Great hotel, wonderful location

"Great hotel. Everything was clean and in excellent condition. The staff was super friendly and the complementary mini bar was unexpected, but a nice touch. Being across the street from Waverley Station, it is not noisy at all. The location is super convenient if you take the train coming to/from London. My only complaint is the bed was a little small. It’s advertised as a king, but in reality, it’s more of a queen/full size. "

"This was the perfect stay! We added a nights stay in transit and they easily combined our two reservations. We had a spacious quiet room on the main floor, that was super clean and comfortable. Perfect location, in the heart of everything. Would definitely book again!"

InterContinental Edinburgh The George, an IHG Hotel

5/5 Excellent

Outstanding hotel - excellent staff and location!

"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!!!"
