Thistle Hotel - A Georgian townhouse with castle views in Edinburgh's West End

Located in Edinburgh's prestigious West End, this classical Georgian EDI hotel features 16 individually designed en-suite rooms. The Thistle Hotel occupies a period building that has maintained its original architectural elements while offering modern amenities. Each room includes a digital TV, free Wi-Fi, tea/coffee facilities, an in-room safe, and a private bathroom with towel warmers. Select rooms provide direct views of Edinburgh Castle, particularly striking during evening illuminations. The Manor Bar, complete with a wood-burning stove, serves an array of single malt whiskies, wines, and cocktails. A continental breakfast featuring fresh croissants from Donachie Bakers, cereals, and fruits is available. The property stands 0.5 miles from the Edinburgh International Conference Centre and 1 mile from Princes Street. Haymarket Train Station is a 5-minute walk away, while Edinburgh Airport connects via a 25-minute Airlink bus service.

Pros

Wood-burning stove provides warmth during winter months

Cons

“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.”
