Stay in affordable 3-star hotels in Edinburgh

As all the UK, Edinburgh may have the reputation of being very expensive for a holiday trip. But you will find many affordable accommodations here and you'll not need to spend a fortune. Among the most appreciated neighbourhoods are Stockbridge, the Old Town, Leith, and the New Town. You can find 3-star hotels in Edinburgh in any of these four areas. For a historical and cultural trip, both the New Town and the Old Town will be the most suitable options. Leith is a better choice for a family vacation because it is quieter and closer to the harbor. If you stay in Stockbridge, you’ll find a diverse selection of small shops and a handful of fantastic pubs and inventive eateries.
