What a wonderful place to stay!!! I had been to Edinburgh before but this time stayed at the Thistle at 59 Manor place which made the trip even more worth while. Edinburgh is nothing like Switzerland where I come from but my friends and I just loved it. This hotel has definitely the most welcoming staff and atmosphere possible, always... more

We booked this hotel for two nights in Edinburgh, based mainly on price and on its location, which is unbeatable for access to the Royal Mile and to New Town. As other reviewers have noted, the fabric of the hotel is really showing its age. The hotel is underneath the St James shopping centre, with internal access to the mall,... more

Upon arrival we were told that there was no twin room booked, so after some rearranging of bookings we were given a twin room on the top floor. There is no lift in this hotel so we were constantly walking up and down many flights of stairs. Not good when you have a bad back. Hotel was clean although very... more

This Hotel is fantastic, we had a great time. This is the Thistle Hotel at 59 Manor Place. It is a family runned hotel with 12 bedrooms. When we arrived at the hotel the receptionist helped us with directions to the castle and princes st. Princes Street is only a 5 minute walk away. The room was perfect and the... more

This is the Thistle Hotel in Manor Place where I stayed for 2 nights on business. They wanted payment when I arrived which seemed a little unusual. My room was spacious and nicely decorated. Shame about the lamp with no bulb, the barely warm radiator, the shaving light that did not work and the tepid shower. I presume the hotel... more

Be very careful when you are reading reviews because when I was researching the hotel I found lots of times it was mixed up with the thistle on Leith St. which... more

After reading some of the reviews here we were a little hesitatn making the booking. The Thistle is just off Princes Street and Close to the North Bridge which means the old town is just a give minute or so walk from the front door, despite that you are very much staying in the new town area. Off the third... more

After booking this hotel for three people got our confirmation for two people phoning to change three times before we thought they had got it. It had on confirmation executive room but when we arrived they had it only for two people in a junior suite. Eventually the housekeeper Babs got it organised and we got two adjoining rooms. Breakfast... more
