Fabulous hotel

Stayed at the george for 2 nights. reception staff very friendly, rooms clean and a good sze. the bed was huge and so comfy. great location for everything. one small (and i mean small) gripe is the bathroom is very minimalist so they didn't have a hook on the back of the bathroom door to hand your towels on nice used and only a very small shelf in the bathroom so no room to put your toiletries that you would normally store in there. overall fantastic stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again

Overpriced vfor what you get

For the price we paid, we certainly expect a little more for themoney. firstly, no paking available. off street parking is an additional cost we had not planned for and did not mention it on the site. rooms had no fridge for a coldie but overal the loction was good in relation to walking around edinburgh.

Great location

This is my 2nd visit to the george and i would definately stay again. one complaint however is the rooms of the 4th floor, 2 of our party had rooms there and as they are both quite tall they had a problem with the ceiling height. the gentleman in question is a little over 6' tall and kept hitting his head on the smoke detector also he found it impossible to use the shower. added to this was the fact that the room was not air conditioned and became extremely warm. in fairness to the hotel they moved the couple to another room after the first night.

No longer "great"

This used to be a great hotel with a marvellous restaurant..i used to love eating there...it is no longer great and the restaurant is now just very expensive average food. there is no parking and no valet service so you have to search up and down george street...almost impossible to find parking. hotel receptionist simply shrugged..."no we dont have valet parking..you can park 10 minutes walk away and we will reduce the fee by 20%." not very helpful for an 80 year old with cardiac problems!! (or anyone else!)

Hogmanay at the george

Excellent location with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. room very pricey but it could've been the time of year. room size smaller than expected also. breakfast was excellent. would use this hotel again if it were cheaper. not 4* standard though.
