Frederick House Hotel  

We wanted a hotel close to George Street and all the major sights of Edinburgh. This was perfect because we went out, for a classy meal at Centotre on George Street, then had a relaxing evening wandering to different bars, then walked round the corner to out hotel! Great location for a classy romantic evening out! The room and hotel was spotless. The service fantastic - reception couldn't do enough for us. And the breakfast at Cafe Rouge, across the road (which was part of our deal) was brilliant. And they had a vegetarian breakfast!

The location was excellent!

This 4 star hotel did not even provided facilities of a 3 stars.First of all, we did not have warm water for 2 days and no alternative has been proposed, we had to take our shower in the bathroom of our friend's bedroom, the hostess told us the hotel is complete and this is very difficult to repair it as this is the w-e.Secondly, the lift was out of order for 2 days.Thirdly, breakfasts proposed on the menu were not really up to standards, hotel has agreement with the in front restaurant (bad coffee (not the same as for other clients of the restaurant), children portions for some types).The bed was a 140cm which is very small for two. And finally, for the same price there were big differences between bedroom sizes of the same type.

We stayed at the Frederick's House Hotel for 3 nights while touring Edinburgh (2 adults and 2 children). Room was spacious, high ceilings, period touches with a modern, clean bathroom. Excellent location for exploring new and old Edinburgh, sampling restaurants and clubs or tourist attractions. Helpful and friendly staff but don't expect a lot of knowledge about local attractions and events. Did the Grayline tour of Loch Ness and Highlands (12 hours) and booked through hotel. Suggest a visit to the Information Centre to get a full range of options for local tours. Though the Grayline tour was okay, there might be other better options. The breakfast is offered at the Cafè Rouge opposite the hotel. Breakfast was great, freshly squeezed orange juice, eggs to order, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, etc. We also went to the Cafè Rouge twice for dinner (guests at hotel receive 25% discount) and were very pleased with the quality of the meal and service. Would recommend the hotel and restaurant to others and would stay there again. Would also recommend the Real Mary King's Close attraction.

Baggage locker was cramped and not secure. Self-service for putting in and taking out luggage from a common storage area.

Close to all attractions ,shopping,sight seeing all on doorstep.Clean, comfortable ,superb decor throughout.Free wifi in room. Pleasant, friendly staff .Breakfast was served in the Cafe Rouge restaurant directly opposite the hotel and was excellent.

Please could you put coat hooks on back of door. Being Scotland we took several variations of coats and for 3 of us they would have filled the wardrobe on their own ! Hung on back of chair but this is only observation and not a complaint.

Lovely, clean and smart city centre hotel. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city particularly if coming on the train as its no more than a 15 min walk and ideally located for shops, bars, restaurants, pubs, cafes, the castle and Princes Street. Very well maintained and furnished inside.

It's a small gripe and it wouldn't prevent me from booking here again but: the hotel does not have its own dining area and breakfasts have to be taken at Cafe Rouge across the road, and the early morning menu is a bit limited. However, residents are entitled to a 25% discount for meals at other times on production of the a voucher which the hotel issues to people staying on a daily basis, so it's not all bad. And the breakfasts are served 7am to 11am so if you do want a little lie-in you won't lose out on what you've paid for.

Great location only a few minutes from the train station. We were able to leave luggage after we checked out.

The lock in the bathroom was broken, and the catch in the door had been removed so we couldn't even shut the door. They couldn't fix it until the following day and there were no other room available so we had to hold the door shut with a spare roll of toilet paper. Not such a big deal if it's just a couple but there were 3 of us so it wasn't great. Reception staff weren't particularly friendly either.

Nice decor throughout hotel and room, very comfy bed, good tv. Provided extra blankets if needed aswell as iron and board, plenty of storage. Bathroom was spotless, and very light. Very polite staff, and complimentary breakfast at cafe rouge. Lovely tea selection, very good for £35.

The tv could have had a better range of channels, the bin was too discreetly placed it took me a while to find it......that was probably my fault though!

was very nice

no restuarant.

Clean, smart, great central location and good vfm

The hotel atmosphere, as the building is well preserved and refurbished, matching with the atmosphere of Edinburgh. The hotel location adds a charming note, and the Café Rouge (just across the street) breakfast and discount facilities, quite convenient.

The hotel is very centrally located. We have stayed there before and will stay again. It looks great with the renovations. We also enjoy the connection with Cafe Rouge.

We liked the hotel very much. There was an issue with the radiator making noise, but that was dealt with quickly.

How clean and modern it was

No bar area
