The Fraoch House is a very quaint house. The bedroom and bathroom was was clean. I took a star off because the property is a little dated overall. But I was very happy with the proximity to the royal mile and convenience overall.

Compact unit, not very roomy but clean, good to stay a few days for 2 people. Staff were very friendly and helpful. 25 minute walk to city, plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby. Bus stops outside property (bus # 11) from the city and bustop to city is across the road. 5 minute walk to tram which will take you to the airport. Good location, well worth staying.

Great place for a great price. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, the room was clean, sizable and well equipped, and the location while a bit far from the city center was directly across from a bus stop into the city. Breakfast was also standout, and I’d recommend getting it as the nearby cafes are mediocre at best.

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.

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!

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 !!

Excellent Experience!

I had a great stay at Fraoch House! Comfortable and very clean room! Very friendly and helpful staff! Great location, quiet neighborhood but with many amenities nearby. Short distance from the center on foot, but there is also a bus line that stops in front of the hotel. Excellent value for money!
