“Great hotel for a city break in Edinburgh.”

The George is a great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. We were greeted with champagned on check-in before proceeding to our lovely big room with a large comfy bed. The hotel bar was a lovely place to hang out before being in walking distance of Edinburgh's city centre attractions.

“Great room, Great place etc etc”

The Hotel George is located conveniently in amongst trendy bars, bistros and boutiques. Not at all my scene to be honest but it did give the area an elegance which followed into the hotel. The grand reception was a delight and although check in was busy the staff were obviously being as efficient as they could and the concierge was a pleasant chap. The room was decorated tastefully with a modern twist on a Scottish theme which certainly lifted my spirits and the bathroom was clean and soothing. All in all a great location and choice. Well done.

“loved the whole experience”

This was a great overall experience. I will definitely go back to The George Hotel. We were treated nicely. Everyone was friendly. The location was within walking distance of the bus depot and the Royal Mile. There were great shops just a block over and plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Our view out our window was spectacular. I did have to get used to daylight lasting until 10:30 and sunrise starting by 4:30. Thank goodness for great drapery in the rooms.
