“Thistle City Inn presents beautifully decorated rooms, creating a surprisingly elegant interior beyond its unassuming exterior. The shared kitchen and bathroom, equipped with modern amenities, add practical value, while individual rooms offer well-appointed spaces, including sleeping areas and functional workstations. While some noise and the absence of in-room coffee facilities are minor drawbacks, the secure location and overall cleanliness make it a worthy option.”

Great Amenities and Perfect Location
communal kitchen full bath convenient location
The communal kitchen was unexpected and very useful! It included tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, and even a washing machine. There was a bathroom with a full bath to relax in, after long walks. Sainsburys is just across the road. Many food shops are nearby.
There was some noise at night, but earplugs were provided.

Comfortable Stay Near the Royal Mile
great location hair appliances
the location was fantastic. it was easy to walk to many attractions (i especially enjoyed the nearby royal mile). the room was clean and included both a hairdryer and hair straighteners. the bed offered great comfort.
noise from nearby bars was noticeable until late at night. secondary double glazing could improve sleep quality. i found it hard to fall asleep because of the noise.
Rooms

A bit noisy, but acceptable.
constant noise high noise levels
I was unable to sleep due to location. Pubs, bars, vehicles, and passers by did all contribute to a constant barrage of noise. Bed might as well be in middle of a bar. I was disappointed by the noise levels.
