The Channings Hotel is a four pearl townhouse with 41 rooms spread over five floors. The property consists of five Edwardian townhouses, one of which was once the home of the great Antarctic explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton. Packed with memorabilia from the infamous Antarctic exhibition, period pieces, and humorous art, this hotel has a traditional but informal vibe. The rooms are chic and contemporary with a serene color palette; some bathrooms have separate soaking tubs and stall showers. Guests rave about the friendly and welcoming staff, but the hotel is quite far away from the city center -- at least a good 15-minute walk. For the price, this quaint hotel delivers good value for Edinburgh and is full of character. Wi-Fi is free.

The 143-room Thistle Edinburgh City Center, The King James, is an outpost of the British Thistle chain located in Edinburgh’s New Town. Convenient for business travelers and tourists, the upscale property is surrounded by offices and businesses, but just around the corner from popular Princes Street, a major shopping destination. The hotel aims to provide the “Ultimate Scottish Experience,” and serves some Scottish dishes in its restaurant, but there's a slightly dated, chain-type feel to the property, and the architecture and decor lack local character. Guest rooms are simple and clean, with flat-screen TVs and small but adequate bathrooms. For the conveniences of a chain property, but with more charming atmosphere, guests could try Crowne Plaza Edinburgh - Royal Terrace, a bit outside of the city center.
