The King James by Thistle  

Vänlig och hjälpsam personal. Centralt läge med gångavstånd till järnvässtation, shopping och sevärdheter.

Läget och I viss mån priset på rummet.

Frukostbuffen, speciellt med tanke på priset.

Närheten till City

Frukosten kunde varit mera internationell

Läget var fantastiskt bra med gångavstånd till Princes Street, The Royal Mile, restauranger, viktiga attraktioner och shoppingställen.

God men onödigt dyr frukost.

En glad överraskning var att vi forsta gangen placerades i en svit (vi hade beställt ett dubbelrum). Det var naturlitvis värt mycket.Hotellet är ingalunda vackert utanpa (betong, betong ...) men inuti är det prydligt och fint.Vi tyckte förstås också om priset (74 pund men obs att frukosten betalas extra.

Vi bodde tva extra natter hotellet. Vi upptackte 1( att Thistles centralbokning per telefon ar hopplost byrakratisk, att bestalla ett rum en extra natt tog 10/12 minuter med nya fragor/och nya froknar/ hela tiden. Forst nar hotellets egen bokning kopplades in blev det ratt. 2( Frukostrummet saknade ocksa kontekt med bokningen och ville ha kontant betalning fast vi bestallt nar vi kom fram 3 . Det blev trassel nar i checkat ut och ville ha en taxi till flygbussen. Taxin kom aldrig / de hade kiontekt med en egen taxifirma( och personalen verkade inte bry sig alls.Irriterande om man ska ivag med flyget...

Ingenting alls. Bara ett hotellrum för övernattning en natt.

Mycket centralt läge

lite dyr frukost

The convenience of being so close to the centre of the city and within a shopping centre. Bus route at the door

The heat of the rooms on the road side and our daughter stayed on the other side of the hotel and was disturbed every night by chavs on the roof of the shopping centre. The staff were took several nights to finally sort out the problem

Clean,tidy,great location and good food.

Overpriced parking, location of parking facility was in a tunnel.. This charge in my opinion was excessive

We visited the King James Hotel as it was very central to allow us to be very near a wedding reception, in another Hotel nearby. The room we were allocated was excellent,as far as comfort & facilities in fact a suite with its own lounge area, separate generous sized bedroom & private facilities which included a walk in shower, which we had specifically requested, due to one of the party, who has personal difficulties in using a bath. This was the one area that let the Hotel down, see full detail below:

The walk in shower had what appeared to be mould around the tiling, also the shower head. The ceiling area & vent was black, therefore what was a very comfortable & well fitted room, was totally spoilt by this situation.

We requested a room with wheelchair access. Were given a purpose-built twin bedded room with loads of space, hard wood floor, wet room shower and all the aids a person in a wheelchair needs. Brilliant! Reception and bar/restaurant staff were cheerfully helpful despite it being the busiest time of year for Edinburgh. Excellent location for shopping and site-seeing, with direct links to the King James Mall and John Lewis.

We were there at Edinburgh Festival/Military Tattoo time so the hotel was very busy. Naturally, many customers want to eat dinner early before going on to a show. With the restaurant not opening until 6.30pm there was a crush and food delays in the bar. Opening the restaurant earlier on such occasions would help relieve the pressure on the bar.

The location is terrific--five minutes from the Georgian glories of the New Town, ten minutes stroll from the Royal Mile. The hotel is spotlessly clean, thestaff are efficient and friendly.Highly recommended.

I thought the prices exacted for telephone calls were excessive.
