Very friendly and helpful staff. Hotel good for a reasonably priced stay. On a busy road though, with trams and buses going by, so try to get room away from the front of the Hotel.

Excellent hotel. Superb location, beautiful building inside and out. Staff exceptional; welcoming, friendly and knowledgable. Made to feel most welcome and valued. Beautiful bar, lounges, terrace and room. Spotlessly clean and well maintained.

Great place to stay

The Place is conveniently located near the bus station where the tour bus pick up point is. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Helped bring our luggages up to our rooms and brought it down when we checked out. The only down side is there is no lift so your knees better be good. Will definitely stay again if ever I return to Edinburgh.

Highly recommended

Had an absolutely lovely stay at The Place. Hotel was located a short walking distance from Waverly station. Staff members were pleasant and accommodating . Room was clean and spacious. Would definitely recommend to anyone planning to visit Edinburgh.
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location ideal for exploring Edinburgh, rental car collection train station all walkable. No lift in building so must be prepared to go up many stairs to your room.

Wonderful theatre break

Fantastic 2night stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better hotel for closeness to bus station and theatre. The staff could not have been friendlier and helpful. The beds were amazingly comfy with the best pillows I’ve ever had in a hotel. The outside terrace was a complete surprise and my friend and I made good use of it. This is a hotel I am definitely going to book again.
Outside terrace area, wonderful x

Short stay Edinburgh

About a 15 min walk from Waverley, just behind shopping Mall. A lift would make it perfect but the staff cannot help enough, I dropped by case off mid morning and when i came back later to check in it was already up in my room. The decor was lovely - comfortable. Everything was really clean and well maintained. Room was a little warm so i kept my window open all the time, it did mean you could hear the trams passing by but that did not bother me. Breakfast was lovely. I would definitely stay there again.
Breakfast - Poached eggs, Smashed Avocado, Sourdough and balsamic.

No modern conveniences AC Elevator/lift

Staff was very friendly and helpful. We were allowed into our room early which was great since we had an overnight flight from US. The hotel is quite old and we were on the 5th floor with no elevator. It is also quite hot at the top with no AC. Bathroom is quite small. I am not large by today’s standards and could not turn around in the shower. The toilet is tucked in between the sink and shower. Do not book unless you are quite fit and nimble. Also no temperature control in the room. If you need cold to sleep this place is not for you. Great location, very easy to walk to most areas of town.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The room was spacious and impeccably clean. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the location was ideal, with a shopping center nearby and easy access to the city center. It’s an experience I would happily repeat!
