Busy and dis-interested staff, noisy and draughty reception, small room with a view of a rather ugly fire escape and air conditioning duct. Over-priced and very average. Will not be back.

Really enjoyed our overnight stay, with 1 exception. If you booked breakfast the night before it cost £ 10, if you decided in the morning that you wanted Breakfast it cost £ 16 absolutely ridiculous. Regards Rosalinda Simpson

Great central location for shopping and site seeing.
We were very disappointed with the quality of the food in the hotel, in particular breakfast. We were served with luke warm tea and cold toast. Museli had ran out the second morning and my husband was unable to even get a cooked breakfast. Poor!!

on Arrival at Midnight after a delayed flight from LGI you advised us that you had overbooked the hotel and transferred us to the Roxburgh As you can imagine this was very disappointing and increased our fatigue from an all ready troubled travel .

Scottish dress of some staff, and general friendliness of staff.
Only reason for a 3 on comfort was that the bed was two beds and so big that to be close to my wife I often slept over the two beds joining. A smaller double bed would had been fine, there was so much bed!

Lovely hotel with helpful staff
I ordered room service and the burger was simply a burger - no relish, no salad,at that price? I ordered a Rioja wine and a Merlot was delivered, and I ordered a Jacket Potato (he said he would try and do this) and it came with chips, no explanation

Breakfast was very convenient. Room service was quick. Front desk staff was very helpful. Dining staff was helpful too, except sometimes language was an issue with the Polish staff members. I have more comments, but not enough space...
You need to have wifi in all the rooms! I was in town for business and it was a real inconvenience not to have wifi. Also, it would be better if you had a mini fridge in the cabinet, to store snacks and drinks. A vending machine in the bldg. too!

An excellent place to stay for a three day Edinburgh culture splurge! Staff very polite and helpful in spite of being full stretched with a full hotel.
hotel 100% full creates a wait for breakfast. Staff cope with this very well, but systems perhaps need to be reviewed

Chocolates in room were good.

The room was far too cold. We had the radiator full on but it wasn't enough to heat the room. My fiancee didn't even take a shower because she would have been too cold when she came out. I was too tall for the shower too.

We use the hotel regularly for 1/2 night breaks - absolutely ideal.
Perhaps a better/ more extensive range of toiletries in bathroom - a minor criticism.

we had a problem with the lighting in our first room but were promptly offered another room which was of an excellent standard
we did have one meal in the Tempus restaurant, I had a prawn & mushroom pasta. If the menu had said "with cream" I wouldn't have ordered it. It would be normal to say "with cream". It was taken off the bill without quibble, I declined an alternative

Great to see the George back to where it was some years ago when it was very much one of the fiiner hotels in town. Very handy for city centre shops etc.
Clearly stretched on the Sunday morning when we had to wait for a table at breakfast (5 mins so not drastic and the food was still very good).
