Absolutely brill hotel, no complaints except TOTALLY NO SMOKING. Staff absolutely lovely, couldn't do enough, very efficient even held onto bags for us as flight was later in day and gave us a receipt!!! how efficient is that. The shower, well, I came out of it with my eyes bloodshot, unreal shower, it would "take the skin off your back" as my friend said. Overall, FAB HOTEL

We chose the Hotel as my work bought me to the conference part next door.First impressions were how friendly the staff were.Very polite,cheerful and happy to give advise on where to eat.
The room was ok.Spacious in size,huge windows overlooking the main street.The shower was not modern but worked ok .The bed however was a trampoline!!! not at all comfortable far too soft and squeaky.
We stayed Thurs and Fri.Thurs night could not get to sleep until 3am.The noise from outside( fromstudents leaving the bars) was disgusting,like a pack of animals,we were really shocked(And we are not past it !!)Fri night was completeley the opposite Ghost Town !!.
If you choose to stay at this hotel would suggest you ask for a room away from the front.

I stayed here last week on business and found the hotel very welcoming and very ultra modern. The front of the hotel is all glass and the reception is very minimal with not a piece of paper in sight! My room was quite small, but clean and stylish, with a very comfortable leather chair for finishing off the days works. The restaurant is also very modern and I like the way you can see into the kitchen! Only slight concern is a nearby lap dancing club which might attract a few undesirables, though my late arrival indicated that the local area is fine. Will definitely be back for a weekend with my boyfriend!

We chose to stay at The Point for a weekend away and found it to be a great place to stay. The location is really central, and we had a great room overlooking the Castle. The room was a bit strange because there was a black lacquer sliding door separating the bedroom from the living area (which had the window, a sofa and the TV, so we couldn't watch TV in bed, but was quite an interesting feature!). The room was very clean, though the bathroom was a bit shabby and there was a dripping tap. But that wasn't a problem, and we could deal with a shabby bathroom in exchange for such a great view and interesting surroundings.

The hotel is fascinating, the corridors are massive spaces with geometric patterns, and the reception is really bright and open. The reception staff were really friendly and fantastic and were happy to give us an early check in and store our bags for the day after we'd checked out.

Some tips: If you turn left when you come out the hotel you'll come to a big road with a cinema, and lots of really nice homely restaurants (I had both the best Chinese meal and the best Italian meal of my life on that road!). It's only a few minutes walk into the centre of town. I'd read that the hotel is surrounded by lap dancing bars, "massage" parlours, etc - that is true, but it really isn't a problem. It isn't a threatening area at all, and we weren't kept awake by any of the noise outside - another bonus of the sliding door separating the bed from the window!

Also, if you want to catch a bus to the airport there is a special airport bus about 5/10 minutes walk away from the hotel. The reception staff were happy to direct us, and were keen that we didn't waste money on a taxi when the bus stop was so near and took the same amount of time.

We didn't eat dinner at the hotel, but had breakfast there both mornings, and though we had to queue for a long time the first morning to get a table, we overcame this the second day by getting up a bit earlier. Breakfast was lovely, a massive selection of cooked breakfast, croissants, cereals, everything you could want really. Also, we had some interesting cocktails in the hotel bar next door.

We had a really great stay and would definitely stay there again.
