Stop looking for hotels in Edinburgh.
Try looking in Livingston or Bathgate - a 15-20 minute, inexpensive commute by train.
You could try the Premier Inn in Livingston for example (I've never been in the place so it isn't a recommendation), or the Cairn Hotel in Bathgate (I was last in there 25 years ago) - both are under £50 per night and you might do better with internet rates.
Alternatively he could come live with us, if, that is, he doesn't mind sharing a house with four females in varying degrees of madness, that would be the cheapest - we might even pay him!
