1. Location is good
2. Bell boy is proactive when checkin
3. Room is clean basically BUT RATs are running on the ceiling, you can clearly hear the sound of them.
4. Reception staffs are chit chatting loudly in the lobby.
5. Showing water are actually cold while the temperature is 4degree Celsius.
Will not come again because of the horrible mouse during the night.

If you are visiting Scotland you need to stay at this hotel. It was very walkable to all the excursion around the city such as the Edinburgh castle and the royal palace. It was a fast check in and every staff member was very nice and professional. When you leave the hotel and arrive back there is always someone there to open the door and ask about your day. The room was very spacious and had great room service. I will be returning!

This hotel is not worth its cost. Some of the rooms lookout into the neighbors, no city view at all. No morning coffee in lobby. No place to just grab a pastry and go before heading out in the morning. No usb ports. Our showers did not work. I would not stay here again.

I normally don’t like to review places or sounds negative but this case deserves one.
This review is a combination of the standards/price of the hotel combined with Hotels.com prices.
1. £600 pound for 2 nights without breakfast is in my opinion not worth the money. The property is very old, rooms are nothing special and the phone/WiFi reception is none. The WiFi does not work and normal service is for some reason non existing in the room.
2. I booked the room 3 weeks in advance, 1 week before the arrival I saw on hotels.com and all other sites that the same room for the two nights was £430 instead of £600. I contacted hotels.com that said they don’t do price guarantee anymore and I was not able to cancel. I contacted the hotel, they said they can’t touch the reservation since it’s made by via hotels.com even though it was around 30% cheaper one week before.
3. Elevators taking you to the gym not working so you need to go out of the hotel and have a porter escorting you.
4. Location was great. The only think positive.
As a summary, I think there are so many better options in the city for this type of money. And unless you don’t want to use your phone while at the hotel please stay away.

All staffs we encountered were very friendly and made us feel welcomed except the check-in/out receptionists. The lobby at the time of check-out was crowded, and there's no clear waiting line for the check-in/check-out desk queue, a receptionist just stood there, and not providing any information or instruction to the guests the queue of the line. Bellmen were much more helpful and provided us the accurate and needed information about the area. The reception staffs need more training. Room is clean but furniture and paint seemed outdated and can use a bit touch-up. Location is convenient.

I was surprised to be allocated a room for a disabled person. When I raised this at the checkout desk, they indicated that Expedia had requested this! I am utterly baffled by this!

We love the location of this hotel, the breakfast was outstanding, and we were allowed to check in early. The only negative I can possibly think of is that the bathroom didn't have enough counter space. Other than that this stay was perfect!

I can't say enough good things about The George. After falling in love with Edinburgh last year, we returned to the city and the hotel who made our stay extra special.
The staff it wonderful and truly make you feel like you're home - whether they wish you a good day or welcome you back after a long day of walking up and down hills. We were greeted with smiles at every turn.
Rooms were spacious and comfortable. We had a lovely room that looked up to the castle. Great showers, great room amenities, and cozy beds.
We plan to return next year!!!
