Thrums Hotel

We stayed here for Edinburgh Fringe, loved our stay at the hotel. This waa our third visit to edinburgh for the fringe but this was our favourite hotel.It was a last minute booking but it worked out perfectly. Location is about 20 min walk from Royal Mile, great route goes past lots of cash machines and shops to pick up bits and pieces for the day or on way back to hotel. grab some food in little independent cafes not so expensive or busy as in centre,also burrito shops, restuarants including a great morrocan and himilayan, bars and pubs with live music lots going on and lots of take aways, South Pour cafe is excellent. So the hotel has a great location to be in. Room was fully cleaned everyday spotlessly and had a lovely big window view of the private gardens at the back of the hotel. The hotel has secured private parking at rear. We had an excellent welcome to the hotel, very warm and friendly given good advice of best places to visit and bus routes into town. We were given all information we needed verbally and also there was a guide in our room with wifi details and useful information. We were shown to our room to check we were happy with everything. Great welcome. Hotel rooms could do with a bit of a general upgrade, splash of white paint and a bit of colour accents in room would go a long way. Tea/coffee in room, hair dryer in bathroom, good sized flat screen tv,wardrobe with hangers, comfy bed and plenty of space...communal areas were also very very clean at all times, overall we had everything we needed and then some given we werent spending much time in our room as we were visiting for edinburgh fringe. Also very quick check out. Overall fantastic stay and we would definitley check if Thrums have availability next time we visit for the Fringe.
