We had a fabulous stay at this hotel, after quite a few stairs up to the property (there is step free access just Google ahead). Front desk staff were very friendly, the hotel smells amazing. We had a great view of the city and appreciated the kitchen area. Couldn't figure out how to put the shower or taps on so we had a little bit of help with this (twist and twist some more) but everything was perfect the location was great and we got a lovely Sunday lunch close to the hotel at Lookenbooths (great cocktails there too).

Great location. Odd position of room, first floor on a steep hillside, small windows; room is dark, feels like a dungeon. Receptionist staff checking us in was pretty much the opposite of everything the word “hospitality” embodies.

Great location and overall the property was ok but the room itself only had one window in the bedroom which meant when the door was closed the lounge/kitchen/2nd sleeping area had no natural light. There were flies in the secondary glazing and the general finish of the room wasn’t high end. Overall though these are small details but they do mount up. However the location and service we very good

Great! Excellent customer service! Easy access to many great sight seeing destinations. Would stayed here again and recommend it to friends and family! We are older and wished we had gone to the castle and other great attractions early in the morning. By the afternoon we had walked so much we were too tried to keep our afternoon appointment to go to the castle. Also we used taxis but within a few days we started finding buses that ran in the area. I recommend learning the bus schedule as it could save you considerable money. Every where we went the locals were so warm and friendly. We have been to 38 countries and Scotland would be at the top of our list. We look forward to going there again! We definitely recommend Fraser suites!

I traveled with 5 other girls each with our own room and our stay at Fraser Suites was amazing. Nothing can beat the location right on the Royal Mile close to everything. The rooms were clean, modern and a great size! Plus the staff was amazing! They helped us navigate the area, they set up cabs for us to head to the airport early one morning and they always greeted us with the best energy. Would definitely stay here again!

The location is hard to beat. Most of the staff was super friendly and helpful. There was a girl at the front desk, she sounded Russian or Eastern European, and she really seemed to have it out for us for some reason. She would fight requests, where the other guys working would easily oblige (mostly in regards to coffee, which seems an odd thing to try and hold hostage) and she acted like we were complete idiots when we asked questions. Had a back of the house attitude if you ask me. As far as the room goes, we felt like we were kind of shoved in the basement. It was absolutely frigid the whole time. We had the heat cranked up and left our card in the wall so that the heat would stay on while we were out, but it never warmed up to a completely comfortable temperature and I think there was a governor on the thermostat. The bathroom looked like it had flooded at some point. All the grout was loose and breaking, which made it feel like it wasn't that clean. Beds was comfortable and we heard no complaints from our pull-out sleeper, which is actually quite a feat.

I am sorry you felt that the person’s country of origin was a factor in the welcome you received. Sometimes, when traveling outside your home country, meeting people from other countries can be misunderstood.I am not sure what a ‘back of house’ attitude is, but I really hope that when you highlighted this to the other members of the team, they were able to assist you.Our rooms are spread across various floors. I can see that you were located on the 2nd floor. The feedback about the room is very valuable, and I will ask our team to look into this straight away.Kind wishes,

Beautiful hotel in an amazing location - right in the heart of the city. Our room boasted luxury finishings, a kitchenette and stunning views overlooking the city. Everything was perfect with the exception of arriving by car and having no place to unload - I was ticketed while stopped in front of the building to unload my suitcases. Would probably be fine if I had dropped my bags with concierge and parked the car elsewhere immediately but, instead, I loaded them up into my room which seems to have resulted in a fine.

All round a fantastic place to stay with attentive and friendly staff. Only stayed two nights, however; they were able to move us after the first night because of noise from the elevator. Giving 5 stars would be unfair to 5 star establishments, but we were more than happy and will gladly stay there again the next time down in Edinburgh.

Couple & a dog weekend stay
I booked a studio room to celebrate my fiance's birthday in Edinburgh with our Labradoodle in tow. We had a wonderful stay & the team were super friendly (& couldn't get enough of our dog!). One lady on reception (Angela iirc) couldn't do enough for us. We left our luggage before check in and after check out which was really convenient. The bed was really comfy & lots of thoughtful touches that go a long way in the room (tea/coffee/milk, robes, toiletries, even a lovely handwritten card). Not to mention the location - really in the centre for everything - we could hear bagpipes from the Royal Mile with our window open which was lovely. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we'll definitely be back!

Outstanding service and location (just off the Royal Mile). We stayed from December 27th, 2023 to January 3rd, 2024. Staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and always a pleasure to deal with. The facilities were well taken care of and the room amenities (coffee!) were kept refilled on a daily basis. We had two suite rooms for a family of 5 and were very comfortable. Absolutely no complaints! To cap it off, the hotel gifted us with a bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate Hogmanay! I would definitely recommend and would most definitely return.

This location was everything. It is central. The perfect location to get anywhere in town. With stunning views atop the city we could see the beautiful Christmas market from our window on one side and Saint Giles Church on the other. The room was fantastic. Gorgeous, clean, and beautiful amenities. A couple of my favorite features was the grand windows to view the city and the large, soaking tub that I enjoyed after busy days of walking the city. I can’t say enough about this beautiful place. I will absolutely come back here again.
