My partner and I stayed at The Point on the 22nd and 23rd February, we paid $99 per night for a superior double room and it was excellent. The breakfast was great running until 11am, they had a selection of hot food such as bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans as well as cereal, toast etc. The castle is about a 15 minute walk away, and the hotel was well located for the Airport Shuttle bus. Would stay here again.

My Husband and I have just returned from our 2 night stay at the hotel and we couldn't have been more pleased with our choice of hotel. The hotel has a very modern look and feel to it..borderline boutique i'd say, the decor of the hotel bar and our room was very contemporary. The staff were really polite and attentive even at extremely busy times such as breakfast. The late cut off time of breakfast is a godsend after a night on the tiles, and the hotel bar is bang on the money, prices are comparative to London or in fact any city. The bed was the most comfortable bed ever with the exception of the bed in our hotel on honeymoon (and that's saying something!)
Don't let the mention of the local lapdancing bars put you off, they are hardly next door and unless you go looking you might never even see them!
We will most definately be returning to The Point as for us location wise it was ideal and less noisy than it's bigger competitors..and theres a lot left for us to see and do.

I have seen a lot of reviews for this place mostly good, but some not so good.

I thought it was very impressive, especially as I only paid £74 for a double room including full cooked breakfast.

Check in was very easy and we were able to leave our bags in a secure area after arriving on an early flight.

The room (313) was spacious with sofa, flatscreen tv, tea and coffee making facilities, large windows with a castle view and the most comfortable bed ever.

The en suite was a wet room with a powerful shower. Only slight downsides were the sink was small and low down and the shower room made the windows steam up in the bedroom!

Breakfast was good with a choice of cereals, toast, croissants and a full fry up buffet style.

Yes there are a couple of lap dancing bars nearby and yes the corridors are a bit strange but it is 10 minutes from the castle and Princess Street, the airport bus drops off about 5 minbutes away.

All in all I would definitely recommend to others.

I am a Scottish exile, living in Hertfordshire. I recently took a wheelchairbound friend to Edinburgh as she had never been to Scotland. We stayed two nights in The Point last week and I feel compelled to write this report.

I cannot praise this hotel highly enough. From our check in to our check out, the staff were unfailingly polite and helpful. Our room was absolutely spot on for my friend, and her wheelchair!, and staff told me that they had been helped with the restructure of it by a wheelchairbound resident so they could get it right. Such attention to detail did not surprise me actually. To cap it off, we had a stunning castle view. The breakfasts were awesome and the food in the bar superb. There was a lovely atmosphere.

My friend and I were blown away by the entire experience. I travel extensively with my husband and would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone, wheelchairbound or not.
