Looks great. Prompt service at check in, Got allocated "Panoramic suite " room Found key wouldnt work and when housekeeping let me in- beautiful room and view- unfortunately room already occupied! Got helpful hosuekeeping staff to arrrange other room- poor view, very noisy at 0500hrs and no AC so hot. No apology from desk
Next morning had to queue for breakfast with little indication of timing to sit. Had to take food and go to room- staff clearly under pressure to get more tablecloths and areas to sit guests. Passenger lifts also used by staff with trolleys and sheets/ blankets and what appeared to be rubbish- Had to wait for second lift due to this- completely unnaceptable in an institution of this level.
Food nice and facilities average but a poor front for Edinburgh

We stayed for 3 nights in two rooms, my father and I. We wanted an Edinburgh location and having known Edinburgh well I know this is one of the best located hotels so that was great. When I arrived around 12 I was told checkin was 3 I requested if we could get earlier rooms as both had a bit of a journey and within 15 minutes they had re arranged the rooms and we had access which was brilliant.

The rooms (think they were std double) were well planned although only just big enough, the bedroom itself was great and looking out to George Street (365). I was very surprised at how quiet the room was from outside and inside noise, the only slight noise I could hear was plugs being put into sockets, and some slight noise from outside on the Friday night but very minor the double glazing must work extremely well.

The staff were great when we needed them very friendly and helpful and I even managed to do my online checkin at the concierge desk to avoid the extortionate fees that all hotels seem to think are acceptable for internet access, the sooner there’s an amnesty the better - if pubs can give it free so can expensive hotels, but that’s a rant on worldwide hotels not the George in particular!

My only slight criticism is the bathrooms, they were very small and the flush system is a nightmare, big button on the wall you have to hold in, which for someone with weak wrists (like my elderly father) or a not so good thumb this is pretty hard to do! The other issue is the access to the bath for a shower is quite tight – again if elderly could be an issue.

Parking is a bummer as well about 10 minutes away in a very expensive NCP, so if you're going by car I would recommend alternative method if you can do it.

Ate in the Vin Caffe in Multrees Walk for dinner - outstanding food, service and ambience - would recommend that and also Wildfire in Rose Street.

This was a great hotel to stay at. Located only a 5 minute walk from the train station and the next road over from Princes Street. The staff were friendly and helpful and our room was very good. The only gripe would be the cost of internet use which we thought was quite high.

The restaurant and bar are also very good.

We stayed at The George for 3 nights following us getting married, for a short break. It was lovely and the staff were very very helpful. The only thing I would say that is, it was a very hot week and we had no air con in the hotel, and only realised we could of asked for a fan, when we saw one on the day we were leaving. We had a very noising couple next to us, who had no consideration for anyone else and bang the doors alot!! But never mind we had an excellent stay and we loved Edinburgh and look forward to returning.
