Point A Hotel Edinburgh St Andrew Square

Set just off St Andrew Square, Point A Hotel Edinburgh St Andrew Square puts you right in the city-centre sweet spot. Princes Street, George Street and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery are close by, while the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle and Calton Hill are all within easy reach on foot. The nearby tram stop makes airport journeys pleasingly simple, too, so you can get from runway to cobbles without a transport saga.

Back at the hotel, things are compact, modern and fuss-free. There’s free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour reception, luggage storage and relaxed shared spaces for planning the next wander. It’s a smart choice if you want a clean, central base that keeps the focus on the city rather than the hotel frills.
