We were really impressed with the hotel, we got a deal from last minute, cheapest room so thought they would be tiny rooms however this was wrong the room was massive plenty of space for more than the two of us, thr location is great everythng is within walking distance and the cleanliness is second to non our facilities in... more

The king James is just on Leith Street Edinburgh. could not be better placed to visit Edinburgh. Very clean and tidy. The best bed I have ever slept in Room 614. very good bedroom short of nothing. would recummend. The only draw back or critizem would be the evening meal . I had chicken which was very tough and looked... more

We booked a room with two twin beds for 3 nights. The room was clean and not cramped. The hotel staff was pleasant and helpful. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the Waverly (Edinburgh) train station and is connected to a shopping mall. The bar (Boston Bean) located in the hotel had pretty decent food at reasonable prices... more

In our first room, 549, we were bothered by noise and a view of construction going on across the street. We immediately requested a quieter room and were given Room 418, which had a view of the roofs of an adjacent building. Our bed was very uncomfortable, but a friendly maid got us a padded mattress cover which helped. The... more

This hotel is a pretty average Thistle hotel. Good location near the train station, breakfast was decent and the rooms were comfortable. The real disappointment was from the service! I booked a double room, but was given a twin because the hotel was over booked. The staff were not very helpful, didn't offer any compensation and barely spoke English. There... more

I would start with agreeing with other reviews of this hotel, in that it does have a good location. That is where the good news ends i'm afraid to say, as this is certainly not a 4 star hotel and i judge this on previous stays at Thistle hotels, that are significantly better than this dated, tired and facility shy... more

Lovely hotel. Spacious room, which was very clean. We arrived early (about 10am) and were allowed to occupy the room, since it was ready. Staff were very efficient. We didn't have breakfast, so I can't comment on that, but it seems that breakfast is cheaper if you decide to take the option at the hotel, rather than choosing B&B when... more

I stayed at the Thistle for a couple of nights in a business trip. The location could not be better. Reception was a bit slow but helpful and friendly and the room a bit small but good size bed. Food is tricky: I dine in the restaurant the first night and the lamb stew dish was excellent and I was... more
