This is the 5th time I have stayed at the Fraser Suites, due to it's central location to the main shopping areas and has plenty of diverse and entertaining local Pubs,bars & Restaurants.
Stayed in a studio plus apartment (top tip always request a room facing the back and preferably the top floor, as they have lighting on the front of the building, which stays on all night), which has a big room with nice decor, sofa, table and chairs and cooking area with fridge, hob & microwave. If you are staying on your own and can't be bothered to go to a restaurant, M&S is 10 minute walk away get your own food in, borrow a DVD from reception and have a night in!
There is a big car park next door and even a room converted into a gym if you want some exercise.
Overall nice big rooms, modern decor with a home from home cooking options (if you want).

Me and my wife stayd at the fraisersuits this easter.

The hotel is in a wery good location, walking distance to all. The room were spacius and comfortable with nice bead and a small kitchen. Tv, vcr and stereo is in the room.
We loved to make our ownbreakfast when we woke upp, and you cant eat it in your bathrobes.
There are alot of good restraurants within 100m from the hotel. Pancho villas - mexican.
Sizzlersteakhouse.
The dhabba - authentic indian.

Many pubs are close by, one on the ground floor called maggie may, and it´s open late :o)

The staff were helpuff and check inn were smooth.
The room could use a fresh coat of paint and a some better cleaning, there were dust and durt.

As in other reviews, the location is fantastic. The room we had was modern, clean and spacious with a separate living and bedroom area. The duvet was indeed thin, but as we had fabulous weather it was quite adequate (in winter though I reckon it would be pretty cold). The staff were friendly, excellent and on the ball.

My one major complaint is that due to the single-glazed sash windows, the noise from the 2 bars downstairs was almost unbearable. We were on a street facing room, and whilst I appreciate that being in a city centre there will be this kind of noise (I am 35 so not quite an old codger yet either), I think it is a huge oversight not to install double glazing in these front rooms. With this sorted our stay would have been perfect.

Overall, I would stay again, but this time in a room at the back...

Dont pay attention to the bad reviews of this hotel. The person that complained of the bed being in the same room as the kitchen must've stayed in a "studio" apartment. That is what a studio is. You can also request a one or two bedroom if you prefer a separate bedroom. I personally love the studio deluxe....sitting area, large bed, tv, kitchen, bathroom. It's spacious, immaculately clean, inviting, lovely. They even had classical music playing on the stereo for my arrival. You are in the middle of Merchant city..restaurants, bars and very close to shopping! I love this hotel...excellent service, decor, location, ammenities. I can't think of a bad word to say and I travel a LOT!!!
Stay here...you'll be glad you did.
If you want quiet, ask for a room at the back of the hotel.

Enjoy!
