InterContinental Edinburgh The George, an IHG Hotel

Overall the hotel is situated in the heart of Edinburgh and very close to the Castle and the shopping district. The breakfast buffet is excellent and so is the rest of the Food and Beverage service team. The concierge is very friendly and supportive for families. However the hotel lacks some of the basics that a good hotel needs. The hotel provides no parking facilities, the check-in time is 3 PM while check-out is 12 noon. So you actually pay for less than a day, the front office staff are grumpy. The rooms had no refriegrators and no a/c control.

We stayed twice, once booked through our travel agent and once by internet. The internet rooms were larger and had beautiful views, on higher floors, no breakfast. The travel agent rooms were smaller with breakfast. We would definitely stay at this hotel if we ever return to Edinburgh

Welcoming Hotel - lovely architecture. Rooms clean and and tidy

Fine hotel, room decore somewhat bland, nicely equiped bathroom, I appreciated energy saving efforts by inserting door key for lights on in room. It was very expensive, as was all of the UK due to poor exchange rate with the dollar
