Should not be a Five Star Hotel
Not to dwell on the negative because this is located at the base of the castle and is a beautifully renovated building and the rooms are stunningly decorated, I felt I got stuck in the room that is the least desireable. It was 106, window right next to the public stairs that when folks would come up the stairs they would make so much noise you thought they were in your room. The mattress was the most uncomfortable I had slept on ever, pillows were like cardboard. No wifi in the rooms, only LAN cable connections which for business travellers a major inconvenience. The staff was very nice, and besides what I mentioned I feel the value was good.

Location amazing.
I visit Edinburgh a lot and since I first stayed at the Fraser Suites, I have never gone anywhere else. The hotel is gorgeous and all the rooms are different. The location is second to none.

Fraser suites is a gorgeous hotel that is located on the royal mile. The window in the room was quite small but the view was great! The bathroom was gorgeous however the fixtures were a little confusing to operate. Overall great experience

Great Hotel
My last two trips to Edinburgh, I stayed in other 5 and 4 star hotels, but neither of them can match the value, comfort, services, or location of the Fraser Suites. It was perfect from beginning to end. We were there during Hogmanay, and the staff went out of their way to ensure that we had a perfect stay. The beds were comfy, the rooms and baths were spacious, and as an American, I found that to be a big plus. The location is perfect....right off the royal Mile, close to the train stain station, and an easy walk to Princess Street Gardens and the shops on Princess Street. I cannot say enough good things about my stay at Fraser Suites Hotel. This is now my hotel of choice when I visit Edinburgh.

Great hotel in a great location
This hotel was a great find when we traveled in October 2011. Rooms were modern and comfortable but didn't seem to have any air conditioning. Fine for the fall weather when we stayed. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to see. If you want to stay in the old town at a nice looking hotel this will be hard to beat.

Short walk from hotel
Breakfast in the hotel was very popular (i.e., long wait for hot food), but didn't wow us. We went next door our second day and had quicker service at a much cheaper price.

Fraser Suites Edinburgh October 2011
We were visiting Scotland for a couple of days and we were very pleased with this hotel in Edinburgh that we stayed at. Restaurants and attractions are all a short walk away. Except that it does not have internet service, everything else was outstanding. It's one of best hotels we've ever stayed, and we've stayed at over 30 hotels across the US, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, and Europe.

Perfect location
Great place to stay, right in the heart of things, just off the Royal Mile. My only complaint was that the room needed a thorough cleaning. There was a large swath of the shower that had mould and mildew and the floors could have stood to be really cleaned. Otherwise, location and the design aesthetic were great.

The cafe next door is a lovely place for breakfast or a glass of wine later in the day.
