    Was unfortunate there was construction going on next door and building was boarded up so didn’t look great . Would have been helpful to have outlets near the beds . Otherwise great !

    Very nice room , helpful staff , great location.

    Ground floor was boarded-up as ‘under construction’ (which was a bit of a shock!), but the actual hotel was really very nice

    Great location near ‘Rose St’ (forget the Royal Mile!). Room was clean, spacious, very practical & comfortable.

    There were no toppers on beds. Even with tjick proper toppers beds this hard would not be healthy for smaller persons. - Sleeping was like lying on concrete. The same with pillows. At least they were flat.

    Quietness and location were best.

    Four lights did not work in the room and as I needed to work I did not have the time to ring down for replacements. Secondly no one was on the desk on arrival and I waited ten minutes. Minor point but bottled water in the room would have been nice.

    The central location was amazing, the room was large, comfortable and well decorated. Frederick House Hotel is an amazingly grand period building and overall a few touches away from excellent.

    Hotel is very old - decor and furniture is not too nice to look at (though perfectly functional).No power plugs beside the bed which seemed extremely odd and disappointing.

    Fantastic location, very central and seconds from Princes Street. The breakfast across the road was absolutely phenomenal and such a great add-on vs the usual hotel fare.

    The room looked out on the back of the hotel so not much to see except other buildings. However, being in the centre of a large city that was not unexpected.

    Lovely single room on the ground floor. It was warm and comfortable and had tea/coffee making facilities. Perfect for a one night stay. The ensuite was a good side with the use of a bath and an in bath shower. It's nice to have the choice.

    There was something in the sink drain, some remnants of something but was not a big deal. The only little thing I'd adjust was that my room didn't have an electric socket near the bed, but it was not a big deal

    The italian receptionist was super kind upon my arrival. I had a beautiful time at Frederik House. The bed was amazing and there were plenty of pillows to choose! I'd definitely would recommend it! And while in Edinburgh in the future I'd love to come back here. The position is perfect both for visiting the city and for going to Portobello beach via bus, it's close to the station and near a lively street. The breakfast included in my stay was served on the other side of the road was amazing as well, the Rabble bistrot is beautiful and the staff super friendly. Loved the combo with the hotel.

    Not a 4 stars hotel! The room was large but the size of the beds and the quality of the mattresses and bedding were terrible. The carpet smelled bad... you don't expect that from a 4 star hotel. Our room faced the street, super noisy.

    The 'double' bed was way too narrow for two people and also too short for tall people. As a result, we didn't get good sleep.

    Clean and large rooms with high ceilings, great location near the main street and the train station.

    The bed was very small for a 2-person bed. I’m 1m96 and sleeping in this bed for 2 person was not nice. The carpet in the room had stains and it’s needed to be cleaned or renewed.

    Very good location. Close to old and new town. Easy to take public transportation. Breakfast was across the street and was very good.

    Bed & pillows a little on the ‘to firm’ side for me. But not a valid reason to not stay here.

    Location was very good!
