    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, situated in a quiet street close to Haymarket station. It was on the tram line, which made it easy to explore the city center and its surroundings. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, and the staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive. The hotel facilities were also impressive, especially the breakfast options. I had a great experience.

    Nothing that I didn't like.

    This hotel is a great value for money, with affordable prices and excellent attention to detail. Located in a quiet neighborhood close to St Mary's Cathedral, it offers a peaceful atmosphere with many restaurants nearby. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service, and basic amenities were provided in the rooms, including a seriously run down shower. I particularly enjoyed my double bedroom with a beautiful view of the castle. Additionally, breakfast was included and served each morning.

    All aspects of my stay were satisfactory.

    The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the city center and its main attractions. Guests have mentioned that it is close enough to easily access the hustle and bustle of the city, but far enough to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere.

    Some guests have mentioned that the hotel could benefit from updates and renovations to give it a more modern and refreshed appearance.

    Convenient location, helpful staff, charming building with character. No elevator, so be prepared for stairs. Close to city center and other attractions.

    I had an unforgettable stay at Thistle Hotel in Edinburgh. The location was perfect for exploring the city. The building had a beautiful, traditional charm, and the Christmas decorations added to the cozy atmosphere. The staff, particularly Spencer, were welcoming and helpful. The lounge with the log fire was a great place to relax and meet locals. The continental breakfast was delicious, with a variety of options. The room I stayed in was clean, comfortable, and had all the necessary amenities. I felt at home during my stay and would definitely book again for my next visit to Edinburgh. I highly recommend this hotel.
