Lock in a great price for Frederick House Hotel - rated 8.3 by recent guests.

to get started.

Everything is perfect , right in the middle of city centre. Absolutely beautiful and spacious room and friendly staff.

Arun, United Kingdom

for the price i wasnt expecting much, but i was amazed at the hotel and the rooms for the cost, i have paid alot more more and stayed in worse hotels in the past. The location is perfect for getting around the city.

Glen, United Kingdom

I want to thanks kathrin, a member of the hotel staff. She did a tremendous job helping me to get an special tourist program involving a tour company, taxi and train connections. I couls say: she made my day

Alfonso, Bolivia

Good location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of restaurants close.

Dorothy, USA

Location excellent, rooms very comfortable & spacious, very good breakfast over the road. Great value

John, Spain

The room was really interesting w a great view. Breakfast was good. Staff were great.

Phoebe, United Kingdom

The location was perfect, the hotel was spotless and very quiet. Staff were pleasant and very helpful. As there is no parking at the hotel the receptionist gave us details for the car parks but informed us that, as it was a Bank Holiday weekend, parking on the single yellow lines was free on the Sunday and Monday.

Norma, United Kingdom

The room was superb with amazing view. Very tidy and spacious.

Simona, United Kingdom

눉The breakfast was in cafe Rouge. The breakfast tasted like it was cooked 2 days ago and warmed up for 30 seconds in the micro wave. Cold and tasteless and very bad. Thankfully the staff returned our money . I advise everyone to not take the breakfast there, and the hotel to search for other places. Also i have my concerns about safety. The receptionnist is not looking at all who is coming in and out, so you can walk in the hotel without questions.
눇Wifi super quick, Clean.

눉The beds were not comfortable. The windows only partially open, and no Air Conditioner so it got very stuffy and hot in our 3rd floor room. We did not sleep well. The carpet was worn and dirty.
눇The staff and location were excellent. Very friendly. Nice showers and water pressure.

눉I realise that Edinburgh is expensive but this was below expectation for the price. The room had all of the expected facilities but was dingy. The large window opened onto another wall so it was dark and could make you claustrophobic.
눇The staff are friendly and it is in a good location, just a bit out of the very centre so as not to be too noisy but with everything close by.

눉Air conditioning would be good. The weather was beautuful so windows needed to be open. As my room faced Frederick Street it was therefore noisy.
눇Clean and tidy. Room was spacious. Fire safety equipment was good.

“A good city centre hotel - with added French flair for breakfast”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Single Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉My room felt more like a basement flat - with no proper view. On my final day, before checking out, the breakfast at Rouge was a bit chaotic for a Monday morning, starting with only two staff members to serve menu and food. Hotel room chairs and carpets are a bit bare and need updating.
눇The decision by staff to upgrade to a double bed. The breakfast menu at Café Rouge was better than I expected. Staff in both the hotel and café were very good and very helpful. Good reception staff even late at night. Fresh towels in the bathroom and quick room service staff.

“Older somewhat worn down hotel with some charm and lots of flaws.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Single Room
- • Stayed 6 nights
눉This somewhat negative review reflects the price of rooms compared with the standards: The breakfast was absolutely atrocious and definitely not worth the money - microwaved beans, lukewarm champignons etc. The room was also damp and clammy - I get that its probably due to the age of the building with it being a bit moldy, but my room also had a massive scratch in the ceiling and for a hotel at that price that prides itself on being "newly renovated" that simply wont do. My room was luckily not in the basement (which smelled very moldy), but it did have the feature of a window right next to the ventilation from a restaurant. In short, I dont think the hotel represented value for money.
눇Fantastic location in the middle of beautiful Edinburgh in a really nice area. You wont go wrong location-wise. I also liked the fact that the front desk was manned 24/7 and that the staff was very helpful. The room had a good size as well and the beds are nice.
