Yes room was very clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Room was very good.
However one problem did cause us some annoyance. The radiators in the room were constantly making a noise all night and all day. It seemed to us that they were constantly updating their central heating system.
This was our only complaint in respect of this short break.
Problem was only for overnight stay but could have been worse if we had a longer stay.

The friendliest staff who made me feel at home the second I walked in. I was pleasantly surprised to find I’d been kindly upgraded free of charge into a beautiful, clean room with the most gorgeous view overlooking the city. A comfortable night’s sleep followed by a delicious breakfast! Thank you so much to all the staff at The Place.
Lovely hotel, central to Edinburgh would book again.

This was probably the smallest double room I've ever stayed in. However, it was clean & functional. There was only room for one bedside cabinet and with the ceiling slanted it was a challenging & careful shuffle to get into bed. Both the check-in & check-out were smooth & straightforward with both receptionists demonstrating high levels of professionalism.

This hotel is excellent. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself is in a great location and is spotlessly clean and serves a fab breakfast. We stayed in a suite which had 2 large beds and a big ensuite with large shower and freestanding bath, it felt very luxurious and we both slept very well. I would definitely stay here again
The Place is conveniently located near the train station. The staff are warm, welcoming and had plenty of ideas for things to do and see. We received a complimentary room upgrade upon check in which was lovely. The room and bathroom was very spacious with high ceilings, large windows and it had a mystery theme. The bathroom also features a large soaker tub and double shower heads. It was also quiet. We highly recommend this hotel.
