"A traditional yet modern hotel in the heart of New Town. The buildings that house this hotel on posh George Street were first erected in the 1780s...before becoming the exclusive George Hotel in 1950."

7.0
"There is nothing subtle about this recently-refurbished hotel, which has cleverly reinvented itself as fun-central — shrinking violets need not apply."

"The ideal choice for party animals. It’s fun and funky, albeit compact and snug, and right in the midst of the raucous stag and hen do-packed pubs of the Grassmarket. "
