Lock in a great price for Frederick House Hotel – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

- Very friendly staff - Spacious room - Comfortable bed - Located very close to Princes Street (main shopping area)

Vincenzo, Switzerland

We had problems with the bed and pillows. Nothing could be done with the bed so we turned the bed around ourselves to have a stronger bedside for my large frame husband. The pillows were changed beautifully and we slept well the following Two nights.

Camilo, United States of America

Good location, quiet spot, clean room, comfortable bed, cable TV, two helpful male staffs who helped me with getting a cab and directions

Anne, Philippines

Very convenient location. Was able to walk to the main areas to do the tours, shopping, etc.

Joan, United States of America

Location, location, location. Staff is amazingly helpful and kind.

Paige, United States of America

The check in process was very easy. They explained everything so I was at ease. The location was perfect. Not far from Waverley station and all major attractions. There’s bars and restaurants a stones throw from there and a small market store 2 minutes walk away. The night staff were remarkable. A ten minute conversation about the area turned into an in depth chat, as friendly as can be. Great information and friendly service.

Stephen, Canada

Clean and convenient to shopping and pubs/restaurants. Great, helpful staff.

Greg, United States of America

Paint pealing on room ceiling, two false fire alarms middle of the night. But, incredible location, friendly staff.

Peter, United States of America

It was a very quiet room (because of the patio view), cozy and warm, the heating was a big plus because nights in Edinburgh can be chilly and also the facilities of a kettle and complimentary coffee and tea. Great after a long day exploring the amaizing city.

Marina, Spain

This was my second time staying at Frederick House Hotel and it did not disappoint. This time around I sprung for a bigger room and I was so large and spacious. The rooms are clean and the staff is so helpful. Truly a great hotel.

The staff on Saturday had sense of humour failure and a bit concerned that left luggage although in a safe room, you got a key to access. Disclaimer on the wall from the hotel, really not good.

Excellent location close to rail station & Princes Street. Nice large room & bathroom with good shower & bath. Tea coffee & fridge supplied in room. Very good value for money for an Edinburgh hotel in this location

I really can't think of anything.
The location of the hotel is perfect, as you're literally 1 minute away from Princes st, George st etc. There's an ATM & Post Office right outside it and despite it being so close to the main street, it's very quiet at night time. Triple room was very spacious and our hairdryer even had 2 different types of nozzles supplied which is very rare to find in most hotels. Our shower power was excellent & staff were very friendly!
