The rooms had everything we needed except a microwave. That would have been nice. We walked everywhere and saw so many things. This was my third time in Scotland but first time staying in Edinburgh. My great grandaughther was with me. 10 years old and was so excited about all the history and your beautiful country. Everyone at the hotel... more

This hotel is in a great location, very near the Air Port shuttle bus stop and Waverley Bridge Station, right in the centre of Edinburgh. My room was nice and very quiet. Only problem was that breakfast wasn't served until 7am and I had to be off earlier that than so missed out. more

Stayed for one night in this hotel. Fab location right in the center of Edinburgh,very pleasant staff, lovely clean and quiet room and all for £37.50 each a night ( room only ) we thought it was great value and wouldn't hesitate to use this hotel again. more

Ended up at this hotel as the one we had booked was overbooked & this one had a spare room. Good location, all of the city was easy to access. Breakfast is served in a different bar about 100 metres away which is fine. However, the service at breakfast was chaotic & food was mediocre. The room we had (no.... more

Wonderful place to stay. We stayed at the Frederick House hotel in Feb 2009. We read some of the reviews and weren't sure about this place. Rest assured, this is a lovely hotel. Great location, walking distance to the castle and shopping. Yes, it does show some age. Our bedspread piping had some fraying, lobby furniture could be replaced. But... more

We arrived at the hotel with some trepidation considering some reviews we read after having already booked. However, we found, for the most part, this was unnecessary. Although this is an old hotel housed in a listed building we found the public areas refurbished with new carpets and wall paper. The bedrooms are, apparently, also being refurbished although how long... more

Upon arriving the building seems very nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. However entering the room we experienced a different feeling. The room was generally OK but definitely not clean by anyone's standards. The bathroom smelt fusty and so did the bed sheets, previous occupants had written on the mirror and so each time you had a... more

My friend and I stayed here mainly due to it's central location. We managed to get a very competetive promotional rate whilst booking online too. We were really pleased with what we got for the amount we paid. A huge room, with all you would need for a city weekend break, and a fantastic breakfast at the lovely little cafe... more

We selected this hotel from the VisitScotland website, trusting their star rating system (big mistake). The hotel is centrally located in a good neighbourhood, building is traditional and attractive and reception staff are pleasant and efficient, but the compliments stop there. We booked a twin room and were assigned Room 303 - a big room which had beds for four... more
