I am looking for a cheap hotel in edinburgh or around, outskirts of the city. Dosen't have to be anything fancy. Live in Glasgow and when coming through for nights out, need a place to stay for the night on the cheap. Have looked at travelodge/ holiday inn type places. However these seem to be priced at �80. Surely there is a cheaper option. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
Check out places like Bruntsfield Lodge (Single rooms at �29 per night during the week, �39 at weekends), Westend Hotel (�35 per night during the week, �40 at weekends) and Osbourne Hotel (from �24 per night) at http://www.hostelworld.com
(Use 'Additional search options' to select 'Guesthouses' and 'Budget Hotels').
Oooooh, no - not the Osborne - has really gone down hill. Better options in town - have a trawl through accommodation at http://www.edinburgh.org/ tourist board for Edinburgh.
Also keep in mind the word 'cheap' is removed form Edinburgh in August when a stay in a wheelie bin will set you back �50 a night due to the festival rates.....but that includes breakfast...
