The 52-room Cairn Hotel Edinburgh is a centrally located value hotel in Edinburgh’s New Town. Set just off a main road in a quiet area, the hotel is within easy reach of most major attractions via public transportation or healthy walk. The Cairn offers a delicious and plentiful continental breakfast each morning (for a surcharge) in a bright breakfast room; later in the day, the bar offers snacks, cocktails, and camaraderie. Guest rooms are small and simple, but modern, spotlessly clean and cheery. Rates are competitive, but it's also worth comparing prices with the nearby Ramsay's B&B.

The Inn on the Mile, is, as the name suggests, located on the Royal Mile in the heart of Old Edinburgh and within walking distance of several landmarks, including Edinburgh Castle and Scottish Parliament. The nine-room boutique hotel is housed within a former bank building that still has the original ceiling cornice molding and exposed brick plus modern designer finishes. The upper-middle-range hotel has a distinct style, but also minor drawbacks, such as no elevator. As an alternative, travelers could try the neighboring Stay Edinburgh City Apartments - Royal Mile with similar rates and full kitchens, but also no elevator.

The Chester Residence easily provides some of the most luxurious self-catering apartment accommodation you'll find in Edinburgh. The 23 apartments are crammed full of high-end gadgetry and top-of-the-range kitchen appliances, and finished with sharp, designer styling with a masculine edge. They're spacious too and while some open to gardens, others have views over the city -- though no elevators means some leg-work is required to access these. The location is pleasant, though the city's bustling center is beyond walking distance. While rates are inevitably high, the attention to detail and sheer level of luxury makes these a great deal for those wanting to splash out.

The 161-room Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre is a simple lower-middle-range hotel with a convenient location near theaters, shopping along Princes Street, and public transport. Rooms are chain-like and a bit dated, but clean, and come with comfortable beds, free Wi-Fi, electric kettles, and flat-screen TVs with a few international channels. A solid breakfast buffet is served daily free of charge, and the lobby lounge has drink and nibbles menus. However, with no full restaurant or fitness center, the property is barebones even by the chain’s standards. Still, guests wanting to keep up with their workout routine can request a voucher for discounted rates at a nearby local gym. Travelers seeking something a little bit more stylish may want to compare rates at the Ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile, which is also closer to most major attractions.
