A place to be occupied in the Albert Hall (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

berth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a place' is the definition.
(I know that place can be written as berth)

'in the albert hall' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'BERTH' is hidden in the letters of 'albert hall'.

'to be occupied' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for berth that I've seen before include "Bed for traveller" , "Place to lie down on train or ship" , "Accommodation on a ship" , "Bed on board" , "Bed on a ship/train" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
