The King James By Thistle Guest Reviews

Super hotel in great location. Handy for shopping and theatre. Staff attentive and professional. Nice room with very comfortable bed. Bathroom small but functional.


3 out of 5

The location was very good but I didn't find the staff very friendly or helpful. The concierge didn't know where any of the restaurants were located. The shower dripped loudly and wouldn't turn off. There was no alarm clock, not enough towels or pillows.

Great location in the heart of Edinburgh. A nice bar/restaurant at the hotel where you could relax with a drink and nice meal.

Excellent and clean hotel in a prime location!! The only one issue was the fact it says on their website "City centre locations often cause difficulties parking but The King James offers private on site car parking for 20 cars." - they fail to say this will cost you £15!!

This was a booking for my elderly parents. Staff could have been slightly more helpful, or aware, given my parents age and disabilities.

We were delighted with our stay at the Thistle Hotel in Edinburgh. The service was above the call of duty and the food was superb. We wouold definitely stay there again, it's central location met all of our needs. We will surely be recommending it to our friends.

Fantastic location, just of Prince st, opposite Waverley station. Rooms clean and very well sound proofed. I didn't use the restaurant so can't comment on that but communal areas very clean, staff very friendly. Would recommend.

The room was an ideal stop over and the bed was fabulously comfortable, also the bedlinen was lovely and crisp and fresh and soft. Breakfast was a bit disappointing and staff rather glum in the dining room. otherwise location was perfect for Waverly Station or bus links. would certainly go back.

The hotel is good, but with the over use of staff that speak little English,communication can at time be strained.
