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.

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

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.
