Time Out "Originally the Scandic Crown. ... A clean-cut, sleek and monochromatic look with subtle Scottish motifs. Service standards are high, and you'll walk out of reception on to the Royal Mile." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is in an excellent location for business and pleasure, and although it bares some brash modern garb, it is as soft as a plush toy when compared with the edgier Point Hotel nearby." Full review
Frommer's "Location, location, location: If you want to be right in the thick of it, you can't beat this hotel." 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
OysterUpscale
"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."
