Chic hotel in Old Town near the Castle with interesting contemporary rooms and good food. Won a number of awards but has lost out to snazzy newcomers. Some good deals available!

An excellent stylish, quirky hotel in the heart of Edinburgh, not far from the Royal Mile. Great staff - very helpful. Delicious food. Recommended.

A stunning stylish, chic contemporary hotel in the centre of Edinburgh,  great funky Italian bathrooms and plenty of amenities. However can be rather pricey - check out deals on Laterooms for best bargains. Great location in the centre of the action.

A super-chic small boutique hotel in the new town - winner of the Conde Naste Traveller award, amongst many. Recommended.

10 rooms with busy and delicious cocktail bar attached for a weekend of riotous living, sleeping and taking in Edinburgh. Definately a hotel for the dirty weekend (make that romantic). Cool!

A rather classy boutique hotel in Edinburgh's west End. Beautifully    appointed and well equipped rooms.

Central to Old Town of Edinburgh and posh as all get up. Chester Residences are aimed at a combination of the discerning business traveller (aka those with major expenses budgets) and the weekend visitor looking for comfort and luxury. They hit bullseye with both! The winner of Tripadvisors Travellers Choice 2010. Recommended.

Wonderful location on the roof with rooms facing out onto Calton Hill. Private and modern but in the centre of town. Snap it up if the rate is good.

Luxury boutique townhouse hotel in Edinburgh's new town. Highly recommended.

The Scotsman Hotel in Edinburgh provokes wildly differing responses from its guests: those who love it and its staff and those who find is tired and lacklustre. For some the Scotsman is the highlight of their trip with particular praise for the concierge who is all knowing about whats on in town. The Scotsman's central location makes it perfect for visitors who plan to browse through Edinburgh.

On the downside, some guests complain of noise from Waverley Station and the 06:50 train announcements as well as hot rooms with dodgy thermostats. Parts of the Scotsman could do with a bit of a makeover.

Ideal weekend break and romantic weekend hotel located in the very centre of Edinburgh and containing its own cocktail bar and nightclub. Chic, loud and brash and also a lot of fun. Recommended.
