Stayed two nights with a friend at The George Hotel. It's in a great location and the room was very nice and spacious. The staff was exceptionally attentive and friendly, and the breakfast was good with lots of variety. The only issues were the beds, which were so cheap and lightweight they roll away from you when you try to... More

There is no doubt that the George is a fine hotel but there is something not quite right. The staff are friendly, the rooms spacious and well equipped but maybe you should expect a juyst a little more for a hotel in this price bracket. When we arrived we were allocated a room on the first floor in the old... More

All these years of staying in other hotels in Edinburgh without knowing about this one. The staff are fantastic, the price was perfect and the bed was stunningly comfortable. Wish I had had more time to relax in it.
