Alternatively I can get Double Guest Room for 60K points in Hilton or Double Bed Guest Room for 50K in DT or Wed Double for 70K points in Nira. We're only in EDI for two nights so any thoughts appreciated. Our flight is at 3.40 pm so we could probably use at least 1 pm late checkout.
Just completed a stay there on points. 5 nights, was upgraded to a King (forgot what they call it atm) with a castle view on the 5th floor.

Stay was great. I would certainly stay there again if I were to head back to Edinburgh soon.

Literally the only 'complaint' i had, was that it was a LONG walk down the hall when I had had too many drinks.
