From the very moment we arrived. A very friendly doorman who greeted us with a smile and was very welcoming. Front staff were very quick and efficient, organised our room very early which we were very grateful for. Breakfast was fantastic and great options. Cleanliness of the room was superb also. Very good experience and would very much recommend to anyone who wants to experience Edinburgh.

We loved our stay at The George Hotel in Edinburgh. We were able to walk to the train, to Old Town, and to shopping/dining in New Town. Breakfasts were excellent. Staff were warm and gracious. Comfortable bed, thoughtful amenities and BBC Scotland on the radio. Lovely holiday decorations as well. Highly recommended.

At check in I was upsold a view to the river which was essentially a standard room with a view that was far from spectacular. All rooms have windows and I cannot imagine how the view I got was better than that of my same si de standard room. My take is that they just wanted to upsell me to increase my all in rate without delivering anything valuable in return. I am not against the concept but if you upsell you should offer something that improves the experience. This time it did not.

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 Room is clean but furniture and paint seemed outdated and can use a bit touch-up.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.
