Actually I thought I was booking into a member of the "Thistle" Hotel chain - silly me - this is a small hotel not part of a chain. But I wasn't disappointed as I didn't need a Business Centre or Health Club. Nicely located that you could walk into Edinburgh Royal Mile if you felt fit. No hotel car park,... more

There is always two ways of a story and I am shocked by this review I was staying at the Thistle Hotel on January 2009 and I need to say that this place have a very fantastic aura, helpful staff and cozy, warm rooms, I even have plasma TV in my room which was by the way freshly decorated.

We stayed at this hotel last week. The rooms were spacious and clean. The owners of the hotel were there and very accomodating. Their son helped to run the hotel and he was very friendly.

Be warned this review is not for the faint hearted and whilst I will do all I can to keep it objective it will be dificult. I set this review against a wealth of experience in hotel stays both in the UK and abroad. I stop on average once a week in hotels in Scotland so I clearly feel experienced... more

Great hospitality, excellent all you can eat fry up in the morning, huge comfortable double bed. Very central... Cant really say anything bad about this place except maybe our promise of a... more
