Recent Reviews in Edinburgh

5/5 Excellent

"We enjoyed our 7 night stay at Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket. The hotel is budget friendly and in an excellent location. A quick 15 minute walk and you are in the heart of Edinburgh. If you don’t feel like walking, there is a bus stop less than a minute from the hotel. A five minute walk and you have access to the tram and the Haymarket train station. The tram will get you to and from the airport with ease.The train was perfect for day trips planned during our stay. There are also plenty of dining options in the area. Our room was fantastic. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. The staff are lovely and make you feel welcome. Special shout out to Jamie."
