The Frederick House Hotel is a handsome townhouse property situated amid the Georgian splendour of Edinburgh’s New Town. Spacious, with high ceilings, the 44 guestrooms are appointed in a homely, traditional style, with attractively patterned wallpaper and bedding. All are non-smoking and all but one have en suite bathrooms with bath/shower combos. The hotel does not have its own dining room, but a hearty Scottish breakfast is served at Rick’s Restaurant, in the boutique hotel just across the road. The nearest car park to this hotel is the NCP on James Street, costing roughly £10 for 24 hours (at July 2008).
