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.

8/10 Very good

Great location in the center of Edinburgh, ver convenient. Rooms were nice, comfortable and the one towards the back had a great view on the sea. NB: there is no escalator and the floors are high. Only issue — but quite serious one — both our rooms on the last floor had issues with the shower, greeting barely any hot water. Would recommend — but only if the shower issue gets fixed.

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

Wry hot room no air conditioner
Ahmed, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

There were a lot of steps up and down to get to our room not good for elderly people. There was only one bedside cabinet so had to use the floor and hence there was no reading light on one side. Also, the shower was too small if you are elderly or have limited mobility or indeed are overweight. We did pass our comments on to reception when checking out.
Angela, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not enough light over the wash hand basin . I was in the basement where the noise from the drains was disturbing
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at the Place for one night. We were lucky enough to be upgraded and had a lovely large room on the first floor. The hotel does not have a lift so stairs to the third floor may have been a little taxing for mid 70s. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. A bit of a disturbed night due to traffic noise but all in all a good experience
