Some people seem to confuse the Thistle Hotel with the Thistle so be careful which one you are referring to. My daughter and I had a great room out the back and we were also able to get our room 3 hours early. The staff were very helpful and the room and beds were excellent. We did not book for... more

Was attracted to this hotel due to the location, it being just off Princes Street, and also due to finding the rooms at a greatly reduced rate on the Visit Scotland website. My mother booked the hotel & recieved email confirmation from both Visit Scotland and the Thistle Hotel itself. It was when we got to the Hotel the problems... more

We, my husband and I stayed here for a city break in July 2008. The hotel is in a brilliant spot just off Princes St. in the middle of town. Lovely people, lovely room, lovely food though pricey.

I stayed at the Thistle Edinburgh for one night whilst on business. My first choice of hotel, the Balmoral was fully booked so my secretary booked this one instead as it was just over the road. First impressions of the hotel are really bad. The hotel itself is situated above a shopping centre and the exterior looks like a 1960's... more
