Slightly old fashioned but had everything you need. Great breakfast, great service. Awesome shower! Good location also.

There's a nice bar with local beers; fod was very good; fat juicy ham steaks andd scampi and a magnificent breakfast. Nice rooms All at...

It was only an overnight stay for me and at £40 i wasn't expecting much. The room was pretty much bog standard, but was clean and comfortable and so was the toilet. Let down by an awful breakfast though!
The menu was very small and basic for a sunday afternoon.... 7 people went for this meal and 2 people had their starter around 5 mins before the rest of our starters came. When they did come the food was cold. The main again was cold and the amount of portions of veg that we were to share were small...

This place this looks dated from the outside as well as the inside and is vastly overpriced! The tv in our room barely worked and the shower did not work at all despite complaints to reception!!! Breakfast was not bad but did not make up for a terrible nights sleep on an uncomfy matteress.
I have stayed at the George and Abbottsford, twice a year for the past 5 years! Now that in itself must say something. Excellent service.Comfortable rooms. Great food.Very pleasing to the pocket! and the staff are excellent.I could go on but only have a few characters left. Colin Wilson
The hotel looks dated from the outside so what people expect from the inside rather surprises me. Room very clean and warm once i put the heat on. Good shower, large fluffy towels .excellent nights sleep. Complemented the chef for cooking the most perfect breakfast. Very good for the price i paid.
Thank you for your comments.

Oh Dear, what a shame. Arrived to no heating on in the room, outside temperature 8 degrees. Very poor lighting throughout the hotel. Worst of all no hot water at 7.30 am- atrocious. Friendly staff and a nicely set out breakfast buffet couldn't redeem this place.

We used this hotel as our base for the Edinburgh Tattoo for three nights. It is situated in the lovely town of Melrose, which has a lot going for it. Whilst the hotel could do with some refurbishment work it did not detract from our stay. The service was very good and the food exceptional. Plenty of choice at breakfast...
