Michelin Guide "Boutique hotel featuring unique modern murals and dark wood, wine-themed bedrooms; located close to the Royal Mile."
Star Service "Located in a former asylum that was once the city's most feverish prison, this is one of those places that earns its respect from the dining function." Full review
Frommer's "This boutique chain revolving around, and reveling in, wine seems as inspired an idea today as it was when the first property opened in 1994." Full review
Oyster Upscale
"The Hotel du Vin& Bistro is an upscale boutique hotel occupying an 18th-century asylum in the center of Edinburgh, within walking distance of most the city's attractions." Full review
Fodor's "Leave it to one of the U.K.'s most forward-thinking chains to convert a Victorian-era asylum into this understated luxury property." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The bistro-centered Du Vin chain has built its hip reputation on bold remodelings of unlikely edifices." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"The Hotel du Vin group is known for its imaginative use of historically interesting buildings and this branch in the Old Town — close to the old Royal Infirmary and well-placed for exploring — is no exception." Full review
Time Out "Edinburgh joined the select posse of UK towns and cities with a Hotel du Vin in late 2008, and its sheer, well-executed reliability has made it a discreet hit ever since." Full review

Fodor's "This lavishly theatrical lodging promises a night to remember." Full review
Rough Guide "Seven riotously indulgent suites grouped around this famously spooky restaurant just downhill from the Castle."
Time Out "Each of them is dark, theatrically gothic and lavishly furnished with antiques, leather and velvet, Victorian baths and grand beds, complementing the magical atmosphere at the Witchery dining rooms." Full review
Frommer's "This flamboyant and fabulously gothic bolthole is all your historical fantasies rolled into one. If it doesn't make your pulse race, quite frankly you haven't got one." Full review

"Essentially a restaurant ... with some suites attached, there are few communal spaces -- the hotel is a favorite among those seeking seclusion." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"This extraordinary collection of fantasy suites near Edinburgh Castle is the ultimate romantic hideaway: sumptuous, indulgent, and slightly (delightfully) mad." Full review
Fodor's "A Gothic fantasy in an ancient collection of stone buildings twisting around each other...one of Edinburgh's most hauntingly atmospheric places to stay, and it's next level luxurious to boot." Full review
Independent "Wake up in a mixture of camp four-poster boltholes straight from a costume drama or more intriguing Gothic suites filled with playful nooks, crannies and creaky furniture."
Independent "Forget comparisons to Hogwarts, The Witchery is so overflowing with grown-up Gothic decadence it would make passing Harry Potter tour groups blush"
Independent "Situated in a 16th-century building, the luxurious Witchery is gothic, glamorous and utterly beguiling. It’s also home to an award-winning restaurant – book ahead."
