Perfect spot for getting round the city with the no. 11 bus right outside! Room spacious and kept in the best possible condition. Have to pay extra for breakfast but worth it, however plenty of choices close by.

The B&B is about a 8-10 minute walk from the tram station that runs to & from the airport (the stop closest is Balfour St). Our room was in the lowest floor (below street level), and was a good size. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fine; plenty of hot water (though the water heater made a loud noise when in use). They provided a bottle of filtered water, chocolate bars, tea and instant coffee, along with a hot pot. I couldn't figure out the TV, so I didn't bother with it; it was connected to a DVD player, and there were movies to borrow upstairs. The host was very helpful in regard to getting around the town; he told us that a bus stopped right across from the house that went into the royal mile area. We had no trouble getting UBERs from there. Also, the Tram was an easy way to the port of Leith where we visited the Royal Yacht Britannia.

What a great place! We felt so fancy being welcomed with biscuits and drinks and a short explanation of the surrounding area. Perfect for us!

Spacious room, comfortable beds and modern en suite. The fan already in the room was especially welcomed during the warm spell. Excellent breakfast! On bus lines into the city center. Very helpful staff.

プリンセスストリートからトラムで４駅、balfour streetが近いです。駅の周りには飲食店、スーパーマーケットがあり便利です。徒歩５分位の住宅街にあり、静かな環境です。ホテルの目の前にバス停があり、立地はいいと思います。チェックインの時間前でしたが、清掃している間コーヒーをサービスしてもらい少しだけ待って利用できました。ドアが薄いのか玄関の出入りの音が少し気になりましたが？それ以外は快適でした。ドライヤー、バスアメニティはありました。部屋は清潔でした。良いホテルだと思います。

This was a quaint establishment - a cross between an AB&B and hotel It had a shared fridge , little dining area and very friendly staff to help us up the stairs with our luggage , borrow us an extra converter and charger and provide assistance on so many other levels ! Rooms were clean and provided coffee, toiletries and a closet to hang a few things . I would highly recommend them !!

We had a lovely stay, mathew the owner was so helpful regarding buses etc. The bus stop to princess street is directly outside the hotel. My only criticism and its a more personal one is being type 1 diabetic there was no alternatives to sugar in hot drinks at breakfast or in the room, bathroom window couldnt be opened, like i say very small gripes. Other than that me and my mam had a fantastic stay, breakfast was beautiful and the room was lovely and spacious. Would definitely recommended this B&B

We enjoyed our stay and were able to walk to most of the Edinburgh highlights and also had the option of easy public transit. The room was extremely comfortable and the staff was very accommodating.

Fraoch House was wonderful. The accommodations were excellent, situated in a lovely neighborhood conveniently situated a brief bus ride from Old Town Edinburgh. Would most certainly recommend.

Check in was the best I've ever had! Tea or coffee with shortbread in the front room, Matthew went through all the details and gave some great info of the area, helped with bus times too. The accomodation is stunning, beautifully decorated, comfortable bed, quiet, lots of extras too. Nice to see some eco refills for bathroom shampoo/soap etc.

Staff were very nice and extremely helpful. Great location to hop on the bus and travel to locations if you choose not to walk. The room was clean, slept in comfortable beds and the pillows were comfortable too. We highly recommend Fraoch House to stay while in Edinburgh.

Chris • Couple Trip

Very enjoyable stay; excellent room & facilities, well treated & close to all Leith has to offer while the city centre is a no. 11 bus ride away, a fiver day pass getting you the tram as well. Worth the £12 for breakfast, lots of alternatives within walking distance but what you get is worth the cost!
