"Our room (the manor suite) was beautiful an felt very traditionally."
"The hotel is situated just outside the centre of Edinburgh in a beautiful house of stature and gradure."
"The Thistle hotel was very urban, in a Scottish town house with high ceilings, a spiral stairway and lovely windows."
Thistle Hotel - A Georgian townhouse with castle views in Edinburgh's West End

“The Thistle's Georgian bones lend it a historical charm, placing guests in Edinburgh's West End near major attractions. While some rooms await refurbishment, the friendly staff and Manor Lounge Bar create a welcoming atmosphere. I think that its location near Haymarket Station and the promise of a Scottish breakfast make it a practical choice for exploring the city.”
