Not to be confused with the chain of hotels under the same name, this delightful establishment is full of character and helpful staff. The location in a quiet and pleasant street is a relatively short distance from the City Centre. The building is traditional with tall, clean, spacious rooms. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and the breakfasts... More

We had a really lovely time here. What made it so special were the outstandingly friendly staff who couldn't do enough to ensure we had a good holiday. In the evening we ate in their resturant and the spagehitte carbobnara was smashing - and far more than I could eat! More

In a location that is quiet but within walking distance of Haymarket and the City Centre. The hotel is clean & comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Really enjoyed the Scottish breakfast and loved the character of the building. Would definitely stay there again More

Very pleasant and helpful staff. The hotel is set in a traditional terrace of stone mansions, with high ceilings, ornate cornices and a grand stair-well. It's in a quiet area a few minutes walk from Haymarket, and close enough to access the city centre on foot (handy as nearby Haymarket is in the throes of tramway construction and traffic snarl-ups.)...

In a nice, quiet location that is easy walking to the city's centre - this accommodation is terrific value for money. A lovely bar area downstairs with a fine selection of whiskies and ales was an added bonus! The bedroom was spacious and clean and the shower hot. The continental breakfast the next day was adequate. Greg on reception was... More

I spent six nights at the Thistle hotel and was upgraded to a double room on my arrival, which was a pleasant surprise after a particularly long journey. The room was clean, comfortable, stylish and spacious, and the hotel itself is very homely and pleasant; the downstairs lounge bar was always a warm and welcoming place with a mix of... More
