Perfect stay with only (very) minor flaws
Perfect stay from check-in to check-out and certainly helped by a better standard of room than our last stay (previous one was small, lacked any element of being special).
Reception staff helpful, friendly and welcoming, as were the dining staff.
Room and bathroom very clean and comfortable.
Points to mention for hotel awareness are 1) breakfast, although really good variety, could be warmer and 2) bed pillows full of air rather than fullness.
Other than that this was a really enjoyable stay and we hope to repeat again in the future.

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.
