Point A Edinburgh St Andrew Square

10/10 Excellent
"Clean room available for early check in, slightly earlier than planned too, was very helpful. Greeted by friendly smiling face to explain check in process. Slept well, although on main thoroughfare there was no noise. Airy rooms, working lifts, great breakfast bar for £13 each. I would say very satisfactory and a great start to our tour of Scotland. Recommend."
