The hotel is in a wonderful, quiet, clean and friendly location. It was an easy walk from central Edinburgh. The room was changed to a lower floor with access to a large bath , to allow for increased comfort and accessibility whilst I managed a broken leg and back. The suit was clean and the bed was comfortable. The window let in a wonderful amount of light and the flag billowing on the balcony made my stay all-the-more cheerful !!! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

The rooms and building have their own vibe. You don't get that at chain hotels. It is a cozy, locally run hotel with all that comes with it. Friendly staff. Clean and comfy room. Good location. It is not pristine and some things need a lifting up but I just thought that was part of its personality and it does feel homely and nice. Really enjoyed my stay. It is SO close to all the consulates and many cool coffee shops.

From the moment we stepped into this hotel, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome - Andrew you are a STAR! Their warmth and hospitality set the tone for a wonderful stay. The building itself is over 300 years old, which adds a unique and charming vibe to the experience. You can feel the history in every corner, and it truly enhances the ambiance. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. As for the room, it was nothing short of fabulous. Spacious, well-appointed, and with a perfect blend of modern amenities and historic charm. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay!

Love the property, very quaint and rustic. It was about a 10 minute walk from the new town, and about a 20 minute walk to the old town. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Staff were super friendly and they even took our bags up to the fourth floor for us!! (No lift) We had one of two rooms with a castle view, it was the best value for money.

What I liked most about the accommodation was the hospitality of the hotel workers, it is a simple hotel, but very attentive and friendly, also the good connection it has to the centre of Edinburgh, it is great to get a little out of the centre, and the 20-minute walk thanks, especially because on the way you can find cafes and you can start your day in a more cheerful way.

The hotel is lovely, very cute old fashioned but super clean. The room is big and the beds are very comfortable, also the shower very hot. Staff was very kind and location is great, walkable 30min to bus station and close to other bus stops. There was nice breakfast for $9, I didn't opt because I didn't know before, so brought my stuff and there was tea/coffee appliances in the room.

Location was great - about a half-mile in a quiet neighborhood into the city. Being a few blocks from the tram made getting to the airport a snap! Breakfasts were not included, but you could purchase a morning meal - we chose not to (which was a mistake as it was far cheaper than getting breakfast out!)

Thistle is simple, cozy, and has lots of character. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was comfortable. It's an easy walk to Dean's Village, and just a few minutes from the nearest tram station, which makes it an easy shot to the historic center.

Room was very nice sized for the 4 of us. Pullout couch was more comfortable than I thought it would be. Great location with a lot of restaurants nearby.
