Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good
"The hotel was in a great spot, everything that we wanted to do was about a ten minute walk. There are also lots of buses and trains. I would honestly stay here again but I would choose a room with a window. I didn’t mind not having one because they have a curtain and mood lights to make it look like there’s a window but I just would have preferred it since we stayed for four nights. Staff was great and they have lots of info about the city!"
