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.

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.

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
