Great location

Advertising stated double room had an ensuite and breakfast was included but this was not so. Ensuite was across the hall and breakfast was available downstairs at a cost. There were 70 steps to get to the room. Very disappointing.

The room was very nice and the porter met us in the stairwell to help us with our bags. There is no front desk everything is communicated via email of the app.

We came to Edinburgh during Fringe, and staying here put us just around the corner from great events, plus lots of shopping, restaurants, and bars.

Booked due to location. Luggage storage was around the corner and not on site. Bathroom across the hall from room. Matress was comfortable although sheets not cotton. Kept up to date with email messages. Room was warm though a fan was provided.

The room was clean and comfortable but not what I expected for a luxury double room. The bath was private but not in the room. If that is important to you I would check with the hotel to check where the bath would be for the room provided you.

The Hotel was good with a good location. It was what it was for the money they charged. Perfectly acceptable for our stay

Location was great. Facilities were very clean. Beds were comfortable. Stairs were a killer! Steep and many of them. Problems with the boiler and no hot water one day; was repaired by late afternoon. Wouldn't stayt here again because of the stairs.

It was cute & cozy! It had everything we needed.

Excellent location! Excellent service! Spacious room - very clean!

Our room was nice sized and very clean. The view was nice too. Look out the window to the left and see the castle, look right and you can see the water. There is no reception desk, it’s a self check in room. Ours was on the 3rd floor and there is no lift but we managed it fine with just carryon luggage. Anything larger and it would have been very difficult.

Loved the charm and the amazing location!

Room was comfortable and spacious. Bathroom was very nice, with modern fittings. Bed was huge and comfortable, too. If I had to be picky, it would be good to have a couple of bottles of water as well as the tea and coffee and biscuits already included. The hinges to the door to the bathroom could do with lubricating to stop the squeaking. Really picky, as it was a really lovely room for what we needed. Thank you.

We had a great stay here in Edinburgh for a few days. Communication was great, any questions were answered quickly. The location was good, we were able to walk or uber up the hill to the city center.

Perfect place to sleep after a busy day of sightseeing! The convenience of storing our luggage was very appreciated

It was in a good location safe and clean. I would definitely stay there again

Great stay, excellent communication from the team, even though we never actually saw anyone in person they gave excellent instructions for the keys, rooms, and property. Nice and close to train station and old town and the castle.

The room was spacious and clean. The porter Ricky was very helpful and friendly. He gave us some great tips on places to viait and eat. The location was great. The only negative ia that it's a 3 story walk up without an elevator. We would stay here again.

The room was clean, quiet and comfortable within walking distance to public transportation, restaurants and all major attractions.

The accommodations were clean, quiet and comfortable. Walking distance to all major attractions.

1. It is definitely not for senior citizens. Climbing up 4 flights of steep stairs, with a bag is difficult. Even otherwise, the climb was difficult. 2. The shower installation definitely needs a safety bar to hold on to. 3. There is a pervasive smell in the toilet. Possibly the sewerage pipes need to be looked at. 4. One expected at least one housekeeping round in a 6 days stay. 5. A few hooks to hang ones clothes in the bathroom would help. 6. The room itself was cozy with subdued decor. 7. Nice view of the city 8. Comfortable bed and good pillows. 9. The kettle could do with a longer wire! 10. The sink is too small. Water spilled every time it was used. 11. One ceiling light was missing.

To avoid. We stayed 4 days and the shower didn't work (no water) the whole time. They didn't give us another room. They just offered an access to the staff shower. It's not really what we expected for a romantic weekend. But the real problem was they just didn't care. When I messaged them to tell the problem should deserved a compensation they just never answered. At all. They are crooks and if you have a problem you just will be on your own.

Definitely recommended for a short stay in Edinburgh. Super central location (in between the old and new town, close to public transport and walking distance to the main attractions); spacious and very clean room (with a private toilet); easy self check-in procedure.

Such a beautiful place. Really loved it!

No toilet in room toilet out in the landing didn’t know how to get into toilet banister for so called grand staircase was dangerous wobbly if you need to rely on it you’re screwed bed mattress was far far to soft sat on it and nearly hit the floori know it was cheap but still not worth the money wee never even stayed went to another place would definitely not recommend 53 Fredrick st to any one

Clean ,quiet and caretaker on site was very helpful

Nice enough room. Clean but my allergies were intense so I know dust mites were an issue. The best was super low to the ground which was not only uncomfortable but also likely part of the problem with my allergies. I did have a few questions that I reached out to the owners about on What's app as the had contacted me there previously, but never got replies.

Spotlessly clean. Large bathroom and very comfy bed! Couldn’t get the shower to work very well. It was either scalding hot or cold. Rooms are up several flights of stairs so if you have heavy cases or bad knees this place is not for you!

We really enjoyed our stay! Rooms were cute and clean and we would definitely stay again.

This was properly one of the most weird travel experiences ever. It started with getting spams of emails, what's app and SMS from the guest house, where they send you codes for how to enter the building and how to find your keys and your room. That is the only contact you will have with any of the staff, for the rest you are let alone. The guesthouse is very poorly accessible for people with special needs, you need to walk 4 stairs up to reach your room, without any elevators. The room is decent in size, but has a non-functional tv. The bath room smelled terrible upon arriving, something you can get only rid of by continously letting the airco in the bathroom blowing which makes a sound that is inpossible to sleep with. Also, the heating in the bathroom cannot be turned off, so it was heating up all the time; the only way to get back to a normal temperature was to open the rooms window, which of course is not the best environmentally friendly way to save energy. Overal the room was also quite dirty and full of dust. During my three night stay, there was no room service. All together, even for Edinburgh standards, a very poor experience and not something I would recommend to someone at all.

I had a lovely stay.

The place is very convenient. Easy to get to public transport. Not far from the surrounding attractions!
