The hotel is located not more than a 10 to 15 minute (leisurely) walk from the main train station. Easy to find and not far from most of the sights in the centre of town. The hotel is well kept. Carpets and furnishings are very nice and clean. Our room was beyond spacious (with both a double AND a single... More

Did not expect too much from this hotel and this is exactly what I got. Very small room and only natural light was a small vertical glazed window which half-opened over a fire escape. Telephone in room did not work and there was noise from the pipes all night. Breakfast across the road was fine. Excellent location, short walking distance... More

The hotel is located in the centre of Edinburgh, in one of the best possible locations. It is a good 4-star hotel with quiet, comfortable, clean rooms, and good service from friendly staff. The breakfast is served across the road at the Cafe Rouge, and this has a good selection and an excellent cooked breakfast. Given the location and quality... More

This hotel has beautiful rooms, very modern, clean and spacious. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast across the road is very nice. The hotel location is perfect for a city holiday, within walking distance to the Old Town and main tourist sights. I would definitely stay here again! More

Our family of 4 stayed at Frederick House for an Edinbugh holiday. Our room was clean and modern, with each of the 2 kids having their own bed. Check in was easy and fast. The location is amazing. You can walk to the Castle, Royal Mile, National Gallery and other attractions. There are loads of restaurants in area from Indian,... More

Excellent central location but for the money paid, a very poor experience. Room was basic. Thin pillows, sheet and scratchy blanket in bed, tiny towels, cheap looking toiletries and no safe in room. Breakfast in Cafe Rouge pretty basic with warm, watery orange juice and basket of dried up pastries. All made worse by inconsiderate neighbours at 5.45 on Sunday... More

I have stayed here a few times, and I can never get over how reasonably priced the place is, for where it is located. Bang in the heart of Edinburgh within spitting distance of the best shops, bars, restaurants and major attractions. The place is emaculate and the staff are very friendly, and extremely accomodating what I really love is... More

This is the second time I've stayed here, and it's been fantastic both times. The rooms are, as others also comment, large and spotlessly clean - the cleaning staff deserve a bonus! The carpets are now a bit more worn than when I stayed 2 years ago, but this has to be one of the best locations in edinburgh, and... More

Loved this hotel, we have stayed in quite a few in the city and this was brilliantly priced for a last minute stay. We can't fault either the room or the breakfast across the road in cafe Rouge( and for those people who complain about walking across the road to get breakfast... get a life lol its only about 10...

I stayed here before a number of years ago and I will stay here again. This hotel is in a central location where staff are friendly and helpful. My room was of a good size, spotlessly clean and great value for money. It has all the basics I would expect to find in my hotel room (tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryer,... More
