The King James By Thistle Guest Reviews
Super hotel in great location. Handy for shopping and theatre. Staff attentive and professional. Nice room with very comfortable bed. Bathroom small but functional.

The location was very good but I didn't find the staff very friendly or helpful. The concierge didn't know where any of the restaurants were located. The shower dripped loudly and wouldn't turn off. There was no alarm clock, not enough towels or pillows.

When I arrived at 10:30pm the hotel told me that they had no record of my reservation. Even though I presented my ebookers reservation no. the hotel took no steps to help me with my problem. I had to contact ebookers myself on my mobile (at roaming rates) and after an hour the problem was resolved. Turns out the hotel had not refreshed its system. Ebookers got the hotel to find me another hotel and pay for me to take a taxi there, but it was after midnight by the time that I got to my room. The most irksome thing was that none of the three receptionists appologised. I would never try to stay here again.

Great location in the heart of Edinburgh. A nice bar/restaurant at the hotel where you could relax with a drink and nice meal.
