Located right across the road from the end of Edinburgh Airport’s runway, the Premier Inn Edinburgh Airport (Newbridge) Hotel is a solid mid-range option for those with a quick layover in town. There is no fitness center, and the restaurant is only open for breakfast and dinner, but rooms are comfortable and spotless, and feature solid amenities such as free, reliable Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs with many channels, and electric kettles. The restaurant can get crowded in the morning, but it serves a filling breakfast (for a fee) and tasty British pub classics at reasonable prices -- convenient, as there are limited dining options in the area. For a little bit more money, the nearby DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Edinburgh Airport has a gym, a pool, and free airport shuttle service.

It is popular with big groups, and noise can sometimes be an issue, but it is one of the few hostels in town where each dormitory has its own private bathroom.

Its location right off the Royal Mile is convenient for sightseeing. Travelers wanting a quieter stay may prefer the Code Hostel

The two-and-a-half-pearl Regent House Hotel is a small and pleasant inn that's a decent option in New Town for travelers who want a cozy stay for a reasonable rate. Restaurants, bars, the Edinburgh Playhouse are within a short walk, and the tram is close at hand for access to the airport and attractions like Old Town and Edinburgh Castle. The only major property feature is a free continental breakfast that draws solid reviews from guests. Most of the 17 colorful guest rooms (plus one three-bedroom apartment in an annex building) are spacious, and all come with flat-screen TVs, DVD players, electric kettles, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms share a bathroom. Breakfast at the nearby Ramsay’s Bed and Breakfast is a more elaborate, traditional Scottish breakfast with black pudding and kippers, but the hotel is a bit farther from attractions.

The Jurys Inn Edinburgh is a mid-range, 186-room hotel located next to Edinburgh's main train station. Set on a relatively quiet road around the corner from the Royal Mile, the location is excellent for exploring the city center on foot with the castle just 10 minutes away.
