Six Brunton Place is a beautifully presented property set in a typically Edinburgh Georgian townhouse on the outskirts of the city center. While there's plenty within walking distance, much of historical Edinburgh is a bit far (Old Town is around 25 minutes on foot). The property's four rooms are upscale, with plaid bed throws and original wood floors or ceiling beams, as well as modern luxury amenities including premium cable, quality toiletries, and thick robes. A daily free breakfast including fresh-squeezed juices and smoked salmon is served in the cozy dining room and gets excellent reviews from guests. The also upscale and often cheaper Fraser Suites has a more central location, but it lacks the intimacy and individualized decor of Six Brunton Place.

Adria House is a mid-range, family-run guesthouse set in a fine Georgian terrace with traditionally styled interiors and plenty of period charm. Its pleasant, cobbled street location is walkable from the main station and offers easy access to Calton Hill -- though Edinburgh's historic center is a stretch on foot. The seven rooms are spacious and cozy, though a couple lack en-suite facilities, and there's no elevator. Rates are around what's expected for a good quality bed-and-breakfast in Edinburgh, and it is certainly one of the nicer ones, with Wi-Fi and a cooked English breakfast included.

The 53-room three-pearl Parliament House Hotel is a historic property that dates to the 1760s. It's conveniently located at the foot of Calton Hill along Waterloo Place, mere yards from Princes Street, and is within a 15-minute walk of Waverly Station. Despite its central location, it's tucked away on a quiet, cobbled street, away from the city's hubbub and traffic. Public spaces are traditional, homey, and cozy -- think roaring log fires and high ceilings with ornate moldings -- but the rooms, which range from Singles to Suites, are modern and colorful with big bay windows. They include free Wi-Fi, minibars, coffee- and tea-making facilities, and flat-screen TVs. The hotel delivers good value for travelers who want a central yet quiet location in Edinburgh.

The 77-room Ten Hill Place Hotel is a modern upper-middle-range hotel owned by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (with all profits going to training surgeons worldwide) overlooking a quiet square within walking distance of the Royal Mile. Rooms are comfortable and pleasant, if a bit generic, clad in earth tones and equipped with large beds, flat-screen TVs, and coffee- and tea-making facilities. Many have lovely views of Arthur's Seat in Holyrood Park. An abundance of meeting rooms and conference facilities makes this hotel particularly popular with business travelers. There is a lovely, colorful wine bar serving light meals, as well as an elegant restaurant with an a la carte menu of locally sourced, seasonal fare.

A four-pearl Victorian country mansion, Norton House Hotel and Spa, built in 1843, sits on 55 acres of beautiful grounds that feature mature trees and pretty hanging baskets. The hotel is a classic stone-built manor with 83 rooms that include a number of luxury suites. Intended as a traditional country retreat, the property is tucked away from the bustle of the city. The spa, located in a separate building, offers a range of treatments, including a form of mud therapy. The hotel is a five-minute drive from the airport, but aircraft noise is not a problem. Edinburgh's city center is half an hour's drive away, making Norton House a good choice for those seeking a bucolic getaway, and for business travelers using its meeting rooms and business facilities, and taking advantage of its proximity to the airport.

Built in 1897, this traditional Edinburgh-stone house has an imposing tower on the side, which was originally used as a lookout for merchant ships coming in to the Port of Leith. Today, the property is a 10-room, mid-range hotel which offers basic rooms and facilities but is good value all around. There’s a good restaurant and bar on-site, and free car parking for guests. Those staying here are likely to need a car as it’s not near any of Edinburgh’s attractions and there’s nothing to see in the immediate vicinity.

While it doesn't look like much from the outside, the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa is a seriously upscale hotel with some outstanding facilities. The largest of its class in the city, the property has a six-floor spa, which includes an impressive rooftop infinity pool with views of Edinburgh Castle -- although the sauna and steam baths cost extra. The 269 rooms are suitably luxurious, with some great in-room tech and swanky bathrooms, some also overlooking the castle. As well as being the biggest hotel in Edinburgh, it's also one of the city's most expensive, but the Sheraton Grand does deliver a luxury experience for the money.

The 23 Mayfield is a luxury bed-and-breakfast housed in an immaculately presented Victorian villa set about a mile south of Edinburgh's historical center. Period interiors are particularly impressive throughout, extending to eight charming rooms with hand-carved mahogany furnishings and, in some, views of Arthur's Seat. Breakfast is a real highlight and one of the best available in the city, while a cozy candle-lit lounge provides a superb setting for a nightcap. While rates are justifiably toward the higher end and the location isn't ideal for exploring the city on foot, this is certainly one of the finest guesthouses on offer in Edinburgh.

Holiday Inn Edinburgh City-West is a modern mid-range hotel in the Craigleith area across a busy road from the Craigleith Retail Park. The hotel has a restaurant and bar, and rooms are functional, clean, and quiet. Free Wi-Fi is offered, but it's often so slow that guests find it necessary to upgrade to faster Wi-Fi, which comes with a fee. The hotel is southeast of the city center -- it's within a five- to 10-minute drive or a 10- to 25-minute bus ride away from such attractions as Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle. Because of its location, rates are lower than what comparable properties would cost in the city center.
