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.

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

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.

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.

Hotel receptionist is extremely friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious and the location of the hotel was great!
1-night trip

6/10

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.
