travelodge

try my mate Dave Tweedie and his lovely sister Tessa at 53 Frederick Street – B&B, very central and good value for money…if they have availability…

travelodge on rose street is fine for a 1min trip to wetherspoons for breakfast

Here
It's a B&B about 5 min in a cabs from Royal Mile – excellent, comfortable and free parking

There are none, there are only expensive good hotels and cheap grotty ones.

It's the peak tourist season,and the annual onanistic assemblage of Festival W**ks and Meedja types from London, plus the Tattoo, so this is not a good time to try and find bargain rooms. Stay in Penicuik it's only a maroon bus away and mostly harmless.
