Sep 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Forever Memory Thistle Street was an amazing Apartment! Within walking distance to most locations & a cool historic building. Furnishings were period appropriate with class & charm. The only issue we had was getting a hot shower since the water turned ice cold after just a few minutes. ##### Barbara M. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Peter H. Jun 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Superb location comfy flat The location was great and the flat was comfortable. However there were small things that let it down from being a luxury as it was described. Such as not being able to get tv to work due to poor instructions and flat batteries in remote. Having a broken desire light. The shower was barely warm. The toaster had a broken handle and the was chipped crockery. The property is also managed by a corporate in Portugal that made communication difficult. One other observations is the ‘luxury’ lounge in the photo is not the lounge in the unit, it is a plainer one. If these things had been ‘right’ it would have been amazing. ##### Peter H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Penny S. Jun 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Fab flat in lovely street with bars, restaurants and great coffee shop opposite. Quiet, very central for main attractions. The flat was comfortable snd clean, kitchen with plenty of crockery and cooking implements if required. Tiny bathroom but all you need and it was very clean. Comfy bed with good linen. Great place to stay. ##### Penny S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### srishti May 12, 2024 Liked: Communication Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The worst experience I have ever had. There is constant thumping noise of people walking from the flat above. The back alley has a dumpster so you can get woken up in the middle of the night with clanging sounds of bottles being dumped. The front road is loud as you can hear people yelling, walking from the bars. The bathroom is tiny, no place to hang your towel. The apartment is cluttered with tacky artifacts on tables and shelves, no place to keep your things. The Kitchen ware is not enough We requested an earlier checkout which was denied as disturbed sleep and uncomfortable stay was not a good enough reason. VRBO has really disappointed us! ##### srishti Stayed 9 nights in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Novotel Edinburgh Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Centre.h982662.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-South-Bridge-Royal-Mile.h6793484.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Edinburgh-West.h19218414.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Edinburgh.h3516.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points Flex by Sheraton Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Four-Points-Flex-By-Sheraton-Edinburgh.h544658.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Hotel.h2775480.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [Fraser Suites Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fraser-Suites-Edinburgh.h2278102.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Edinburgh Carlton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Edinburgh-Carlton.h1648.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh - Leith Waterfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-Leith-Waterfront.h519940.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-City-Of-Edinburgh-Hotel.h800968.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Pollock-Halls.h1083952.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel One Edinburgh - Royal](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Motel-One-Edinburgh-Royal.h5333965.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Waterloo Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Waterloo-Place-Hotel.h2278092.Hotel-Information) > > [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > > [Market Street Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Market-Street-Hotel.h29507352.Hotel-Information) > > [Holyrood Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holyrood-Aparthotel.h561406.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Edinburgh-Royal-Mile.h16281979.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Town Chambers, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Cheval-Old-Town-Chambers.h6175181.Hotel-Information) > > [Ten Hill Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ten-Hill-Place.h1535542.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h4270.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile – Hunter Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-Royal-Mile-Hunter-Square.h200875.Hotel-Information) > > [CODE - The Court, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-CoDE-Pod-Hostels-THE-CoURT.h36150915.Hotel-Information)
