Premier Inn Edinburgh Park. 3 miles from airport and directly on the tram line which runs every 15 minutes to the airport.

The Hilton and Doubletree are very close and really are a short walk. We stayed at the Hilton and it was fine and very convenient. No concerns about rolling are bags at 3 am to get to the airport. Also easy access to the city on the tram.

Just departed Edinburgh airport this morning on an 8:00 flight, so arrived at British Air check in at 5:00 (check in line not bad at that point; MUCH longer 30 min. Later). Stayed at Hampton By Hilton last night and also on 1st night after arriving in Edinburgh. Easy 10 minute walk to/from terminal along a sidewalk/located near air traffic control tower. Helpful front desk. Printed boarding passes in lobby.

I don't know how early your flight is, but for whatever it's worth on a recent trip in June we stayed in New Town (right off St. Andrew Square) and took the tram from there to the airport - 25 minutes or so, cheap and very easy. Trams run every 7 minutes between 7 am and 7 pm and then every 10 minutes otherwise. Very convenient and reliable option which could give you one more night where you could be in the heart of it and not stuck at an airport hotel.
