I traveled for business and the apartment was very convenient for a short stay (2 nights). The room was designed in a smart way, maximizing the availability of utilities in a small room, including private bathroom. Access to shared kitchen, with free water/cofee/tea. Bus stops in front of apartment and short distance to railway station to continue your journey. Excellent location to have an evening walk (Royal Mile only 100 m distance). Great place for short stay, with easy check-in (hand-over of keys by owner after agreed time slot) and check-out (simply leaving keys in the room).

Nothing I didn't like for my short stay.

Had everything I required and more. Shaheen and Julie could not have been more helpful. Just a short, half block walk to the Royal Mile. Shaheen was in contact via text to confirm arrival time and ensure I found the place. I arrived a bit early and Julie was there to greet me, let me in and show me the facilities. Room was so well equipped with hair dryer, hair straightener, magnifying mirror, plentiful towels, comfortable and firm bed, TV and great hot water. The communal kitchen(which I did not expect) had tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, even a washing machine! There was even a bathroom with a full bath to relax in after walking the city. Across the road was a Sainsburys market and the block was full of food shops. As a single woman travelling in a city I didnt know, I felt secure and safe as there were locks on front door, internal door and my room door.I just loved Thistle City Inn, would definitely stay again and recommend to all my friends.

Nothing I didn't like. It was perfect.

Great location in the city centre, spotlessly clean,everything and more that you would need amenities wise with everything very modern and up to date. Our host Shaheen went beyond to help us out when our trains were delayed to hold our luggage there in the meantime. Smaller touches such as fresh bottles of water and hotel biscuits in the kitchen didn’t go unnoticed for us either 😊thank you very much!

Only possible thing we noticed was the windows didn’t keep out much noise but with it being an older building we totally expect that! Especially being in a busy city centre so was by no means an inconvenience, just something to be aware of 🙂

The host was very sweet and explained how everything in the room worked. She was very patient and waiting for us to arrive as we were running late. The room was nice and clean. There was a full self-service kitchen with laundry. We never heard the other guests. The apartment is about one block down from the royal mile. Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance.

There is a bar downstairs and it was loud all through the night. Ear plugs were provided if we needed them. The noise wasn't really an issue for us.

the property was in a central location but at a cheap price during a peak tourism period. the room I was in had an attached wet room (toilet/shower) that was very clean the room also had a good fan for if the room got too hot

I will be honest the room window did back on to a busy area so it could be a bit noisy but there were earplugs provided. the bed was a spring mattress with a single very soft pillow so as a side sleeper i did have some difficulty getting to sleep but if you are a front or back sleeper you will probably be fine

I'm definitely staying here again! Honestly, I almost missed the place upon my arrival. It's just a door on the street, with no sign whatsoever. But the staff was ready to answer Booking.com chat and welcome me. The hotel stays in the perfect location and the room, besides being brand new, exceeded my expectations.

Nothing really. It's just a bit noisy, but I guess that's the price one must pay for staying in the old city center. I would stay here again and again, for sure!

Location is real good, just off the royal mile, short walk from train station . It’s a shared kitchen and there is also an extra bathroom with a bath . The kitchen is really nice with big table and lots of additional appliances. Another plus point was meeting the owner on arrival to get shown security entry etc.

Wife says should have a bathroom bin, not an issue for us but there is quite a bit of late night pub noise, this was worse due to warm weather and having window open

The location was great, we were so close to the Royal Mile. Lots of restaurants, convenience stores, etc.

Our room was right across the street from a bar so it was really loud at night, people laughing, screaming. It was nice they provided earplugs but still it was really loud.

Place is so good. Really clean and new furnitures. Dear Aisha is really kind and nice. Nice stone building. you suppose that you will be underground when you go down from the entrance of the building, you see the clean and nice and also high flat after opening the flat door.

There is no any name outwall of building. Even small plate. A little bit noisy because of street. Probably because of echo in narrow street and stone building. It could be done a curtain noice barrier just below the windows to break the noice not to reache the upside.

The room is spacious. Bathrooms are clean and spacious as well. It feels like a new property and all the accessories are pretty good. Location is very near to all the attractions in old town. Location is the best part I would say.

It is bit noisy from the bar right below on the adjacent street. But if it doesnt bother you much then its fine. The heater was an issue as it dint work properly.
