Hotels in Edinburgh

"Overall it was a nice stay but it was a mixed experience. What we loved - The room was lovely, we were really happy with the amenities available in the room. We booked a studio and it came with 2 double beds, good kitchen amenities, large bathroom, washer and dryer and a pretty cool skylight with a black out blind (we were in room 411 on the 4th floor) - Staff were lovely and polite - Location was ideal as it wasn't too far from the station and had plenty of shops, cafes and Christmas activities around. What we didn't like - The room wasn't as clean as we'd hoped. One of the rooms has dust behind the door and the vents for the A/C needed dusting. - There was a little confusion over whether I'd paid, I paid beforehand with Trip.com and it didn't register with them, so they asked for me to pay when checking in, if I hadn't checked I may have needed too. (Also if you're booking, it may be worth going direct as there was a nearly £30 difference between the price I paid through trip.com and what I was 'invoiced' following our stay) - They ran out of shampoo and it had clearly been filled up with water to compensate (not major but if you're paying nearly £200 a night these are the small details I'd expect to be addressed -Finally, this one is for the staff, you have a cool radio in the room in 411 but please check the plug socket as is cuts out and you can hear the electricity buzzing when you plug the socket in. Didn't have any noise issues and I would definitely stay again, though I don't think I'd pay the price I did for it again. (Hotel was charging £158.95, Trip.com charged me £183)"

"My Stay at Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket: Modern Comfort in Scotland's Capital Just returned from a quick overnight at Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket and wanted to share my experience! At £146.13 for the night, it offered a sleek, contemporary stay in one of the UK's most beautiful cities. The location at 152 Morrison Street (EH3 8EB) is absolutely spot-on. Situated in the Haymarket area, it puts you within easy reach of Edinburgh's major attractions while being slightly removed from the tourist crowds. The area has excellent transport links, with Haymarket station nearby, making it perfect for exploring both the historic Old Town and the elegant New Town. I stayed for **one night from Wednesday, July 23 to Thursday, July 24, 2025**. The flexible check-in window (3 PM until midnight) was super convenient for my travel schedule, and the 11 AM check-out gave me enough time to get ready without feeling rushed the next morning. The hotel itself has a modern, minimalist aesthetic (visible in the booking thumbnail), which carried through to my room. Everything was clean, well-designed, and efficiently laid out. Point A is known for their smart, space-saving rooms that focus on quality essentials rather than unnecessary frills – perfect for city explorers who plan to spend most of their time out and about. What I appreciated was the **upfront pricing** – the £146.13 covered everything with no hidden extras. I should note that I opted for a non-refundable rate to get the best price, which was clearly explained during booking. The Trip.com process was straightforward, and their price match and stay guarantee added extra peace of mind. The app's ”Message Property” and ”Call Property” features were handy when I needed to confirm the parking situation nearby. Being able to communicate directly through the app made planning much easier. Is it a sprawling luxury hotel with extensive facilities? No, but that's not what Point A aims to be. It delivers exactly what it promises: a smart, comfortable, well-located base for exploring Edinburgh at a fair price point. **Would I recommend it?** Absolutely! If you're looking for a modern, no-nonsense place to stay in Edinburgh with excellent location and clean, comfortable rooms, Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket is an excellent choice. Perfect for solo travelers, couples, or anyone wanting a quality city break without overspending on accommodation."

"Overall a decent size hotel room for a family of 4 . Could use some instruction manuals for hobs and clean pots. The card key also doesn't work all the time. They request a security deposit from you of about £100 which is not part of the initial booking fee."

"Lovely stay. We stayed in the junior suite, which was super spacious. Each day they refilled the coffee station and gave a candy bar, which was much appreciated. Even though you are outside of the city center there is a bus stop right next to the hotel which gives you easy access to the center."

"My room, 114, was the first one right past the fire exit door. Every time someone closed the fire exit, it slammed shut with a loud 'bang.' To make matters worse, the room faced the street, with constant noise from trams, cars, and people's voices outside the window. It made me realize Edinburgh isn't as quiet at night as one might expect, especially since it's directly opposite the Edinburgh Playhouse. It truly felt like the noisiest room in the entire building. We were just stopping over for one night, so we tolerated it. However, I booked and paid for a twin room on Ctrip, but was given a double room instead. They then claimed I had booked a 'standard room' and that they had no twin rooms available. Whether they had twin rooms or not is one thing, but the real issue is why they didn't receive my correct booking information. On the plus side, the room wasn't particularly small. For luggage storage, guests had to push their own bags into the designated storage room. The breakfast also didn't include any fruit. This truly felt like a 3-star hotel offering nothing more than 3-star service. Abroad, a one-star difference in rating truly means a significant drop in quality, no exaggeration. In China, you might find 4-star hotels that feel like 5-star ones, but that's absolutely not the case overseas."

"The room is tidy and clean. The food in foreign hotels is basically not comparable to that in China. There is a gap, but it is richer abroad and the service is warm."

"The location is perfect, within walking distance of all the historical sites you’d want to see. The hotel staff are even better than the location: friendly, helpful, and very attentive. The cleanliness of the hotel is excellent. I would definitely recommend it to everyone."

"Facilities: Decent. Cleanliness: Acceptable. Location: Situated on a small hill, about a 20-minute drive from the city. The breakfast selection was limited. Service: The front desk staff were friendly. However, the room we were given was not ideal, as it was located right next to the elevator. Additionally, one of the rooms was on the mezzanine level, lacked a window, and suffered from poor ventilation."

"it was a great experience. The ambiance was very nice 24 seven there was a receptionist and also the cleanliness was good and food is also good. I would highly recommend someone who is visiting Edinburgh to stay there because it’s closer to the town. It’s very affordable and and one of the best places to be around very close to the Dean village as well."

"Absolutely loved this hotel! The staff are so enthusiastic and helpful- nothing is too much trouble! The rooms are fantastic: larger than average, and equipped with EVERYTHING you could possibly need as a traveller: tea & coffee (sugar, tea, coffee), a microwave, stove, working fridge, and AMPLE table space options! There was even a portable clothes line in the bathroom. Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
