One Night Stand
This Hotel is only a stone's throw, and I mean a stone's throw, from the Grassmarket. Very good hotel, staff on arrival where extremely helpful and very polite, (I think her name was Rachel and she was terrific!) Hotel itself looks great from the outside and is like the Tardis inside! It's huge! Only one downside, shower is run off the taps, and it runs scalding to cold to warm constantly! There is no constant heat which makes showering very difficult! Other than that, great value for money at only £44 for a twin room for a night! I'd definitely stay there again!

Great Stay
While staying here we took an overnight tour through Scotland. The Point Hotel kindly secured our luggage while we were away for the night so we wouldn't have to drag it along. This was great because even though we had not paid to stay in hotel this night they didn't charge for this convenience, though we did stay another night upon our return from tour. Great, friendly and helpful staff. Call a cab, You got it, find an after hour place to eat, You got it. My kid of service.

Sightseeing tip:
Short walk from hotel
By walking the "Grass Market" avenue you pass many eating and drinking establishments without the need to climb the hill to the "Royal Mile" area which sets on a long hilltop. Street is kind of in the valley alongside the hill. Great energy saver if you prefer to be afoot.
