The Point Hotel Edinburgh  

The location of the hotel is perfect....only 5 minutes walk for the centre! The staff was very pleasant and helpful! The room was very clean and comfortable and the price for this room I think was excellent!

Close proximity to city centr

Poor room layout - cell like. Poor interior and poor quality bed. Dear and nasty

i found the staff to be extremely friendly and welcoming. they were very approachable and helpful with regards to directions and bus routes, numbers and times to get to various places. breakfast was great, very laid back and good selection of both hot and cold food. delicious! self service also great idea as no waiting and can help yourself to as little or as much as you want at your own leisure. the bar was again very relaxed, laid back and informal. staff friendly. good atmosphere and somewhere you could comfortably go as a solo traveller and not feel intimidated. good food at reasonable prices in comfortable surroundings, couldnt ask for more! good location also.

great city centre location and super friendly staff

the interior design seemed slightly outdated

The staff were excellent , I had a incident with a faulty kettle which resulted in a bad burn & the staff member who , unfortunately forgotten his name , was very helpful . I commend this person as outstanding & wish you to pass on my regards please .

The restaurant was pleasant and breakfast very enjoyable. The wifi was a plus.

The Point is showing its age and while the bed was comfortable and clean, the bathroom lacked soap, the toilet seat was falling off, the shower curtain needed replacing - it was mouldy and smelly, and the shower ran hot and cold.

I liked the location

The room we were in needed a re-paint as did the bathroom. Generally very dated, the window frames were dirty- needed painting. The carpet was dirty. The remote control was temperamental. The toilet flush made a loud noise every time it was used. The room did not look like the rooms on their website. Definitely too expensive for the quality of accommodation

The room was outstanding and the the location was good as it was quiet and only about a 5 min walk to the grass market. I would be happy to stay again

Good location for sightseeing and night life. Nice staff. Good value.

Food was not good. Showers in room below standard.

great location, close to the Castle, got a good deal on price

make sure you ask for a room not facing the main street or on a higher level. we got a room on the 1st floor with a huge window facong the main street which meant noise and not really being able to open the curtains since it would be as being in a shopping window. they do give you free earplugs in the room though. wi fi only free in the lobby area and didn't really work anyway. lightning in the room not very good - no big light.

Great location and good value. The superior room with castle view is very nice.

The hotel is old, durty and noisy! The ordinary twin/double room looks like you're in a cheep motel! - try to avoid it!

Near where we wanted to be, friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast

great location, just a 5 minutes walk to castle...clean and spacious room, with comfortable bed and pillows..the temperature of the room was fine as we travelled on april 2012 but don't know when winter period, as the heater of the room seems not to be working when we tried it on, it doesn't feel warming,anyway we didn't bother reporting it as the duvet kept us warm ... receptionist- ela is very friendly and helpful there are many affordable restaurants, food shops ..

can't find fault in our stay as the price of the room was reasonable
