Yes they were going through a refurb and it was a little confusing as you had to walk through the restaurant to get to the hotel rooms but the staff were fantastic and very helpful the room was clean and the views were stunning. The hotel is in... More

We held our evening wedding reception here in December 2012. Although we enjoyed the evening, the experience left a lot to be desired. The reception was held in the Sky Bar which is a great venue, with beautiful views of the castle. The bar prices are reasonable - which is unusual for a wedding venue - and the staff ensured... More

Really disappointed to find I was on a building site - come back when the £5 million has been spent. First room was very tired with badly made bed and no view but final blow came when I could not get the kettle out of the wardrobe without moving the bedside table. So back to the temporary reception area where... More

My partner and I have just returned from a two night stay at Point. Whilst the location is good and the staff helpful, they are the only positive things I can say about this hotel. Decor is dated to say the least, it looks uninviting and cold. The standard of the furnishings was poor - the couch was marked, the... More

We stayed at the Point Hotel Edinburgh in Edinburgh, Scotland, and it had a great view of the Edinburgh Castle. It's location was great. The room was very nice.

Upon arrival at the hotel the staff were friendly and efficient. I knew that the hotel was/is undergoing major refurbishment, so was fully prepared for the slightly confusing way of actually checking and etc. Was fine after that. I was also slightly concerned about how the room would be, especially having read some recent reviews. I needn't have been! The... More
