    The Apex on Waterloo Place which is at the East end of Princes Street is quite new and in a lovely building.

    Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is on at the Playhouse at that time and is a 5 min walk from the hotel, all the pubs and restaurants are obviously within walking distance too. The other options for shows haven't announced their schedules that far in advance yet.

    At the west end of Princes Street slightly further out is the Hilton which will be a bit cheaper than the Apex

    There's too many hotels to name them all but you will get these two for around £50-£60 each per night with many cheaper and many more expensive available, depends what you are looking for really.

    Edit: just noticed you said 2 friends so these probably won't do triple rooms, somewhere like this might be better and cheaper at £78 for a triple room, even closer to the Playhouse too !

  • try the thistle hotel aswell.
    ...work permit granted!
  • Why don't you try Travelodge or Holiday Inn Express. You could book a family room for around the £75 mark, so long as you don't mind sharing a bed with someone?

    Some of the hotels are really central.

    Failing that, there's also the 5* Youth Hostel which is on Leith Walk

  • Thanks Nessie will do, finding it hard to get anywhere for one night for 3 of us :T

    If you fancy an apartment you could try www.edlets.co.uk. You can put in your requirements and people will get back to you with a price.

    try hilton.co.uk/mailonsunday my mum was using the code earlier, can't check it at the moment if it covers your dates but worth a try.
    Thanks for the advice Martin! :money:
