champagne glasses had not been left, which she intended to remedy. With this in mind, we expected champagne we when got back later, but reception said champagne is not included because we booked with Late Rooms. We were however, given slippers in an embroidered 'The Witchery' cotton bag as a keepsake and 'The Witchery' labelled milk chocolate bar. There were two butter-rich cookies, tea and coffee making facilities. There was a fridge with a half pint bottle of whole milk. Molton Brown and Elements products were provided in the bathroom, which had a hint of damp odour, but the fresh lillies in the reception/dining room overwhelmed this. The continental breakfast believe it or not, was great. Breakfast is delivered in a basket and you can opt to have it unpacked for you on the beautifully set table for two or you can unpack the basket yourselves at your leisure. You can chose to have breakfast in the restaurant if preferred. For the continental breakfast, you are left with a list to hang outside your door by 11pm the night before. The list includes meats and cheese, cereals, hot porridge, freshly sliced fruit selection, yogurts, fruit juices, teas, coffee, hot pastries (unfortunately our pastries were cold, but still enjoyable). The hotel said they could not provide semi-skimmed milk because they had not had delivery before our breakfast was brought to our room at 9.30 am. The heavy drapes are a little dusty, a frail blind came down, the carpet has stains in places and is fraying on the step up to the breakfast table. The windows were noisily cleaned around 8am and coaches started pulling up outside early too. The Inner Sanctum is on the first floor and faces Camera Obscura on Castle Hill which leads down to the Royal Mile. This is a busy area for drop offs and

The WitcheryThis is without doubt THE place to stay when in Edinburgh. We were inthe aptly named Inner Sanctum, a suite of 3 rooms with all the Gothic drama and theatricality you would expect of somewhere called The Witchery. The bathroom is particularly spectacular. The service is discreet and attentive and the breakfast basket a delight. If I have a criticism it is that it was just too hot, possibly due to the unusually warm spring weather.All in all, the best place ever to take your lover!

rooms are 5star and a magical experience .breakfast in room served by maggie was absolutely splendid and a really charming woman.do not eat in the restaurants as the food must be the worst in edinburgh bland,overpriced,and an aloof head waiter who only acknowledged the 2 tables of regulars .save your money and dine elsewhere!

Wonderful accomodation. We paid a reduced price of £185, including breakfast, which was well worth it. For a special occasion full price would still be ok. The restaurant has a huge "wow" factor, but the food is no match for the prices.

Fantastic does not begin to describe our stay. The suite we stayed in was opulence itself with rich colours throughout enhanced by antique furnishings culminating in a magnificent four poster bed.We had a wonderful continental breakfast delivered and set up by a friendly member of staff.Another superb touch is the chilled champagne awaiting you in the room on arrival which just added along with the decadent surroundings to a fabulous stay.

My husband and I had an amazing 2 nights at the witchery in the guardroom suite. The suite was gorgeous, decked in antiques and with all the little touches that make all the difference (deep 'fired earth' bath, underfloor heating, 4 poster bed, breakfast served in your suite in a little dining room area dressed with white linen). Staff, including Roxy were helpful, friendly and even let us leave our bags there after check out until we had to catch our train. Meal in Secret Garden also perfect. A magical stay, we are now spoilt for other hotels and want to try all the other suites too! Only downside was I couldn't sleep due to a mixture of excitement and things that go bump in the night - the atmosphere is quite spooky, especially with all the old uniforms around the place (which we had great fun trying on!). Wonderful, thank you.

The hotel was unusual; beautiful in decor, and to my mind very entertaining in design , and after the initial shock of arriving at 1am in the morning, delightful.The guradroom suite was again extremely spacious. The four poster bed, high, but extremely comfortable. The hotel catered for all our needs with a wide variety of CD's, an automan which electronically became a television for inbed viewing, to a varied selection of DVDs provided for use. The Witchery catered highly for their guests and took into account in a grande scale what they perceived their guests would require and met and by passed the requirements.My daughter and myself opted for a cooked breakfast rather than eating in the dining room of the suite and were more than satisfied with the standard of food, the layout of the restaurant and the friendliness of the staff. The breakfast was enormous, beautifully cooked and presented with a wide variety of choiceThoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to make a return visit. Have already passed the credentials of the hotel onto a work colleague who has looked at the webiste, the information I have provided and has already looked into booking friends from abroad into this hotel. Great experience and totally individual in concept and design, charm and originality.

I booked this a surprise for my Husband's birthday through late rooms and found it to be great value for money. We didn't get to choose our suite but were allocated the Library Suite and it was fantastic. Highly recommended for a romantic break away.

We wanted a relaxing break in exceptional surroundings and that’s exactly what we got. I have to say that the Witchery is like no other hotel in the world (and we have stayed in a few). We would normally stay at a boutique type hotel but this trip was one we wanted to remember for personal reasons and we wanted something more than plasma screens and wooden floors.The witchery is the name of a Restaurant which also has seven individually themed suites situated within a stones throw of Edinburgh Castle. We booked two suites (the Vestry & the Guardroom) which were situated in a 16th century building with spiral staircases and views across Edinburgh’s rooftops on one side and the royal mile on the other. The suites were decorated in different styles but both had the effect of time travel, as you walked in through the door you could imagine yourself in a different century. The Vestry was very gothic in style and as the name suggest it had an ecclesiastical theme with hidden bathrooms behind lined walls and a huge bedroom that used a church organ as the headboard of the bed. The Guardroom has a smaller bedroom but it does have a separate sitting room and a four poster bed that you need to take a run at to get into. We ate in the Witchery restaurant in the evening and can only describe the meal as truly superb. I can definitely recommend the seafood platter for starter, the chateaubriand for a main course, and for desert, well if you can’t make your mind up they do a lovely sampler which is just enough to push you over the edge.As for breakfast, well we decide to have it in our room and it was delivered to our room on time within a wicker basket. The porter then sets your private dining table in your room and leaves you to enjoy breakfast which was excellent. We could have stayed there forever but alas we had to leave that morning as they were fully booked that evening but we will be back. The last thing we did before we left was sign the visitor’s book as the likes of Dan
