It was difficult to enter/exit the room without getting wet, especially when carrying luggage. Some maintenance (broken switch) in room, but the maintenance staff was pleasant and resolved the issue within a day. Room was large."

"The hotel boasts the best location for tourists among branded hotels in Royal Mile Edinburgh. We took a three-day hiking trip to Loch Ness and came back at 6pm. The drop-off point at Lawnmarket is just 2 minutes walking from the hotel, so that we still had a lot of time in early evening to revisit the Edinburgh old town center. On the second day, we had to take an early flight back to Seattle, and the airlink stop to the airport was just 10 minutes walking from the hotel. "

There are not a lot of selections and there are no other restaurants nearby. "

"Super helpful front desk and amazing housekeeping. Beware of the hostess with the angry face at breakfast. She is the gatekeeper of guests and angrily stops anyone who enters without her permission. She seated my party of two at a narrow table with no place to set our luggage. I put it behind another table and was told I could not leave it there as the table was needed for other guests. There was nobody even waiting to be seated and there were many extra tables. She just didn’t want me to have...

Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket

Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket

5/5 Excellent
"Small, minimalistic room, but clean. Comfortable bed. Staff were friendly and check in/out easy. Nice beer/wine/coffee/breakfast area and few lounge seats. Have a separate tiny ironing "room" on 2 floors. No desk as stated, only a narrow wall shelf and a folding wooden chair that served no purpose. Motion detection lights in halls have a few second delay, so you'll find yourself wandering in the dark occasionally. Didn't see the value vs alternatives that are more fully featured. "
