The Room – A Favorite for Families in Edinburgh

The Room is a guest house within Fraoch House, offering Standard Double, Superior Double, and Single rooms with private external bathroom. Each room includes a tea and coffee maker, electric kettle, hairdryer, free toiletries, TV, wardrobe, and heating. Guests receive a daily complimentary bottle of water, a chocolate bar, and a Tunnock's Wafer in the room.

The Superior Double rooms have an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub and shower, praised for excellent water pressure and quick heating. Single rooms come with a private bathroom across the hall, also with a shower and clean toiletries. Bathrooms are stocked with large bottles of toiletries, and the bathroom comfort is rated highly by guests.

The property is located on a quiet street, 1.9 km from Edinburgh Waverley station and 1.7 km from the Royal Mile. A bus stop sits directly opposite the house, with regular services to the city centre and Leith, taking about 15 minutes to Princes Street. Leith Walk is a 10-minute walk away, offering cafes, pubs, shops, and tram connections to the airport.

Staff at the reception greet guests with a pot of real coffee and biscuits upon arrival, and provide city maps and tips. Every day, brownie-like sweets are available at the reception area, and complimentary chocolates are replenished in the room. The reception staff speak English and Polish, and are available via app for any requests.
