Folks,

Going up for a couple of nights in November for an anniversary party.

Looking for a central hotel. I'd like mid range or plush but the prices seem steep. I stayed at the Balmoral last time but think we got a very special deal.

Any recommendations? Thinking up to £100/night.

Ta!

Plush hotel for £100 a night in Edinburgh, no chance. I have stayed in the balmoral and the glasshouse while on business in Edinburgh and even my corporate rate which is very good is more that.

Try Motel One or the Ibis is well located and cheap.

Stayed in the Holyrood Hotel, which was nice. Avoid, like the plague, the godawful Royal British Hotel.

Try the Rutland hotel, we loved it and very central.
You will struggle for £100pn though.

Hilton Grosvenor worth a look? Stayed there a couple of times, pretty decent. Breakfast is very good.

One Royal Circus was absolutely superb when we stayed there, not sure on cost these days though

Thanks all, Motel One is looking like £80/night which is probably the best compromise so far... Not a fan of ibis!

...and all the others are coming up well over £100/night, might keep an eye out for deals though!

This is where we stayed for the Fringe last year.

OK in a B&B passing itself off as a hotel kind of way. Breakfast was cracking.
Owner thinks he's a bit of a philosopher / poet. Bit of a Gareth at times.
Not Central I admit but lots of bus services and free on-street parking.

Same trip we also got a deal at The Carlton just on North Bridge next to Waverley station. Cheaper than ^^^ and appears grander, avoid.

Great tips, have booked Motel One as the reviews seem great and it's come out at £165 for 2 nights, with 10% cashback from Quidco. Brilliant location for the price (Although it'd obviously be nice to stay in somewhere very posh, it is already an expensive weekend away...)
