The hotel had just opened for stay, everything was very new, clean and functional. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Location is amazing, walking distance to the Old Town, Waverley Station and the bus stop to and from the airport (Waverley Bridge). We will use Point A Hotel at St. Andrew square if we are in Edinburgh again. Definitely recommend!

Brand newly refurbished so very clean lines and everything fresh. Bijoux is ideal word to describe only problem was size of bathroom… not enough space for a tall person to sit on toilet properly in the room. We stayed I. Room 115. We would stay again as very good value for money during the fringe, but would request bigger bathroom if was an option. Other than that great location, very friendly and helpful staff

No shoe horn in the room! Only one salt container for all guests at breakfast. Egg ice cold and hard boiled obviously day before. Super good staff at reception and breakfast ladies. No hand rail at the entrance stairs. Not disable friendly

The beds are comfy and room is quiet, breakfast was included and it was alright, the location is central which helps. Most of the staff were friendly, and they allowed us to leave our bags in the lobby for a few hours before our train. However, for the price, the room we selected was not uncomfortable but an awkwardly small size for the two of us, good for one night but still a bit cumbersome - no wardrobe, kettle, etc. Maybe if we chose another room it would’ve been different but I’m not sure. Regardless, for the price we paid, I believe you could get something a bit better for a similar price nearby. Overall, not an awful place to stay and one that I think will get better with time, but also one that was worth leaving a review for.

In late may I booked my reservation for 2 nights at Point A Edinburgh St Andrew Square. I got the hotel late July and I was told at the reception the hotel was going to renovation and was not ready, and I had to their sister hotel in Haymarket far from Edinburgh City Centre. I took an Uber to the other hotel but have not been reimbursed yet. I’d have appreciated to learn I had to go to a different hotel and also given the option to cancel my reservation with no costs, so I could have booked a closer hotel. Please reimburse my Uber!

Hotel opened very recently so a few areas behind the scenes were a wee bit unfinished but nothing major. Room was very clean and ideal for an overnight stay in the city. Staff were all very pleasant and professional. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of varied choices for everyone to enjoy. No kettle etc in the room so a good idea to make provisions if you like a wee cuppa. Only moan I have was a recurring noise like a loud gameshow buzzer sounding ever few minutes from around midnight until 2am ish. I couldn't identify the source of the noise which eventually stopped. Didn't get a chance to mention this to reception staff when I left as they were pretty busy and it wouldn't put me off booking again.
