The newly refurbished George is in a terrific location, one block from all the pubs of Rose Street and two blocks from the center of Princes Street. Waverly Station is a ten minute walk, and the Royal Mile is another five minutes. The room we had was modern, large, and very comfortable. Breakfast was bountiful. Overall, The George was terrific. more

Just spent 2 days in Edinburgh, and needed a hotel in close to the station. A colleague reccomended this hotel and I found it to be fantastic value for money. Rooms are lovely, the attached Tempus bar serves superb coctails and I couldn't fault the breakfast buffet - the best black pudding I've had for ages. Fantastic central location if... more

The George Hotel has many things going for it - amazing location, beautiful lobby, large and refurbished bedrooms. However we found the service bizarre - we specifically asked for no wake up calls yet on Day 1, we were woken up at 7am for our 'coach to the highlands' which we DID NOT ORDER and on Day 2, we were... more

We stayed here last weekend. We were given Room 204 - this is described as a Superior Double. I asked at reception what was the difference between a standard room and a superior and I was informed that the superior rooms were slightly larger - I therefore cannot imagine how small the standard rooms are as Room 204 was certainly... more

We stayed in the George hotel in August 2008 at the beginning of a short tour of Scotland. The hotel is very centrally located, minutes walk from Princes St and Waverley Station and across Princes St. Gardens from the castle. The hotel is really 4 (I think) connected Georgian townhouses, and the impressive exterior is echoed in the reception areas.... more

Dale of Melbourne, Australia We booked 2 nights at the George as part of a package for the Tattoo. We had been touring Europe for a month and were looking forward to staying in a bit of luxury, or what we thought would be luxury as we were paying $AUD550 a night. The George is centrally located and we were... more

Have stayed in The George twice, once as a valwntines day surprise trip, where we were in a superior room. This was a package with a cheaper price than normal and it was worth every penny. Check in was slow but it gave us time to relax whilst waiting. The room was complimentary upgrade and was huge and the bathroom... more

It is with regret that I had some problems with this hotel. I stayed with work and was put in a standard room at the back of the hotel. The room was nice, but next to the aircon vents. As I'm a light sleeper, I asked If there was a chance to change room. Excellent reception staff, very understanding -... more

We would reccomment it to anyone. ab fab! more

We get a lot of comments about these. We are adding a further 50 rooms onto th hotel as we are so busy, this extensuon will also have a...

The only saving grace was that we didn't pay the full price and we got a late deal. We stayed one night and that was more than enough. Firstly when we arrived there was no one to check us in. Finally someone came to serve us and said that there was only one person who had authority to check us... more
