The George Hotel: Reviews

Better than the Balmoral

we had a superior Deluxe room with a massive bathroom, marble walk up steps that was magical. set at back of hotel with slight view of Firth of Forth. Service was excellent, get to breakfast not to late and food and buffett wonderful. the deal we got was brilliant. would recommend highly.

Great for: Romance, Nightlife, Beds, Hip/Trendy Scene

awake all night

This is a lovely hotel, newly refurbished BUT has several problems which make it awful! We were put in a room at the front of the hotel. The room itself was smart, however, we were awake from midnight until 4.30 a.m. with the sound of people very noisily leaving the nearby pubs and nightclubs. When we complained to reception they said that 'yes it is a city centre hotel afterall and each weekend the police have to patrol the street and the night porters have to stop drunk young people from trying to enter the hotel'. To add to this problem the room was cold and the breakfast service was very slow. If you go insist on a room at the back of the hotel.

what a view !

the hotel was faultless,although do not accept room 116 as the view from the windows were large metal chimneys from the kitchen which blocked both of the room windows and also made a constant noise,horrendous!

Stately and Historical

An unusual Intercontinental property. The public spaces are old but very stately. The restaruant was once an Edinburg bank. The rooms have not been remodeled in some time and the wear is evident. We were there in June and while it wasn't hot, the rooms were stuffy but a fan was made available. Our room offered a great view of the sea and the sunsets were spectacular! Breakfast was included in our package and was well worth the extra cost. The front desk personnel was very responsive and informative. The rooms need an update but the location is great. We would have no problem making a return visit.
