This was the one on Leith, under St. James, near Waverly Stn. The bed was terrible - All I could feel was springs! Otherwise, the room was ok. The internet is outsourced to BT and way too expesive - 10 Lbs for 24 hours. The Scottish breakfast was ok. more

Stayed for 4 nights. Arrived to see the hotel owner involved in a screaming match with one of the guests who complained about the lack of hot water for a shower (i can assure everyone that thinks of travelling there that the water situation is awful). The rooms were clean enough, but very dated. No food was served, despite the... more

What a wonderful place to stay!!! I had been to Edinburgh before but this time stayed at the Thistle at 59 Manor place which made the trip even more worth while. Edinburgh is nothing like Switzerland where I come from but my friends and I just loved it. This hotel has definitely the most welcoming staff and atmosphere possible, always... more

We booked this hotel for two nights in Edinburgh, based mainly on price and on its location, which is unbeatable for access to the Royal Mile and to New Town. As other reviewers have noted, the fabric of the hotel is really showing its age. The hotel is underneath the St James shopping centre, with internal access to the mall,... more

Upon arrival we were told that there was no twin room booked, so after some rearranging of bookings we were given a twin room on the top floor. There is no lift in this hotel so we were constantly walking up and down many flights of stairs. Not good when you have a bad back. Hotel was clean although very... more

When we arrived at the hotel the receptionist helped us with directions to the castle and princes st. Princes Street is only a 5 minute walk away. The room was perfect and the... more

This is the Thistle Hotel in Manor Place where I stayed for 2 nights on business. They wanted payment when I arrived which seemed a little unusual. My room was spacious and nicely decorated. Shame about the lamp with no bulb, the barely warm radiator, the shaving light that did not work and the tepid shower. I presume the hotel... more
