Edinburgh hotels near Witchery Tours

Pros: Impeccable elegance.

Pros: Zoltan at reception was a star. The restaurant and bar team were efficient and friendly. Rooms were clean and well appointed. Looking forward to our next visit

Pros: perfect location, did not do breakfast sadly.

Cons: the Michelin rated restaurant was very good, wines were great, but not worth the money spent. All else was fantastic, we have stayed at 4 of your hotels in the past 6 months, and hope to stay at 6 more this year.

Pros: Lovely Christmas feeling. Wide choice of breakfast with care taken over presentation. Kippers were monumental ! Everything was so enjoyable. Staff throughout the hotel were flexible and attentive. A pro-active management team. Worldclass meal at No.1 restaurant.

Pros: I told them I am severely asthmatic. When I walked into the room I immediately smelled musty old rug that was cleaned at least dozens of times and exhausted its useful life a long time ago. I went back to the front desk and told them needed a different room for medical reasons and willing to pay more. The front desk person and the day manager told me that they did not have availability without any serious they said no without any consideration and force me to sleep in this room where I ended up wheezing all night. They also lied to me that all the rooms were renovated at the same time and were the same. And it turns out that there were at least a few rooms available.

Cons: The front desk staff should care about the wellbeing of their customers. Poorly trained and inconsiderate.

Pros: The Number One was a tremendous experience. The hotel and restaurant staff could not have been better during our stay. I would simply say keep it up!

Cons: Need a power source beside the bed for plugging in phone to use alarm

Pros: From the first minute to the last it was amazing. Best food in Edinburgh. We got some upgrade ! Stuff was super polite and nice. I’m very happy i chose this hotel as it was the best choice!!!

Pros: Beautiful historic hotel in the perfect location. The staff could not have done more to be helpful. The room was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The bathroom was spectacular.

Cons: The light level in the room was so subdued that it was difficult to see inside your suitcase. Other than that no complaints at all.

Pros: Helpful staff, spa, room, and views.

Pros: service

Pros: Everything!

Cons: Just hard getting in and out of the shower if you have hip or knee issues.

Pros: Very nice staff, but I really loved the elevator and fan in the room...the little things.

Cons: Not the hotel's fault, it's at every UK hotel I've been to, but a regular electrical outlet in the bathroom would be nice.

Pros: Location was fantastic. Rooms had beds and pillows more luxurious than most all 4 star hotels I stay in. Staff were great! I'd tell anyone visiting Edinburgh that this is THE place to stay.

Cons: No

Pros: We had a room upgrade when we arrived which gave us a castle view, which was brilliant! The room was spacious, the bed was super comfy! Didn’t use the bath, however it’s nice to see as not many hotels have baths in the rooms. Nespresso coffee machine and pods, and the borders biscuits were a nice touch. There was even Elmis products in the rooms, a hairdryer and an iron and ironing board. They have thought of everything, staff at the front desk were very friendly! We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on the food! Bobby the duck was a nice novelty too, he will be travelling with us on our next trip away!

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: Poached eggs perfect,but menu could be a bit more varied all in all we really enjoyed it and would stay there again.

Cons: No where to relax after evening meal so a better lounge area would be good and some sort of library so as books could be exchanged.

Pros: Very nice location lovely food and nice staff

Cons: Milk in fridge had gone off like cheese so maybe check it more often

Pros: Location, early check in, fab breakfast, good drinks and dinner....

