My boyfriend and I spent 3 nights at the Point between 29/Feb and 3rd March. We stayed in a standard double which was spotlessly clean and the bed was every bit as comfortable as others have described!! Fab sleep every night. Also on the subject of sleep (a favourtie pastime!) there was no noise from the hotel at all - despite the fact that it seemed busy with residents all weekend. We found the hotel to be modern and clean, and loved the funky bar - the cocktails are fantastic! Also, the atmosphere in the bar is lovely when busy and is clearly a popular venue for non-residents too making it a great "buzzing" nightspot.
When we checked in we were offered the chance to book for breakfast at a reduced rate of £6.50 per head, rather than the £10 advertised. As we were room only, this seemed like a fair offer and the breakfast buffet was really good too!
In terms of location, I did notice the lapdancing clubs nearby but its not as if you get any of the "clientale" in the hotel or hovering outside. It is very localised and there is no need to go to that end of town if you dont want to. We found the hotel to be in a very good location, within walking distance of the castle and the centre of Edinburgh.
The food at the hotel was excellent and the service was genuinely friendly and polite at all times. It is certainly a hotel where you can spend time, and not use just as a base or somewhere to get your head down at night. If you want a romantic relaxed weekend with sightseeing on your doorstep, this is the venue. I wholeheartedly recommend the Point.

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.
