Seriously Average

Review by: Scott , Aberdeen, United Kingdom

Stayed: Jun 2009

The best thing about this hotel is the location.

The front of the hotel and the reception area gave a good impression and that is what is mainly shown on the photographs however I'm afraid the room wasn't up to the standard I expected, it was pretty shabby, also there was no soap in the bathroom!

The Point Hotel dates back to the 60's and it was evident in the decor in the corridors, it was all a bit drab.

The bar poured a nice pint, the only thing we ate at the hotel was the breakfast and this was very poor, luke warm and pretty tasteless.

I won't be staying at the Mercure Point Hotel again

Recommended - the Mercure Edinburgh Point

Review by: Fiona , Glasgow, United Kingdom

Stayed: May 2009

We stayed at the Mercure Point while in Edinburgh for a wedding recently and were really impressed. The receptionist was fantastic - she sorted it so we could check in early, gave us great advice about getting to the wedding venue and even remembered to ask us the following day how the wedding had been. All staff we came into contact with were really smiley and helpful. The corridors were a little strange with coloured lighting (!) but it was quirky rather than weird. And the room itself was modern, light and with a big comfy bed. There didn't seem to be any air conditioning, which wasn't great given it was the hottest weekend of the year, but I guess that's what we get for living in Scotland ;-) Breakfast had a wide selection and overall we felt we'd had great value for money. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The Point Hotel offers a welcoming frendly enviroment, located within good walking distance of the town centre providing excelent views of the castle. however i felt that the menu selection was lacking in choice and was very little portions.

overall i enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel.

Check in and out were trouble free and fine.
Building was unusual in parts, though wasn't a problem.
Bar closed earlier than expected but the following morning I was pleased about that!
I may recommend.
