Very pleasant staff but this is a tired hotel. The room was not really a double, hard to find space for the ironing boated, not enough plugs and the shower room is so small you have to towel off in the bedroom! Heating was switched off so it was freezing and needed a booster. Conference facilities and food acceptable but... More

I stayed here for a long weekend with my dad seeing the sights and watching the rugby. The hotel is in a great location only minutes from the bars and the shopping, and only a short walk to the castle. Its ideal for getting about town and visiting the sights. The hotel itself has no parking which is a bit... More

Lovely hotel and great location - all restaurants and main shopping streets just around the corner! We had a room with windows to the busy George street - maybe I was just tight asleep in the very comfortable bed but wasn't bothered by any noises from the street. More

I stayed here on business recently, the night after having had a very unpleasant stay in a so called upmarket hotel near Manchester and what a relief it was! Outwardly and in the public areas and restaurant, The George oozes olde worlde charm and elegance and the service was in keeping with it, yet once I got into my room,... More

My partner booked us into the George for one night as we were to go to Edinburgh Zoo thefollowing day, for a Christmas present. The location is fantastic as it's right in the City Centre on one of the busier streets. There's no parking however so be prepared to pay for the multi-story and leave your car there (it's a... More

Booked through Booking.com and included a free upgrade to executive package. Good size room, very clean and comfortable as should be expected of the class of hotel. Font desk and porter service excellent. Whilst I've had better hotel breakfasts (& in Edinburgh) it was pleasant & very nice surroundings. The view from room nothing to write home about but the...

I stayed here with my girlfriend for 2 nights on the 28th of January. We arrived very early in the morning and left our bags from the concierge who was very helpful and went off exploring. The hotel itself is in a fantastic location right in the middle of Edinburgh and in easy walking distance to all the main attractions.... More
