Spacious & Comfortable

“I was pleasantly surprised by the size of our room. The Classic Beautiful Twin had a lovely big window offering a fantastic view of the surroundings. It was so comfortable that I didn't want to leave! The presence of a small kitchenette with a tiny refrigerator and microwave was incredibly convenient for enjoying a quick coffee or snack in the morning.” view full review

Perfect Walk-in Shower

“One of the highlights of my stay was the wonderfully designed bathroom in our new room. The walk-in shower was exactly what I wanted—spacious and easy to use. It was refreshing to have access to this feature, especially since I prefer showers over a bath. Plus, the towel heating rack worked exceptionally well, giving that extra touch of warmth during my stay.” view full review

Great Wifi Access

“I found the wifi in the room to be excellent! It allowed me to stay connected to family and friends back home without any hassle. Being able to upload photos and research nearby attractions quickly made my overall experience much more enjoyable.” view full review

My stay at Fraser Suites Edinburgh was a mixed experience. The location was excellent, just a short stroll from the Royal Mile and many attractions. However, there were a number of issues with the suite, such as the noisy environment and some appliances not functioning properly. Overall, while I appreciated the amenities and the friendly front desk staff, I was left a bit disappointed given my expectations for a higher-rated hotel.

Rooms

The junior suite was cozy but felt a bit small for the price. Some details were rough around the edges, like loose doors in the kitchen. The bathroom was nice, with heated towel racks and instant hot water.

While the hotel has some nice amenities listed, I found that the restaurant had limited options and was essentially a burger bar, which was a letdown compared to other Fraser properties I've visited.
