I chose this place because I thought it looked like a comfortable place to stay but entering the lobby the deep chill rang alarm bells. The receptionist was friendly enough but promised packed breakfasts that never arrived. He tried to charge us a surplus for using a debit card, this wasn't mentioned on booking.com. The rooms were big but freezing.... More

Our room needed an update, but it was very spacious and comfortable. They offered a nice breakfast and the staff were very helpful. More

We decided to stay here even though some of the reviews advised otherwise. We are a family of 5 and enjoyed staying in room 17. The staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was super. There is a faded charm about Thrums and we felt it served our purpose and was good value for money. We would definitely stay here... More

We came from California. Booked a family room at The Thrums. We were given room number seventeen which was huuuuuuge with an enermous mirror. There was 5 of us and still a lot of space. Room a bit noisy as it was on one of main streets but it is like that everywhere in Edinburgh. Anyway - it was worth.... More

The hotel comprises a pair of very large semi-detached houses. They look a little tired but were obviously very residences at one time. The room we had as a family room was huge, with very high ceilings, giving a lovely feeling of space. The location was excellent, on a main bus route into the city centre, which could also be...

Absolutely to avoid! not clean, bedsheet not changed with hairs and spots of the previous guest! we had to ask for clean towels and bedsheet everyday (one day we didn't even have the towels changed). dust everywhere and cobwebs on the corners of the windows. Floor creaking, old and dirty moquette. Poor breakfast served in a little and crowded room... More

Agree with the reviewer about friendly staff. However the accommodation is very poor. We did have the benefit of a newly fitted shower room. If the rest of the guesthouse was up to this standard it would have been fine - but everywhere else was extremely 'dingy'. I know that during festival time accommodation is not cheap - but feel...

This is not a luxury hotel but it had all the necessities, and with a little more attention to details could be. For example, a towel rack in the bathroom and some hooks for clothes would have been nice. But the room was clean and quiet despite being on a busy street. The staff were very nice and packed our...
