Location is very central. Nice breakfast
Noise of trams early hours, door into bathroom bangs against sink - could not be fully opened, TV was a disaster - could not obtain any channels other than BBC. No lifts - stairs for access to rooms.

We chose The Place Hotel for its location. I hadn't expected the room to be so spacious with such high ceilings and full length windows looking out across Edinburgh City. Watching the sun set was an added bonus. The bed was very comfortable as were the feather pillows. A fan was already in the room, which was definitely needed that evening. There was an outside area which was also very relaxing. The staff were also very welcoming.
There was nothing to dislike.

spent 200 pounds a night and room was extremely small.. Almost like it was for hobbits.. I couldnt stand up to Pee in the toilet/bathroom and literally had to bend down while in the shower. I am quite tall 6ft 2.. but this shouldnt be the case after spending 200 quid a night. Rooms sizes really poor and no lifts as well.. However, tbf the staff tried to make up for this by helping with my luggage up and downstairs. They were all very pleasant too.

My stay at The Place Hotel in Edinburgh was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly and professional staff who made me feel right at home. The room was spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated with a modern yet cozy vibe. The bed was super comfortable, and I had a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring the city. The hotel's location is perfect—just a short walk to the city center and major attractions. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while visiting Edinburgh. Highly recommended!

Very Poor
the location was its only redeeming feature
I was charged £268 for one night in a tiny room that was very claustrophobic. The only natural ventilation was a skylight directly above the bed which closed automatically if it rained. This is Edinburgh where it rains a lot! Air conditioning might have compensated but there was none. I asked to be moved and was told they were fully booked although there was little evidence of this. I barely slept as a result of the conditions in the room. I asked for some more breakfast tea bags for the room and was told they had none! In short, it was a dreadful experience.

Very clean room, friendly staff
Initially we were disappointed that room is so small & in basement, no window. But the skylight was just fine

Great staff - very accommodating - nice to have a bar on site for a nightcap.
No fault of hotel but it was warm weather during our visit so a little uncomfortable with no A/C. While staff carried our luggage to the room, there were a lot of stairs (about 82) to get to our room. Don't forget anything when you leave!

Fantastic location, staff were very helpful
The only down side was the lack of lift (and air conditioning but it was unusually hot in Scotland when we visited!).
