Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG
Second time I have stayed here. Very convenient for Edinburgh, with a bus stop right outside the door. Bar area and breakfast were very good. Parking is limited and you may not always find a space. The pool area is basic but satisfactory.

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile
From value for money point of view, I rank this property a bit on low side. But I keep in mind that overall price levels of Edinburgh hotels are high.

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh
I gave a 4 star rating only because the room was small for what we paid, but nicely appointed and clean. Great toiletries (and even a wash cloth which was a pleasant surprise). We had the buffet breakfast and the service and variety was excellent.

The Resident Edinburgh
We stayed on the 7th floor and had a stunning view of the castle. The front desk staff were all very helpful. The room was very clean. It was well located for all of our walking needs with bus stations nearby when we wanted to be out of the cold
