that's all I want to say: R.I.P. point hotel. it was a good 2* hotel, but the renovation to make it one of the Hilton has begun. Otherwise the street is nice and close to the centre and royal mile.

We recently had our wedding reception at the Point Hotel and we couldn't be happier with the hotel. The rooms were lovely, spacious, clean and with great views. The staff were wonderful and very helpful, always with a smile. We had breakfast the next morning as well and it was delicious and well stocked. Simply cannot relate the bad reviews... More

My stay was both business and some sight seeing, and this hotel was a very good location for both having the International Conference Centre and Edinburgh Castle very near. The room was clean and airy as the window opened enough to air the room by day. At night it needed to be closed, to cut out noise from the street,... More

Stayed here this week due to working away and it was awful. Lots of little things like the fact that no one bothered to iron the valance on the bed, it looked like it had been screwed up in a ball for a while, the carpets were filthy and the whole place smelt horrible. One of the lifts didn't stop... More

A very friendly, modern and clean hotel in the center of Edinburgh. Surpassed my expectations. Excellent deal with a marvelous breakfast. Located in the heart of the historic section and the theater and music section of Edinburgh. Staff were diligent in making sure we received all we needed.

The price was decent but only if it was for a night. The staff could not be more friendly! especially with my disabled grandmother they were so kind. Dinner and breakfast was brilliant the only thing though the hallway is so big it echoes and when you have a hen night across the room it is not good! but we... More
