I liked everything! The location is so convenient across from the train station and city centre with all the shopping and restaurants and museums. Everything is in walking distance. The staff was fantastic and let me check in early. I was also not feeling well and offered anything extra to make myself more comfortable. I only wish I'd had the time and inclination to try the spa.

Fantastic city - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and will return to see more. I had four days, but honestly could have spent four weeks and still not have gotten to see as much as I wanted. The caste tour was very enjoyable, and dinner after at The Witchery was one of the best I've ever had. Best of all were the people of Edinburgh; incredibly friendly, helpful, and they all actually seemed happy. Followed this visit with a trip to the Czech Republic, where I don't think I met a single happy person in four days, much less anyone who was semi-approachable. I'll see much more of Scotland next time round. I wont be going back to CZ.

We enjoyed our visit to Edinburgh Castle although it was busy, even in April. We ate at Gusto, good food and service. We ate at a steak house and were not disappointed.
The Royal Mile is full of similar touristy shops, but walking round the city and park gave us plenty to see.
We did drive the 3 miles to the base of Arthur’s Seat, and then enjoyed the challenge of the climb and the views from the top. Not for the truly unfit!

Edinburgh is a captivating blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. From the striking Edinburgh Castle perched atop the iconic Royal Mile to the charming cobbled streets of the Old Town, every corner of this city is steeped in stories waiting to be discovered. The juxtaposition of medieval architecture with modern amenities creates a unique atmosphere that appeals to both history buffs and contemporary explorers alike. The city's vibrant arts scene, highlighted by the annual Edinburgh Festival Fringe, offers a plethora of theatrical performances, art exhibitions, and live music events to delight visitors. And let's not forget the breathtaking landscapes that surround the city, from the verdant hills of Holyrood Park to the windswept shores of Portobello Beach. Whether you're strolling through the bustling streets of the city center or embarking on a scenic hike in the nearby countryside, Edinburgh never fails to captivate with its beauty and charm.

An interesting city. Impressive old town.
An interesting city. Impressive old town. Superior public transport. Seems like a safe place. Active day and night life. Lots of sights and I'm sorry that we couldn't see everything in two days.
The only drawback is the climate, which is quite cold in any season other than summer.

One of the nicest and most interesting cities I have ever visited! The place's history ist absolutely fascinating, and you can always dig a bit deeper and find out more. People are genuinely friendly and helpful.
Newly renovated, nicely furnished, friendly guest house. Ian and David were welcoming, available, and helpful, with excellent tips and pointers on Edinburgh in general and the local area in particular. Breakfast was very good ("Lorne sausage" is an acquired taste, but it was not compulsory). The fresh bread at breakfast (baked in-house by Ian) is a lovely touch!
Location is decent for access to the Old Town, with a very pleasant 15-20 minute walk to the Royal Mile. The regular buses cut that time in half.
Lovely small hotel just outside the city centre, with on-site parking.
The owner was lovely and very accommodating (we ended up with a very late check-in due to an impromptu climbing of Ben Nevis). Also very helpful as a travel guide with what to do and where to eat.
Beautiful building and furnishings. Very quaint and spacious room with modern bathroom and excellent shower.
On bus route, so easy access in and out of Edinburgh city centre without the hassles of driving and parking.
Pretty much perfect location as it’s in the middle of new town and old town , and right infront of the rail station. It also has a shortcut path to take you directly from the hotel to the Royal mile in about 20 seconds lol. It was perfect, you really can’t get a better location. Also they had so many amenities like an espresso machine and the fluffiest sheets ever. I was extremely happy and comfortable here. If I return to Edinburgh I will only stay here.
Everything - beautiful hotel and grounds, clean, spacious rooms, lovely helpful staff, amazing dinner at main restaurant :D
Honestly loved it! Have agreed with my partner we're staying there every time we visit Edinburgh - outside city but still cheaper and better value for money for room here and parking or taxi into city centre than staying more centrally. Couldn't recommend it more! Love, love, love it <3
Amazing location, just two doors from the Royal Mile and St Giles’ Cathedral. 3-4 blocks from the National Museum of Scotland, where we spent a full day exploring.
Our room was elegant and looked out over the park below Edinburgh Castle. Nice to have a mini kitchen.
The staff is friendly and helpful. Guido, Alison, and Anna all helped make our stay memorable. We look forward to returning to Fraser Suites.
The location was a bit of a distance from the city centre but easily walkable and there were plenty of buses from just round the corner. The room was perfectly adequate with everything I needed. It was lovely having a breakfast delivered to my room every day and there was a big selection to choose from. The price was excellent compared to other hotels/guest houses in Edinburgh. Would highly recommend.
The location of this hotel was spot on, close to everything in Old Town. We walked everywhere and saw everything that we wanted to see in Edinburgh. We had a day trip to the Highlands and such as well and walked to the pick up spot just around the corner. Staff was friendly, beds were comfortable and there was great water pressure. I would stay again for the location, staff and value!
The location is perfect, in city centre, in walking distance to both the Old Town and the New Town, and this hotel is great value for money. I was worried that the room might be noisy because of the location, but we were in the new part of the hotel and it was very quiet. It was also very clean and comfortable.
Fantastic location within easy access of the airport & Edinburgh city centre. Great apartment for our family trip to Edinburgh. It had everything to meet our needs but with the added little details of a hotel. Loads of towels, coffee & tea, spotlessly clean. Pictures are exactly what it looks like.
It's convenient to get on bus to city centre and airport of Edinburgh, the area has its own community shops and restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. Good facilities is offered in the hotel with its restaurant, snack kiosk and best of all is the gym and swiimming pool.
The hotel is a newly styled hotel. The room is spacious with a pantry with fridge, microwave, dishwasher n a sink. It provides good quality of shampoo, conditioner, bath gel n body lotion. The buffet breakfast is good too. It near U of Edinburgh n walkable distance to the old town.
This place has lots of character and was better in person! Pleasantly surprised at larger bedroom suite and view of courtyard, great location in New Town area (downhill from Old Town Edinburgh), staff was super friendly and helpful, and the common areas were quite enjoyable.
The location was OK, nice bars, cafes and restaurants a short walk away and nicely away from the worst city centre hassle. People behind the desk were friendly. This was the cheapest option in Edinburgh for our dates and the next best thing to a hostel.
I love the location. Its handy for meeting friends and having a lovely meal in the carvery. Bus stop right outside the front door for buses into Edinburgh City Centre. Have always used this hotel as I like the service you receive from all the staff.
Very nice hotel in a quiet neighborhood .A spacious, beautiful room and very clean. It is 10 minute walk from the new town and 15-20 minutes from the old town. Also very close to Dean's village and a beautiful walk along the river Leith
very cosy hotel with everything what you need ! it is not in the city centre but we knew that when we booked our room.
we had beautiful room with the view on the street with old buildings which was lovely.
This Hotel is located near Royal mile which is in the central part of old town in Edinburgh, just 10-min walk to Edinburgh train station and you can walk to everywhere in the old town in 20 mins.
A modern hotel in a business park. Close to tram line (5 min walk)so easy to get in to Edinburgh city centre or to airport. Smallish but satisfactory rooms for an overnight stay.
