Reasonably priced B&B in Edinburgh City Centre?
 

Hello,

Will be traveling to Edinburgh next month for one night. There are two of us and we're looking for a reasonable but nice B&B near the city centre. We don't need anything fancy but am wondering if anyone out there has any good reviews of any B&B's within the city that they have stayed at and would recommend. We are in our early 30's and in great health so we don't mind a bit of walking but would love to remain as close to the "action" of the city centre as possible, as we only have a short time within the city. Thank you so much for any suggestions you may have!

We can -- If you tell us what you consider 'reasonable'

One night in Edinburgh? Why bother? You'll just get unpacked and then pack again. Make it two or three nights.

There is a lastminute.com store in the train station. I got my B&B there but it was a 15 minute bus ride from the center.

I can understand lots of reasons one would spend one night in Edinburgh. A lay over. Or one night to recover from the jetlag before heading elsewhere. Or one night before hooking up w/ a guided tour. Or one night before catching a cruise. Lots and LOTS of reasons make sense. But we still need your budget. An actual number . . . .

We all have different ideas as to the definition of reasonable.

But if 100 GBP/night is within range, I highly recommend the Elmview. www.elmview.co.uk

It is not quite in the city center but only about a 10-minute walk from the Royal Mile, with many restaurants within walking distance, in a quiet neighborhood right on The Meadows. (We stayed there partly because we had a car and they offer private parking.) Fantastic rooms, lovely hosts, and delicious breakfasts. Worth every penny!

I can recommend 14 Hart Street where we stayed for 2 nights. It's in a quiet back street but very near the main tourist areas and we found it easy to walk everywhere. Only downside is that if you have a car there is very limited parking close by and we had to park a few mins walk away. But if you are arriving by train it's just round the corner.

Thanks everyone for your help. We will check out the recommended B&B's. Appreciate it!

Most B&Bs insist on a two- or even three-day minimum booking, esp over a weekend. Most hotels allow one-night reservation.
