Great place on the southside of Edinburgh. Charming location. Very quite, serene and peaceful yet close to a main artery... Dalkeith Road. No complains. We booked a double but were upgraded to a JUMBO family room becaue it was vacant. Good portions at breakfast. Worth a visit. A whole team of very willing staff. more

I booked this on the of chance to spend some time with my sister and mother who came to visit me from Greece, the welcome was unbelievable from George the manager, I am not sure if he was the owner, anyway he showed us to our family room which was beautiful, but the best thing of all he came from... more

Great place. Spotless, clean and well managed. Situated in a street that has a lot of other guest houses. Huge breakfast and well presented with very very welcoming staff.

The rooms are tastefully decorated. I would strongly recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet serine place to... more

I would recommend anyone whom is thinking of staying at this guesthouse to avoid it all costs. First of all there is NO reception area. None of the staff are from the U.K and barely speak English. They serve cheap and nasty Lidl breakfast and the dining room is so cramped and outdated. The rooms are not as described and... more

I had a pleasant stay at the Thistle House. Owners and staff were very professional, helpful and patient even though there was a loud group there due to some international rugby or football match. Breakfast...plenty to choose. Great more
