Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket

3.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (1418)
"It’s a toss up between Point A and the Hub by Premier Inn around the corner! This one is much better but most of the time not as well priced so on occasions I have to resort to the hub! Clean and modern (nice lobby area where you can grab breakfast or a drink). Other than that it’s fairly basic and most of the rooms are very small! On this occasion I was given an accessible room 101 (not sure why) but it was clean and spacious and on the 1st floor! Not much of a view though! "
