This hotel was recommended and booked by a travel agent. The location is generally convenient to the main new town shopping area of Edinburgh as well as Waverly train station, and with some walking up hills the old town and castle areas can also be reached on foot. Breakfast was with a voucher at a restaurant near-by, and service at... more

Location: The hotel is situated a bit of a walk from the centre of Edinburgh. In the rain and with luggage, this was a small challenge... There was not a lot of food around, particularly after about 9:00 PM but this isn't really the hotel's fault, just location... Check-in: Good service all-round. The girl at the front desk was very... more

The location of the hotel is perfect to visit the town: next to the main attractions, 5 minutes walk from the main station and two streets from the shops and restaurants. As a young person, I found the decoration and the atmosphere very old-fashion. We can see that the hotel is old and need to be a bit refreshed! The... more

My husband and I stayed at the Frederick House Hotel for 3 nights over the Easter holiday weekend. The hotel itself is a little dated but the rooms were comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included but you had to go to a different hotel (Ricks) just a few doors down. This wasn't a problem... more

I loved it. after a horrible experience with the company that i originally booked with (GetMeIn!) Michael was brilliant with fixing me up! (Hi Mike,Its Sandy) Breakfast was less than average. Being a restaurant owner I would expect better than what i got especially since the restaurant itself was quite posh. I guess never judge a book by its cover... more

Good location just off Princes Street. Unaasuming entrance opens to a reception and small lounge. Basically, the rest of the hotel comprises the rooms. Breakfast is provided in a nice restaurant across the road. So if you're just looking for a no-frills room, this will probaby suit. Prices seem OK in off-peak months, but rocket skywards during the edinburgh Festival... more

Best thing about this hotel was its location - close to sites I wanted to visit, museums, restaurants, pubs and shopping. The room was large. But the rooms could use a refurbishing. One drape was hanging partially off the rod, bedspreads were fraying, sheet was torn in the room next door where another family member was staying. The shower curtain... more

I found all aspects of my stay wonderful. The room itself was very large with a decent sized bathroom. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I thought the breakfast was wonderful and the service could not be faulted. They were all extremely accommodating. I would not think twice about staying at this hotel again. more

The hotel itself is fine, but the breakfast arrangements are not. Breakfast is taken in a different business, across the road, called Rick's. This morning, I attempted to have that breakfast. I say attempted, because they twice brought me a breakfast substantially different to the one I had ordered, and then said "I'm not getting you a third breakfast" and... more
