Booked the Frederick house hotel on Sunday morning and arrived 3hours later. Don't be put off by the outside, it's not a big grande entrance. Once through the doors that changes. The heat just hit you when you went in, which is nice on a rainy scottish afternoon. The rooms were lovely, warm and spacious. We booked a double and... More

I stayed here recently for a quick vacation in Edinburgh. Arrived 30 minutes before check-in and the room was not yet ready, so I stashed my things and went for some lunch. The hotel is in a nice, central location, and I really loved the breakfast arrangement they had with the restaurant across the street. But the room itself reminded... More

I booked a room for a one-night business trip. The room itself was small but well-appointed, clean, modern, and completely functional for a professional traveller. I was located on the 4th (top) floor which faced away from Frederick Street, and enjoyed a quiet night and a sunset view of the Firth of Forth in the distance. The bed was comfortable... More

I travelled to Edinburgh on my own for 4days. I arrived into the city at 8.30am following an early morning flight. After getting breakfast, I arrived at the hotel at 10am to enquire about checking in early if possible. The general manager Iwona was great- he told me he'd have a room ready in 30minutes. Needless to say- I was... More

I booked this hotel for a work trip requiring a one night stay in Edinburgh and the hotel the function was located in was quite expensive. Located only 2 streets from where I needed to be the location was the deciding factor. Friendly and efficient check in staff who advised me my room wasn't ready as I was earlier than... More

We stayed here before we got married and came back probably 10 years later to try again. It has been revamped since our last visit which was nice. Our room was comfortable, though on the top floor at the very front so if the lift was busy then you either had to wait or walk. To be fair only around... More

Stayed overnight on a short visit to some of Edinburgh's highlights. The hotel was very nice and the room was comfortable, clean and functional. No outlook from the room as we were at the side and there were only the surrounding brick walls to be seen which was not a problem as we were only there for one night and... More

Centrally placed so useful for visiting city. Disappointed that for a 4 star hotel it did not supply bath sheets, rather than the rather puny bath towels which were a little thin, and well-used. For some strange reason, the waste-paper bin smelt very badly of `fish` - we had to put the bin outside the door !! Basic decoration but... More

I was lucky to get a discount rate when booked there. So for me personally it was a good value for the offer. Ideal location in the city center makes the hotel perfect accommodation for tourists who are all day busy with tours, excursions and shopping. I agree with those who mention a bit old-fashioned design and room furniture. However,... More
