The Place Hotel

The hotel was better than I expected for the money for a city hotel. In fact the hotel is beautiful, a stunning building, excellent lighting and decor with attention to detail. The noise in the street outside with the trams starting early did wake me a couple of times. But this is not the fault of the hotel. The hotels location is perfect for the station and bus station, the castle, shops and restaurants all are a short walk away. I would def stay there again. The breakfast was perfect as in the pictures of what we chose. The staff were all helpful and very kind.

Friendly staff, nice location.

I got a room upgrade, which was a nice surprise, and the staff was always friendly and helpful. I left my bag at the hotel 2h before check-in and when I came back, it had already been brought into my room. I stayed for 3 nights and the location was central enough for me to explore Old Town and New Town on foot, though I acquired a lot of steps. The room was nice and clean (as long as you didn't look at anything too closely) and I personally had no problem sleeping in the bed. The view from the upgraded room was great (see pictures). There is some sort of bar (?) right outside the window, so sometimes you could hear semi-loud music playing. One night I thought I would need ear plugs, but the music stopped right when I went to bed. Overall everything I needed for my trip.

It is full of character from the moment you walk through the front door, and our room was the most spacious room that we’ve ever stayed in, and we’ve stayed at lots of different hotels in the cities, and all around Scotland. We were also given an upgrade, which included the en-suite having a large bath, and the bathroom was absolutely immaculate! The whole room was immaculate, and very spacious with a large wardrobe, with a good amount of wooden hangers. The bed was large and very comfortable! I think the room cost around £275 for the night, but it definitely felt like a luxury stay. I paid a lot more to stay at The Witchery in Edinburgh for one night, and it wasn’t anywhere near as comfortable!

The location was ideal. And they took my bag to my room and held it again for free until my train home. The staff were wonderful and friendly! The room was clean and the view was stunning. It had a small shower which again was clean and with good water pressure. They had a selection of tea and coffee and the bath products were really nice.
