The Thrums  

Room was clean, if a bit dated, although the en-suite was in my wifes words gorgeous. Bed was comfy enough.

Chose this hotel on recommendation of my parents who stayed there about 8 years ago. Arrived at the hotel, at 3pm, to find it locked up and half of the place being refurbished, which I wasn't advised of, so had the impression the place was closed and i had nowhere to stay. Quickly let in after a quick phone call. On arrival at room it was cold as the heating hadn't been on. On arrival for breakfast, the dining room was so cold I could see my breath and another guest was sitting with heavy coat and gloves on. Surely heating could be timed to warm the place up in time for breakfast. My wife ordered sausage and fried egg, and got exactly that, a sausage and a fried egg. No bacon on menu. Went into kitchen to pay my bill, and was not impressed. Cracked tiles and beat up old kitchen units did nothing to endear me to this hotel.

- very friendly and very helpful staff - clean and quiet room (en suite), with a big window to the garden - good lokation, near to city centre (20Min walk, 8Min drive with bus) and near to arthurs seat - all together a very nice hotel with nice people, we would so much like to come here again! :D

The young Polish man working the desk went above and beyond. He made sure my mother and I were happy with our room. He was very helpful with booking day trips, taxi's and ordering out. The room had both a toilet room with a shower and a bathroom. The rooms were small but comfortable. There was a flat screen tv with good sound and picture & a kettle with tea/coffee. The breakfast was included and had an assortment of food. The cleaning staff was friendly as well.

Workers were remodeling the bed room next door and it was a bit noisy. The hotel is about a 20 minute walk away from the Royal Mile. Because of the remodeling, the hallway had dust and debris. It wasn't that bad, however the rooms were a bit overpriced for the conditions.

It was interesting.

Dirty, cold and dated

The staff & not too far from royal mile

Hmm ... decor, shower, sink in room, bed

Location ideal 20 mins walk into the city centre on a straight road. Staff very helpful, room was nice and big. Would go back

The room could be bit More modern but I have to say the room suits the old style

Good location for me. Quiet room and helpful staff.

Shower blocked with other rubbish coming up from the blocked waste. Bathroom mirror light not working - too dark for putting on make up. No bacon for breakfast ( dont like sausages)

Very quiet, convenient for city, good safe parking. Staff very helpful

Rather tired/shabby, needs money spending on decor, bedding etc.

Close to main parts of Edinburgh, nice place.

My rented car was broken into in the hotel car park, more needs to be done to tighten up security. The staff were pretty good about it and said that this was a first, still coming from South Africa we believed that crime would not be an issue during our trip to the uk

Very good location, pleasant staff and comfortable room. Parking on site is convenient. We heeded other reviews and asked for a room at the back, which was perfectly quiet, opening onto a private garden. We would stay here again.

The staff were all very anxious to help and very knowledgeable and efficient. The hotel has single rooms and is conveniently situated. The breakfast was good

There was a slightly dingy air to the place.
