The Thistle House Edinburgh Guest Reviews
We were very happy with the room - it was quite large with a TV and a nice view. It was up 2 flights of stairs, but that was ok! The ensuite was small but clean (the floor in front of the shower was VERY weak and creaky..usually tried to step over it!). Initially our introduction to the care taker was a bit rude - he hadn't yet received our booking notification and he wasn't impressed that we had woken him up (at 4pm!!) but once he went through the paperwork he was very nice and helpful, helping us to our room and answering any questions we had about the area. Breakfast was nice, an extra 5GBP for the hot meal, but this was explained to us and we had the option. Overall we were very happy with this location and would be happy to stay there again if we return to Edinburgh!

A nice B&B with friendly service at a good price. Short walk from town (though we found takes a little longer in deep snow!). Only minor quibble would be that our room was a little chilly (large ground floor double) - Though we were in the middle of Arctic conditions with 2ft of snow outside. Our friends twin room on 1st floor was toasty warm however.

We arrived late at night as indicated but the proprietor seemed surprised and reluctant to let us enter. After that awkward moment he acted like a real gentleman. Place was nice and comfortable and I would recommend it for budget travellers which we were.

A basic B&B. It was a short 20 min bus ride (at just over 1 pound) from Edinburgh CDB. No restaurant is nearby, though there was quite a good chinese restaurant 1 to 2 km away towards town with a very friendly proprietor.

For the price, this hotel was fine. Checkin experience was poor as I was told I would have a room without an ensuite toilet or shower (not indicated at the time of the booking) and had to pay extra for a room with ensuite facilities. I was also told I had to pay 2% surcharge for using a credit card and a lot of pressure was put on me to pay cash. I used a debit card in the end. Room was clean but beds were old and uncomfortable. I would not choose to stay here again.
