Ramsay's B&B occupies part of an inconspicuous and typically Edinburgh Georgian terrace in the Canonmills neighborhood on the eastern edge of Edinburgh's New Town. The owners of this budget property provide a particularly warm welcome -- with whiskey -- and interiors are impeccably finished yet homey. Rooms are pleasant, with wood floors and crisp colors, though the smallest of the four is tiny, with a shared bathroom. Rates aren't cheap for a bed-and-breakfast, but the amount of repeat visits from guests is testimony to the guesthouse's special atmosphere.

This upscale boutique hotel is right in the heart of lively Edinburgh. Just at the end of Princes Street, all the main attractions are a short walk away. The hotel has a truly Scottish personality, and a cool, contemporary style. Each of the 31 rooms is dedicated to a Scottish icon like Rod Stewart, and decorated in a modern, minimalist way. The restaurant serves great Scottish dishes and the bar is a stylish hotspot for both tourists and locals. Angels Share is slightly cheaper than the nearby Tigerlily, so it offers great value in a hard-to-beat location.

The Royal Scots Club is a private members club that opened its doors as a hotel to the public whilst maintaining all of its traditional heritage. Location of this mid-range property is excellent, being set in the quieter, upmarket New Town while being just about within walking distance of the center. The 25 individually decorated rooms are cozy, and some have great views -- though basement level can feel dingy. A dress code for dining, and old-fashioned interiors won't appeal to all, though rates are good for a mid-range hotel in Edinburgh and there's certainly nothing else quite like it about.

The AmarAgua is a traditionally styled bed-and-breakfast housed in a quaint terrace townhouse built towards the end of the 19th century. The five guest rooms are clean and homey, and most have four-poster beds. As well as particularly friendly hospitality from the owners, breakfast is a real highlight with a range of options from haggis to waffles -- though guests might need to set an alarm not to miss it. Location of this budget property is pleasant and quiet, though a 15-minute bus journey from the city center. If setting isn't an issue, then rates are very reasonable and there's very little to find fault with at this particularly welcoming Edinburgh guesthouse.

No. 11 Brunswick Street is an upscale, charming boutique hotel in a quiet area on the edge of the city center. Built in 1822, the property still retains some of its beautiful original features, such as ornate cornices and ceiling roses. The 10 rooms are chic and elegant, with luxurious bathrooms. There’s an excellent restaurant that uses local produce for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. The property may not have all the facilities of a large city center hotel, but it offers a peaceful and stylish retreat.

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.
