Great, maybe a little less accessible which wasn't a problem for me, it seemed like the hotel has air-conditioning for only half the rooms, which I thought was odd.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Close to old town. Nice little shops and cafes close by. Room was nice but you can hear your neighbours. Not very soundproof.

Mattress felt like it was 20 years old! Could squeeze both sides of the mattress together, could feel the bed base when sat on the mattress and could feel the springs when laying on it, both beds in the room were the same and I was offered an alternate room but the mattress had exactly the same issue. Ended up sleeping on top of 2 double duvets folded in half and a thick mattress topper to make my night vaguely comfortable and bearable. Will certainly not be staying here for my next trip to Edinburgh. The Premier Inn next door was far more comfortable, you didn't get any noise from the road and was actually slightly cheaper

We stayed at the Place for one night. We were lucky enough to be upgraded and had a lovely large room on the first floor. The hotel does not have a lift so stairs to the third floor may have been a little taxing for mid 70s. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. A bit of a disturbed night due to traffic noise but all in all a good experience
