Edinburgh Hotels

Hi, I am going to edinburgh for a short trip, 3 nights.

I have never been there, and I was wondering which hotels would you guys recommend that doesn't stray too far from the main attractions and still has competitive pricing.

Thanks.

there's a travelodge just off the royal mile that's pretty central and probably pretty cheap.

just had a look and it's £70 per night for some random date in march - there's another one slightly less central but by no means out of the way for £32 per night - the £38 savings would easily cover taxi fares anyway.

We got 3 nights in the sheraton in Edinburgh through lastminute for £99/night. Which frankly for the room we had and the fact its slap bang in the centre of town was a cracking deal. They're on there a lot as are many of the big Edinburgh hotels like the Apex (another good one). It's worth checking out.

I stayed at the Apex International, which was very nice, and just next to the castle. I can't remember exactly how much it cost, but i think it was around 80-90 a room.

I also stayed at the jury's inn, which is also fairly central, and it was about 60-70/night I think.

that's not even in Edinburgh, never mind being central!

Looks lovely though. I actually think that might be the place one of my old flatmates took his girlfriend on "holiday" one year (from Edinburgh!).

I'll second this, nicest hotel I've ever stayed in, mainly due to the excellent service I received. I think it was the international that I stayed in, it was the newest one of the three but I'm sure they're all nice

Edit - I've just checked the website and it was the CITY hotel I stayed in. Here's the link http://www.apexhotels.co.uk/hotels/edinburgh-city/

How about the balmoral hotel?

Ooh stay at Le Monde, each room is themed after a different country.. very very cool. A lillll bit pricier.. but youll love it. If youre alone and just looking for a place to crash.. then not sure sorry.
