Located in the West End, just a few minutes’ walk from Haymarket Station, Point A Edinburgh Haymarket puts you close to major Fringe venues, Edinburgh’s historic landmarks, and lively food and drink spots. Whether you’re here for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, or a weekend exploring the city, you’ll have it all within easy reach.

• Haymarket Station: Just around the corner from the hotel, Haymarket Station connects you to Edinburgh Waverley, the airport, and other parts of Scotland. During Fringe season, it’s a convenient arrival point and transport hub for reaching venues across the city.

• The “Big Four” Fringe Venues: Some of the festival’s biggest shows happen at Assembly, Gilded Balloon, Pleasance, and Underbelly. They're all within walking distance from us. Book shows in advance - popular performances sell out quickly.

• Traverse Theatre: Known for contemporary new writing, Traverse Theatre is a major stop for theatre lovers during the Fringe. It’s about a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

• Gordon Aikman Theatre: A large-capacity space in the heart of the Fringe scene, just over 15 minutes’ walk or a quick bus ride from the hotel.

• Bedlam Theatre: Student-run and always buzzing during Fringe, Bedlam hosts an intense programme of plays and improv. Around a 15-minute walk from the hotel.

• Summerhall: This arts complex turns into a hub for immersive and experimental performances during Fringe. Reachable in about 20 minutes on foot or 10 by bus.

• Royal Mile: The heart of the Old Town and the Fringe’s street performance scene. Lined with historic buildings, pubs, and shops, it’s around 15–20 minutes on foot from the hotel.

• Edinburgh Castle & The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo: The castle isn’t a Fringe venue, but it’s a must-see and the setting for the world-famous Military Tattoo during August. It’s about a 15-minute walk from the hotel.

From 1 October 2025, all bookings for stays from 24 July 2026 will be subject to a 5% visitor levy, introduced by the City of Edinburgh.

• Payment is required at check-in and is not included in your room rate.
• Some guests may be eligible to reclaim the tax separately through the local council.