Cons: Can't think of anything

Pros: Great location, superb interior design of the room. Very modern style

Cons: In-hotel gym was temporarely out of service bu the hotel offered a free entry at a partner gym

Pros: Location is brilliant, central yet calm, ok decor. Downstairs area for guests to sit and wait is great. Simon, the operations manager, despite his young age was very professional, energetic, smart and had outstanding listening skills and got the job done most efficiently. He would make an outstanding hotel manager in my opinion and could be seen running everywhere 'putting out fires' due to limited staffing, I suspect. Reckon should be poached by 5 star with more funds and better staff schedule mgt (here resources too low to do this well). Pool area is good. Spa is outsourced and has friendly personnel and good treatments. Bed was very comfortable and had good bedding. New room after cleaning mishap was clean and comfy and all our things were moved by them at my request so our day could keep going withoit further hassle. Check out time was flexible (12pm to 1pm) which was great for late departures/ later plane. Reception staff overall professional, responsive and doing their best. Female manager ok, but seemed just a good receptionist, not an energetic decision maker. Great to have taxis in front of hotel and all tours close by and Edinburgh castle about 10 min away. Airport bus connection (last stop) at bottom of hill. Steep 5-10 min walk to get to hotel, but managed with my 9 year old.

Cons: I found the place a little understaffed in the cleaning department. The second floor was disappointing, but the fifth floor was great. I didn't like one of the male back office managers tell Stefano, one of the receptionists, off in front of guests. Very unprofessional image and putting bad atmosphere into the hotel. Also bringing luggage up was a favour as portrayed by the tone of Stefano, so that we carried our own luggage up, which does not scream 5 star. Insisting on having luggage brought down at the end of the stay took 2 phone calls to reception and one to concierge and 30 min....Concierge only there during the day. Breakfast had lots of choices but was made up of cheap options and had nothing homemade/any local specialities. Felt like Aldi food without the organic options. No cakes. No walk in showers. Baths need updating. No drinks were free, not even water bottles in the room...no welcome chocolate or flowers...no personalised note...no minibar....no downturn service. Big push to become a Radisson member and getting points only if not going via booking.com. Getting room service on top of prices that were about x4 also required a delivery fee! Understaffed in high traffic times (end of breakfast- time should be extended/ check out time). Kitchen and room service personnel understaffed. A lot of cost cutting exercises, felt more 3 star than 5 star in the way it was run.

Pros: Spacious suite living room, separate half guest bath, Decent breakfast with separate order menu, gym had free weights to 30kg, location is on royal mile down road from castle (but for Christmas markets and shopping, a princess street hotel would been better), overall friendly staff.

Cons: 1. For a royal mile suite, main bathroom was standard. Overly spacious living room really could’ve spared space for a more comfortable bathroom befitting suite. 2. Website advertised kids eat free. However, when we ordered meals for the kids via room service, we were told it’s not free. Extremely deceptive and off putting of brand. 3. I emailed the hotel 1 week in advance of 4-day stay and asked for milk, orange juice, and water in room stocked and included room mini fridge. Email from customer service acknowledged request and even confirmed we still wanted wine and beer - a nice catch! However, when we arrived, we were informed juice and milk not included. False service promise should’ve not been made. Room service food was Not worth price (pizza, burger, and kids chicken meal were only ok but far more expensive than eaterery options all around).

Pros: Beds were super comfortable, standard room was really big, shower was powerful, always given fresh fluffy big towels, staff were super friendly and helpful. Location was excellent for sight seeing, train station, shops and pubs. Will definitely be returning for my next visit.

Cons: Nothing, could not find one fault

Pros: Everything,

Cons: The only thing I didn’t like was the hot toddy cocktail in the bar , don’t usually leave a drink

Pros: Breakfast was amazing! Staff were very helpful and hospitality was good

Cons: The fridges were dirty and the carpets could do with new ones

Pros: The hotel is on a busy straight with loads of activity, restaurants and pubs . It is a stones through from the castle and everything is a stones throw from it . Most we had to work to an attraction was 10 mins . Check in was super easy and Flynn have us some advice on the best places to shop and eat , and how to get there . Room was amazing super modern , spacious and clean . Bed was a queen size and very comfy . Bathroom is clean and spacious with a great shower and toiletries. Food and drink are super tasty just a little expensive. All the bar staff are very friendly and Aaron served us one night and we had a lovely chat with him . Hotel felt very like home and was super toasty and warm during the winter In Edinburgh. We also got white chocolate covered strawberries on arrival, a lovely gesture

Cons: One morning our cleaning maid was not very happy that she had to return and left abruptly sighing as we weren’t ready to leave because of the long flight the night before . But that was very minor and wasn’t a big deal to us :)

Pros: The room

Cons: There was a refurb going on so had to put up with constant drilling was not relaxing

Pros: Old world charm meets modern amenities- you can't go wrong with this hotel right on the royal mike in Edinburgh. Excellent staff, well maintained rooms, and full service. Health club has good assortment of machines and free weights.

