We booked the Raeburn Suite to host a sportsman’s speaking event. The suite was perfect for our needs. We connected into the AV and made use of the lighting within the space. The Events Manager Emily Jackson and her staff were very helpful, professional and very respectful. First class venue.

Had a wonderful stay at The Place over the weekend and would come back again in a heartbeat. Rooms were comfortable and quiet throughout day and night. Location was perfect for accessing all the hot spots of Edinburgh by foot/tram/bus, with a Tesco Express just a few steps away. The employees were always very kind and ready to help with whatever I needed. Thanks so much for such a great stay!

This is a well priced three star hotel with...

The recep...

The bathroom was spotless and modern, which made a big difference. I stayed on an upper floor, and the city view from there was stunning, especially at evening. The staff were friendly and really helpful, even assisting with my luggage both during check-i...
