We stayed for 2 nights in October, 2011, whilst the renovations were occurring, and found no problems. Was a bit tricky finding the place, due to lack of signage, but once we did, everything was fine. Due to the renovations, reception was run out of one of the rooms, but we had no problems with this. As our room was... More

This b&b has received mixed reviews and I suspect your experience will depend greatly on your expectations and how much you pay for a room. Not booking particularly far in advance, I got my single room for £37, without a bathroom and excluding breakfast. It was clean and as comfortable as I'd expect at that price and the service was...

However the door opened and I was greeted by a lovely lady. Who showed us toour room, which was big spacious and clean,... More

My partner and I stayed here for New Year and the accomodation and service were excellent. The staff could not have been more helpful, the room was fantastic and the Hotel bar was well stocked and reasonably priced. The Hotel was close to the main areas and within easy walking distance of everything. Our room was at the top of... More

I stayed in York Place B&B 2010 and was very pleased. So i returned in September 2011 and it was really disappointing. The whole B&B was under a new management who is turning it into a hotel. So i stayed more or less on a contrustion site. The once beautiful breakfast room was gone, breakfast was in a hotel on... More

I stayed here last week and here is my experience. Staff were really friendly, bed was comfy and shower was powerful.... so far so good right? Here are the negatives, initially it was small things like the sign on the front door is a A4 piece of paper - which makes the place look like a dive from the outside,... More

Booked 38 York place in January 2011 for 1night at beginning of holiday and 1night B&B on our return journey. Room 5 was given- review given by WickmanUK in Aug/TonyT in July/Robin0 in June says it all! I threatened to report them to environmental health because of the state of Room 5. The reception did move us to a cleaner... More

After reding the reviews on here I was quite worried but was pleasently surprised when we got there. yes the hotel is going through some changes, but for £59 a room in a hotel which is more or less situated in the city centre on a friday night is great value for money. The room wasnt completely finished but had... More

For my 9 night stay in Edinburgh during the fringe festival I opted to pick somewhere just out of the hustle and bustle. I found the location of York Place B&B, just next the the restaurant district on Rose St, ideally placed. However this B&B is changing names to 'The Place', and going with that change marketing itself as a... More

Abominable! Not as advertised, room incomplete, no kettle, no cups, not a toilet roll holder, bathroom incomplete, no hairdryer or bins, had to ask for all. Noisy, building work, could hear staff talking, doors banging and phone ringing during the late evening hours due to them using a bedroom as an office, didn't include breakfast, wasn't offered breakfast, nor shown...
