After reading the dire reviews we tried looking around for somewhere else but everywhere was more expensive. We decided to bit the bullet and carry on with our reservation. My partner decided to push the button to open the doors and didn't notice the poor lad up a stepladder cleaning the right hand side door... Ooops, good start - had... More

I don't tend to leave reviews but if I can save a family from wasting their money it will make me feel happier! We arrived on the Friday and on being... More

We stayed for 2 nights from 10/2/12, our train got into Edinburgh at 9:30am and the hotel was a very easy 20 minute walk from Waverley Station (very easy considering we had never been to Edinburgh before) Even though we were too early to check in, the hotel allowed us to leave our bags and our receptionist (Rachel) was extremely...

The point hotel was lovely to stay in, we stayed in a room with castle view and it was beautiful The staff were very friendly and hotel was spotless clean. It was near everything and for people who love photography it would be ideal as there is load of places to see. It was good value for money but the... More

I was lucky enough to get a room with a fantastic view of the Castle and it looked stunning lit up at night. The room (309) was lovely, a reasonable size, a big comfy bed and a very nice bathroom with good quality toiletries. One gripe however is that they have 'mood lighting' which basically means the room is far... More

The Point Hotel is excellent value for money. We paid 50 GBP per room per night (no breakfast).The hotel is in the old town near the Grassmarket and the Castle. The people at the reception were really nice and helpful. The room wasn't special (just a basic hotel room), but it was spacious enough. The bathroom is basic. The only... More

I got this hotel for a one night stay at an incredible rate for its location right in the heart of the pubs/clubs/restaurants. It was actually cheaper than the vastly inferior Travelodge! the reception area and exterior of the hotel are lovely, as are the adjoining bars which i've used before. The corridoors leading to the rooms are quite bizarre,... More

We have just returned from a two night break at The Point Hotel and found it to be ideally located in the centre of Edinburgh. The facade and hotel foyer are very impressive on arrival as is the restaurant and bar. This building, originally built as a Co-Op Store in 1890 has been renovated in a very modern style which...

I never leave reviews but I simply had to with this one! I stayed at the Point Hotel recently for 5 nights and would 100% recommend it to anyone planning to go to Edinburgh. The price was amazing considering the quality of the rooms, location (less than a 10 minute walk to grassmarket, edinburgh castle as well as princes st),... More

We found this place to be very ideally located, just a short ten minutes from the Grassmarket area. The castle and Royal Mile aren't too far away either. The room was fairly well sized, and we had a nice view of the main street with big bright windows. Clean warm bath. The staff were friendly. We also got a good... More
