The Place

We stayed here while visiting Edinburgh for my partner's birthday. Having stayed in numerous venues throughout the city we decided to try this place. We were not disappointed. The customer service was impeccable, with super-friendly and helpful staff. The location is great - very central and convenient to most amenities. The bar and breakfast area were beautifully done out, with lots of attention to detail, providing a warm & welcoming ambience. Our room was small, but had everything we needed. Our waitress asked our plans at breakfast, and when we stated we were celebrating a birthday, she returned shortly thereafter with a beautiful selection of cakes, with a chocolate "Happy Birthday" written on the plate. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. It also has a beautiful outdoor space for warmer weather. Many thanks to all the staff for making our stay so special.

My wife and I are recently back home after a couple of days at this hotel. I have to say, I can't find fault. Spotlessly clean, quiet & comfy rooms with everything you need. Breakfast was amazing. But the staff made it all the more enjoyable, by way of politeness, and being helpful.
Recommended!

Beautiful establishment and staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Allowed us to leave baggage before checking in and after which helped relief stress of lugging bags. Welcomed by Bogdan who was a lovely gentleman

Lovely room, great breakfast and an ideal “it is on” deal. Very attentive service.
The room was very large, and location was perfect.

Friendly staff, nice hotel, great location!

Great hotel in a perfect location for exploring Edinburgh. Right by a tram stop so easy to get to from the airport, also close to the train station. Lots of shops nearby and great restaurant options. Our room was huge, bed comfy, staff friendly. Would recommend for a long weekend in Edinburgh

Great location, close to bus station, shopping centre & short walk to train station too

Really cute area

Cosy and clean room, polite staff

We visited Edinburgh at the end of September 2025 for a four day trip. We booked in at The Place Hotel very near the city centre. The hotel was very clean, the staff very helpful and friendly and our room was serviced daily with clean towels etc. Although the room was quite small it had a nice en- suite toilet and shower room, TV, free Wi-Fi and coffee & tea making facilities. The bed linen was spotless. I would recommend it.

Lovely helpful staff

Very welcoming and helpful staff. Comfortable and clean room, although several stairs to negotiate (up to 3 floor and no lift.) We requested a room with least no. of stairs and they were very accommodating. Great breakfast (extra cost). Within 5 minutes walk of several excellent restaurants and large shopping mall.

Clean hotel, friendly and helpful staff.
Great location!
Would come back!

The property staff was excellent. The beds were horrible- outdated, spring mattress. No elevator- 72 steps to the top where rooms are.

Was the perfect hotel for our 2 days there !

Beautiful Georgian building that has received LIMITED updates, too limited for what they charge. I was put in a top floor room, 4 flights of steep stairs and no elevator. The room sat directly under the roof and with the window closed (and the cleaning staff always closed it) and no AC the room would be very hot and stuffy by the end of the day and would not fully cool down until the wee hours of the morning; and this was in September so one can imagine the heat in summer. Also, with the windows open sounds of the traffic and street cars down below Kept me awake. The hot water was tepid, with very low water pressure, not much more than a trickle, and the bed killed my back. Not what one would expect at this price point.

Clean, friendly and helpful staff

A fine old Edinburgh Town House with spectacular views over the Firth of Forth to Fine. One note of caution, though: no. 36 has no lifts. The exercise did me good, but for some guests this may be an issue. O/w a terrific hotel.

Good- the social area, location and overall service was very good. The rooms are OK but pretty spartan- bathroom was very small. But overall a good choice if in the area

Loved the hotel. The staff were wonderful and helpful (helped carry our luggage up to the top floor.) Breakfast was excellent. The lounge area was very nice. Would have given a 5 overall except for not having a lift. We avoided our room during the day to avoid going up all the stairs. Recommend the Superior Double as the Standard comes in different sizes and floor levels. Thanks for a great stay!
