    We had a superb stay in Edinburgh just off all the attractions as well as Edinburgh. Satisfied with a lovely bed and 2x children, for example available. The location was fantastic and brilliant and a historic fortress was easily accessible...

    Fantastic stay for an Edinburgh vacation. Nice welcome from owner. Room with even a very comfy pull out bed, 2x children, for example. Vews of the castle. Marvellous setting in the heart of Edinburgh. Nestled not far from eateries at Grassmarket, the Grassmarket, and a great traditional Scottish pub down the road.

    Everything at The Wee Thistle felt fantastic during my Edinburgh vacation. I often visited Mary's Milk Bar, located just 200 meters away, for coffee.- I appreciated the host who runs the place.

    I had the most amazing stay at this incredible wee gem in the heart of the city center. The location was superb, just a short walk from the Royal Mile and right next to the iconic Edinburgh Castle. The hosts truly went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. They had thought of everything I could possibly need, from a handy information folder to clean and modern appliances. The bedding was so comfortable, I slept like a dream every night.

    The location of this apartment was spot on! It was right in the heart of the city, close to all the attractions. the apartment itself was cozy and nicely decorated, giving a warm and festive atmosphere during the Christmas season. the bed was comfortable and made for a good night's sleep.

    There were a couple of drawbacks. the water pressure in the sink was quite low, which made it difficult to wash dishes properly.

    The National Museum of Scotland is located nearby. Lovecrumbs, a restaurant, is conveniently located right by the apartment.

    The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect! It is right on the Grassmarket, which means that all the attractionsites are within walking distance. it is right beside Grassmarket, which is great for exploring the local shops and restaurants. the view of the castle from the hotel is stunning, providing a delightful backdrop to your stay. the comfortable rooms and stocked cupboards add to the overall positive experience.

    The paper information inside the hotel could be updated to reflect the current details of the hotel.

    The location was amazing, just off the main Grassmarket area, and I had a great view of Edinburgh Castle from the apartment complex. The apartment itself was spotless and cosy, with all the amenities I needed. The host was super friendly and communication was easy. Plus, the flexibility with check-in was a huge bonus. I couldn't have asked for a better and more convenient place to stay. I highly recommend it! I'll definitely be coming back if I'm ever in Edinburgh again.

    We had a fantastic stay at The Wee Thistle! The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of the city. The apartment was spotless, cosy, and had everything we needed. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, and we even had a great view of the castle from the corridor. The supermarket nearby was really convenient, and our kids absolutely loved the cat café down the street. The host was super friendly and easy to communicate with, making our check-in and stay hassle-free. I highly recommend The Wee Thistle for a wonderful stay in Edinburgh.
