Small but nice
Small room and a bit cramped but that was fine for me for a work visit, including some work at the desk, tho ironing needed some moving of chairs etc. Hotel nice and with good location and nice breakfast. Window on to street wasn’t a great sound barrier to Christmas party goers but again fine.

It's ok I guess better than holiday inn.
Had the large exec room, the room itself was good very big nice bathroom etc but whilst the bed was big it was to large singles pushed together with one slightly higher than the other so may as well had a single bed which is disappointing. Bar shut early on Tuesday got back at 10:30 was already closed and no in room drinks available so again not good.

Mages your expectations. The place is not the hotel you would like if you have mobility and space issues. The room and closets are small.

First time? This is a great place to start.
The Place was a comfortable stay for my husband and I. As other reviews mentioned, there are no lifts in this hotel, so pack lightly! Our room was large and comfortable. If this is your first time, keep your keycard in the slot by the door to "power" the room. Every plug has a switch, including the TV. The Place is close to a lot of great eats and shopping, but we chose this specifically because it was close to the Edinburgh Bus Station to catch our 7:45am 1-day bus trip with Rabbie's Tours. First timers, this is THE PLACE to stay!

Would stay again
The lady at the front desk was able to get me checked in early so I could nap after my long sleepless flight, which I really appreciated. My room and public areas were very clean and modern. Water temperature was slow to heat up and then got too hot and then was slow to cool down. Beds could have been more comfortable. Location is very convenient - short walk from a tram stop and the bus station, as well as several sites.

Nice place in central Edinburgh
Very nice, friendly staff. No lift, but knew that when booking. Communication with the property was good, let them know that I had mobility issues, they assured us a room with minimal stairs. Very close to trams/transit. Food was good.

Staff was amazingly helpful and friendly. Our room was clean, comfortable and had an amazing, top floor view north over the city to the Firth. Lounge, bar and breakfast area are exquisite. Only reason i didn't give straight fives is I'm 73 years old and walking up four flights of stairs wasn't fun, although the staff's speed at handling luggage lessened my efforts ten fold. A real gem in the heart of Edinburgh.
