I had an amazing stay at this guest house the staff were very helpful to all my needs. We were in the family en suite it is a spacious room with a good view. My kids had a great time in the back garden. The guest house is near the city centre and close to Arthur seat. Cameron Toll is... More

I would rate the Thistle House as a disappointment. There seemed to be a little confusion about the payment for the room, though I did end up paying what I anticipated (I think.) The location is farther from the city center than I had anticipated. The surrounding neighborhood is a little uncomfortable, and a very loud car alarm went off... More

I was disappointed by this B&B. I was charged £60 a night, more than the price quoted on the website (£25-£40) and by Edlets who I booked through. I went for this rather than chepaer options because it looked really good and the promise of a "sumptuous breakfast". Sadly the standard did not measure up to expectations. The couple that... More

Man took ages to answer the door and was moody, demanding payment before I'd even seen the room! No help with luggage and I felt like an inconvenience. More

1. Hotel staff were VERY friendly! We walked there from the train station in Edinburgh (DON'T do that if you are carrying a lot of things, there're several buses, #2, 14, 30, 33 and 48 of Lothian Bus for example, that stop less than 100m away from the place!) and lost our way. We called the staff and he gave... More

My host was very friendly and laid back. The first night that I arrived he didn't insist that I pay for my room right away. I could wait until the next morning. I was also able to stay an extra night without a fuss. Breakfast was always wonderful. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was modern and... More

I was there last month with my colleague at The Thistle House. The place is marvellous, the rooms are well cleaned, cosy and it's very close to the city centre. The Scottish Breakfast was amazing. Will definitely go back. More

Upon entry the owner/whoever made it abundantly clear that we were an inconvience by yawning multiple times with a frustrated face. And proceeded to ask that we pay everything before we put our bags down. The breakfast was the CHEAPEST and worst tasting 'english' I've had in years and the toilet moves when you sit on it. NEVER returning there. More
