I had a family member join me on my trip to Edinburgh, but they didn’t want to spend what I was on my hotel. In the end we found the four points flex. I was shocked how affordable this hotel was especially considering the location. This place is right in the heart of Edinburgh and just minutes from the royal mile and a 15 minu Walk to St. James Square. Seriously great prices and the staff goes abo...

This is a great hotel at a great location. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again. I do wish the rooms were just a little bit bigger so the bed could have proper end tables on each side. There is also a small ventilation problem, as in no way to get fresh air. The windows do not open and there is no bathroom fan.

Thankfully it wasn’t too cold but this could be a problem in the winter. - Daily housekeeping only empties the tra...

Great location, very friendly and helpful staff, met 2 ladies from reception and both were so nice and knowledgeable. Rooms are clean and big, location is superb, but for the price I would have hoped a bit more amenities: like a fridge, TV casting capability and the room needs a but if cosmetic renovation. But if you are not very picky, everything else is superb.

When we had to change the hotel late in the evening we were very well and helpfully received here. Thanks to the staff of the reception Friday evening the 18.7. The location is almost perfect for exploring the city, bus stops right outside the door. The price for the rooms is reasonable according to the location and time. If we want to visit the city, we will definitely come back
