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.

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.

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.

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.

Loved my stay at this hotel in Edinburgh. The room was nice and spacious. They were very kind and kept our luggage until our room was ready. The staff were very friendly. I liked the location and easy to get to good places to eat and shop. It was also close to the bus stop close to our pick up for our Highlands tour.
