The 245-room Edinburgh Marriott is an upper-middle-range business hotel located near the airport and Edinburgh Park. Though lacking in character and showing some age, rooms are comfortable and clean, featuring quality beds, mini-fridges, huge flat-screen TVs, and electric kettles. In-room Wi-Fi is only free for Marriott loyalty program members, though, and rooms overlooking the train tracks may get noise. The lobby bar is a popular spot for evening drinks, and the restaurant serves a good international menu for dinner, as well as a solid breakfast buffet for an extra charge. Free on-site parking, a heated indoor pool, and a well-equipped fitness center are all great perks. Travelers wanting to stay closer to major attractions may want to compare rates at the Apex Haymarket Hotel, which also offers on-site parking.

The 240-room Principal Hotel Edinburgh George Street is a gorgeous, upscale hotel that stands out for its thorough attention to detail and beautiful interior design. Elegant rooms have a decidedly upmarket feel, with quality amenities such as Tuck Boxes holding free snacks, smart TVs, and swish bathrooms. On the downside, some standard units are small for the price, and lower-floor rooms can get some noise during on-site events. The Scottish restaurant and bar is a destination unto itself, as is the wonderful Burr & Co Cafe, which is busy with guests and non-guests alike throughout the day. There is a small, well-equipped gym, but the hotel does not have a spa. Those seeking something more contemporary in this price range, with the additional of a spa and pool, may prefer the Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh.

The Rutland Hotel is a Georgian house that's been converted into a 21st-century luxury boutique hotel with 12 rooms, a family-friendly apartment, and a bovine-themed steakhouse. It's in the heart of Edinburgh’s West End, close to bustling Princes Street and the Financial District. The property is glitzy -- expect silver spray-painted gothic chairs; a chic bar that remains noisy into the early hours; and rooms with views of Edinburgh castle -- but it's not too sophisticated to offer guests home-baked muffins on arrival. Breakfast, which includes plenty of Scottish fare, comes with a fee. The hotel is quiet (it has heavy soundproofing), stylish, and in a convenient location for visiting the city. Travelers might want to also check out the The Bonham, which is within a 10-minute walk, and has upscale rooms at lower rates (though they're less ornate).

An upscale boutique property with 100 rooms, Malmaison Hotel Edinburgh is housed in a former house of ill repute (yes, a brothel). Today, with 100 rooms and suites over four floors, it has overcome its salubrious reputation of 1883. Most rooms are cozy and contemporary, but guests have complained about overheating; portable air-conditioning devices, though, are there to regulate the temperature. The hotel, which has a brasserie, bar, terrace, and small fitness center, is part of the Malmaison hotel chain but has its own individual charm, displayed in its quirky use of tartan cushions and the old winding staircases that lead to the rooms. The property is located in the trendy area of Leith, which is a short cab ride from Waverley Station and within walking distance of the historic Royal Mile. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, making this ex-seaman's mission a lively, trendy pit-stop that delivers good value in Edinburgh.
