* The location was great. * You do have to walk up some steps to get into the B&B but they weren't a problem for us. * Staff are friendly and helpful. * We booked a double room with en-suite but when we arrived we were given a family room with 2 single beds extra. The room was nice and... More

Great location, so easy to walk to from the station ~10mins and to get to all the major sites. Tessa was really friendly and welcoming and helpful with advice for the city and things to do. Breakfast at ricks was great, really sets you up for a day walking around. I agree with the other reviews about the stairs but... More

This B&B is what you would expect from this kind of accommodation in a big city. The location is excellent, central but not too much in order to avoid noise. The rooms are big and clean and there is everything you need. The B&B is on the second floor and there is no lift; I think you just need to... More

We have just returned from a trip to Edinburgh and beyond, and stayed at 53 Frederick for 4 nights. You just can't beat the location for walking distance or short bus rides to all major sites. We loved walking the streets of Edinburgh night or day. The guesthouse rooms are plenty large, well appointed and lots of storage space to... More

We have just returned from a weekend away in Edinburgh, staying at 53 Frederick Street for two nights and have had a perfect weekend. From our arrival to our departure Tess could not have been more helpful or accommodating; including recommending the best tours to go on, places to visit and eat as well as providing discount vouchers. Our twin... More

The tall georgian building stands between George and Queen street with loads of places to eat around it. The room we had was large and reasonably clean, what you would expect. Breakfast has been passed over to a bistro down stairs which is unusual but works fine. There are two things to be aware of. Firstly, lots of steps. You... More

I stayed there in October 2009 and loved the place. The location is great, right in the city centre. My room was spatious and spotlessly clean. Breakfast at Ricks was delicious. David and Tessa were very nice and helpful. Will definitely return and recommend! More

I stayed at no 57 in September and once I had got used to the stairs I just loved the place. We had a great room and the service was exceptional right down to David and Tessa's dad taking me in the car to see the fictitious Scotland Street, giving us Edinburgh travel tips and generally just been so helpful....

No. 53 is in an ideal location and the rooms are some of the best we have stayed in. We were made aware of the stairs and they did not present any problem. Traffic noise was no more than could be expected for a capital city. Beds were very comfortable, room spotless, and the welcome friendly. We were happy that... More