Cons: It's bloody cloudy in Scotland- spent an entire week and didn't see the sun once.

Pros: Great location on the royal mile. Superior room was very comfortable and perfect for our needs. Parking option was great. Stayed Saturday night, attended a show on Sunday arvo but could leave our car and picked in up early evening for no extra charge. Staff were great.

Cons: Very happy

Pros: Couldn't fault anything at the hotel, the noise in surrounding areas was a bit much but it was a Saturday night I stayed so that can't really be helped.

Cons: Quieter room.

Pros: Superb location.. the suite we stayed in was gorgeous.

Pros: Atmosphere Christmas Day Restaurant staff attentive

Cons: All 3 courses of pre-ordered food were wrong which was requested by the hotel. Staff took my mobile phone away to show the chef our correct email order. Waitress was so nice and sorted it. Cant go wrong with 2 soups 2 turkeys and 2 crumble which we originally ordered. however, every course was wrong and was given salmon, beef and xmas pudding. Bar Staff - One girl very rude to my husband at the bar then changed her attitude when she realised he was a resident. Heating broke in the room and was very cold, staff had to get a heater. I was poorly with a cold.

Pros: Great location in new town!

Cons: We could hear the music from the night club located in the basement in our room, three floors up. Music was playing until 2:30 am.

Pros: Great location and vibrant atmosphere with lots to do good food and friendly staff.

Pros: Excellent location, 1 min walk from Royal Mile

Cons: Room needed repair - aircon not fully functional and taps leaked

Pros: Staff was awesome

Cons: Room was a bit too hot and not air conditioned. Likely not an issue normally as it is likely going to to be cool whole you're there.

Pros: The location was phenomenal, you can't get much more in the action than it is. They also put in AC in our room!! That was HUGE for us.

Cons: No room service, no car park

Pros: The staff was attentive and very helpful.

Cons: The washer & dryer. One of my loads didn't spin out well and after 3 hours of drying in the dryer, I gave up!!

Pros: -Wonderful staff! -Loved the tub and the towel warmer -Great location in Old Town

Cons: -There were no dressers in our room which made it difficult to stay comfortably for a week -WiFi was out for an entire day, which happens, but sucked while overseas without phone service and relying on WiFi for looking up where to eat

Pros: Clean and comfortable reasonable price for the area at this time of year with the Edinburgh market.

Pros: LOCATION - the hotel is clean, comfortable and lovely. Ice machine (rare in Europe) free laundry facilities and umbrellas were an added bonus. This is my favorite place to stay in Edinburgh and will recommend and return.

Pros: The suites are perfectly located to explore Edinburgh and were ideal for our comings and goings around Hogmanay. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. Excellent bar attached to the hotel.

Cons: We struggled to get our room serviced before 3.00pm on any of our 5 days and, on one of the days, the room was not serviced at all.

Pros: The beds were comfy and the hotel is in a good location. The 2 gentlemen that checked us in (Sunday night) were extremely helpful. It was very handy having laundry facilities.

Cons: Our toilet didn’t flush properly, I did bring it to receptions attention and they said they would call maintenance, but they never did anything about it. The 4 nights we stayed the shower gel remained empty.. housekeeping clearly don’t check these things.. also the tea and coffee etc were never refilled. St Giles cathedral is on the corner of the street, maybe 50 mts away, every 15 minutes they ring their church bell, we could sometimes hear it from the room. I also didn’t like that they had no room service options.

Pros: location

Cons: bath/shower not elder-friendly

Pros: Location and room
