Stayed here for a weekend away in Edinburgh and it's simply the cutest little hotel located very centrally just off the main street. The rooms aren't the biggest, but there is enough room for two to rest comfortably in a double. Also, the rooms were very clean and, for being so close to the main part of the city, quiet.... More

Very clean hotel in a great location for city centre. Staff polite and helpful. However how does it get 4 stars. A little paper sachet of shampoo and bath gel. You get better in most 2 stars. No real amenities beyond a bedroom a luggage store and a small sitting room. The bedroom we had was just adequate. The shower... More

I was very happy with the room and I suppose I knew when I booked it that it did not have a pub/restaurant. The room was clean, warm and spacious. The location was by far the best attraction and Cafe Rouge across the road had lovely breakfast, coffee and the staff were very friendly. Also the 25% off the menu... More

Going to a Burns Supper in Edinburgh and looking for a place to rest my head. Nothing too extravagant required but central Edinburgh best. I happened across the Frederick House Hotel which offered excellent value for money. The quality of the rooms and bathrooms was very high. It doesn't have a restaurant on site but has a partnership with Cafe... More

We payed £45 a night for a double ensuite room with breakfast. The hotel is recently and tastefully decorated and the rooms have all you need including bath/shower, tea and coffee facilities and a fridge. Our room was an adequate size, no view which was a shame but otherwise fine and comfortable.The hotel also has a luggage room free of... More

This was our second visit in 2 years and that must say something. It offers good rooms with effective heating (January in Edinburgh can be really cold) and is very clean, nice bathrooms and an excellent location for the price. Breakfast is included at the Cafe Rouge across the road which is cheerful and offers 25% off any other meals... More

We had previously stayed at the hotel so thought it would be an ideal base to use for an overnight stay. Poor service at reception and the receptionist didn't respond to a complaint that was made regarding excessive noise during the night despite it being reported. Cafe Rouge for breakfast was mediocre and the service was verging on terrible considering... More

This older hotel is located in the heart of Edinburgh's "New Town" (not so new actually, founded in the 1700s or so) and very well positioned for visits on foot to the main shopping and dining spots in town, as well as to Edinburgh Castle, museums, the National Portrait Gallery and other places of interest in both the new and...
