The Thrums  

The price.

I did not like the lack of employees in the hotel and the location was too far from the city centre.

Friendly staff, very clean, great breakfast

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.

Clean rooms & friendly service

It was interesting.

The staff & not too far from royal mile

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

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 location to the city centre, car park, bathroom, staff willingness and breakfast - apart from lack of bacon on menu

Mattress very uncomfortable, position of tv in relation to bed, bedroom lacked character and was supposed to have been recently refurbished

Convenient for city centre. Reasonable walk, good bus service.

A good breakfast to start the day and friendly staff. It is a reasoinably priced b&b (not a Hotel) with excellent bus services into the city very close by. Reasonably close to some good retaurants.

Considering the price per night it would be harsh to be too critical but ---the decor in the room gives a dated feel and it could do with some redecoration and a less cluttered table which one could sit at and write on, get rid of the tv (one watchable channel is barely entertainment) - the bathroom needs to be modernised (tiles need regrouting and fill the hole in the wall by the door). Overall verdict - basic comfort and in need of a redfurb.

Very friendly and exceptional service.

On easy bus routes ino Edinburgh. Good free parking.

Slow service. Needs decorating. Expnsive for its position nd facilities

stuff was very nuce
