“"Two nights in a fine hotel"”

Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

The George Hotel is in an excellent location, just up from Princes Street and near many Edinburgh attractions. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The entrance and reception area is very grand! My room was at the back of the hotel and was very quiet. I felt that it was rather small for a standard double but the bed was... More

“Panorama Suite - Perfect Venue”

I recently held a birthday lunch in The George Hotel’s stunning Panorama Suite – a unique and perfect venue for a special occasion. From my very first contact with staff at the hotel I always felt confident they had everything in hand and their attention to all the details was appreciated. Whenever we either emailed or spoke on the phone... More

“Top location, rather not room 112/116”

This is a classic hotel with modern rooms in the shopping highstreets of Edinburgh. Indeed great efficient professional reception desk and staff. We booked one night through Agoda.com. We got room 112 (first floor) which is on the outskirts of the hotel property, but has only a small window that you want to keep closed because of the jet engine... More

We booked a room via the web "treat your partner", and had a great welcome: un upgraded Executive room, rose petals (synthetic !) on the King size bed, chocolates and strawberries, and... 2 glasses of champagne in the Tempus bar - a nice surprise for...

Dear Guest, I was delighted to learn that you had selected one of our packages - "Treat Your Partner". We do have other great packages available on our website, so please visit and have a look.

“Very good stay at The George”

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

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. Sorry that beds were not to your liking. We normally get very positive comments regarding the beds, so much so that I even bought one too. The city centre streets can get extremely busy from time to time with party revellers making their way home. Do let us know if you plan to... More

“Awesome staff”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

My best experiences so far at this hotel, and I've been staying for about a month, has been how accommodating the staff is. They go out of their way to see that I have what I need. Only down side to the place is that they don't have a gym. Otherwise the location is perfect since I conduct business just... More
