Absolutely a fantastic place to stay!!! My wife and I just recently stayed there and loved the entire experience. I found the entire staff ranging from the doormen, concierges, valet’s, the front desk staff, to the restaurant staff being nothing short of excellent. This was our first time in Edinburgh and loved the place. The service that was provided by the staff at the InterContinental Edinburgh-The George played a vital part in our having such a fantastic time. I highly recommend staying here and we are already making plans to return….

“Luxurious hotel that lives up to expectations”

Lovely location and great facilities . Comfortable rooms and friendly helpful staff. We stayed for one night for a short overnight stay for a special birthday . Our room was great with plenty of room and lovely decor . We had breakfast which was good with plenty of choice and good service .

“Please keep The George’s “ Scottishness” !!”

The George, as we still like to call it, is a very comfortable hotel in a great location in Edinburgh. We have stayed at this hotel on several occasions over the last ten years and on our first visit we were greeted and assisted at the front door by doormen in traditional dress and this “Scottishness”continued throughout our stay, even down to the lovely tartan carpet in our room. This Scottish welcome encouraged us to return. On subsequent visits, however, we have noticed this diminishing bit by bit and on our last visit it was disappointing to witness the TV screen opening up in French, all product in the bathroom was French branded and we ate in “Le petit beef restaurant”. Are we in Edinburgh? asked my wife, or Paris. Please don’t reduce a great Scottish venue into a luxury, but bland hotel one can find anywhere in the world.

“Super Location but a few issues”

Short walk from the train station and a very warm welcome greeted us on arrival. We did arrive early morning, so the room wasn’t ready, which we expected, but no issue; we left our bags and headed out.

Short walk from the train station and a very warm welcome greeted us on arrival. We did arrive early morning, so the room wasn’t ready, which we expected, but no issue; we left our bags and headed out. On return, we had been upgraded; the room was pleasant and immaculately clean; however, we did find later on that it was very noisy from the partygoers on the street outside until at least three in the morning. Of course, this is no fault of the hotel, and I would guess it is only really an issue at this time of year but something to be aware of. The club lounge was a comfortable place to relax. The staff went out of their way to be pleasant, but we found the food offerings a bit poor in comparison to other club lounges in the group. If you are vegetarian, then the restaurant menu is really disappointing, though I must mention my husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak. Breakfast in the club lounge was very good, but the service of hot food was slow. In short, would we stay again? Yes, Is there better in Edinburgh? Probably.
