Our stay was only a short one this time, but we were so empressed with the hotel, the friendly and helpful staff that we have decided to make another trip to edinburgh later in the year and will certainly use Frederick House Hotel again

The shops and resturants are all within easy reach and there is cetainly plenty to see espcially the castle.

I would definately recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Edinburgh. It's in a really great location and great value, compared to other hotels in the city. It was clean, comfortable,and the facilities were great.

Camera Obscura on the Royal Mile is a great attraction. Ive never been to anything like it and it's well worth the trip. Also if it's a nice day I'd recommend climbing King Arthur's Seat, the views from the top are fabulous.

It would be easy to criticise this hotel – don’t come here if you are expecting to be indulged or pampered. The décor is quite challenging to the eye in places, and the rooms have a ‘lived in’ feel about them. The very passable breakfast is taken over the road which seemed to trouble one or two of the other guests. However, we loved it and would definitely visit again. The staff are very accommodating, yet laid back. This hotel is well placed and good value if you just want somewhere decent to crash after a hard day sight seeing and or shopping.

Location, location, location - this is the best thing about this hotel as it is right in the heart of the city. There is no restaurant or bar in the hotel. However, the Ritz restaurant is great which is just opposite and the hotel have arrangements with them for breakfast.

Top Tip

lots of restaurants and bars near as the hotel is very central. Shops, castle, etc. are all within walking distance.

Lovely Hotel, great location, friendly & helpful staff, would stay there again with no hesitation.

Cafe Rouge directly across from the hotel - superb. Castle very close by and Dynamic Earth well worth the visit - also would recommed one of the tour buses round the city centre to help get your bearings!!

Bedrooms were absolutely fine.Breakfast was taken in Ricks cafe and our only complaint would be that only scrambled eggs were offered with breakfasts and when we asked if we could have a fried egg we were told that it was not possible. Cleanliness was 4-5 because the net curtains on the windows were in need of wash. Apart from these we had a super stay in Edinburgh and because of the location would stay there again.

We ate at the Patio one night and it was excellent. The other night we ate in one of the many pubs in Rose Street. Fingers Piano Bar in Frederick Street was nice and open until 3am. The German market, skating rink and lights made our christmas visit- along with White Christmas at the Playhouse

Great value for money. Lovely comfortable room. I have marked down the facilities as there's nowhere to convene downstairs. But saying that, the Nick's breakfast option is great too - lovely food.

Comment

Breakfast at Ricks was cold, when we told the staff the plate was taken away and the meal was reheated,complete with original toast which, rather than replace the part eaten slice of toast, they merely cut off the nibbled corner and served the remainder of the slice. Surroundings lovely. We were approached by other Hotel Guests who had had the same complaint about their meal the day previous. Hotel very nice and ideal for a City Centre location.
