Edinburgh hotels near Edinburgh Waverley Station

Pros: Front desk staff and concierge were very helpful and accommodating.

Pros: Location

Cons: Price and could not check in until late

Pros: Location, early check in, fab breakfast, good drinks and dinner....

Cons: Can't think of anything

Pros: Great location and an excellent facility with wonderful amenities.

Cons: A larger seating area in the lobby area or j back. But really no complaints.

Pros: The location was superb, right on the Royal Mile. The car park,(attached to the hotel), was full upon arrival, however I was allowed to park in a reserved spot, and move my car later when a space became available.

Cons: The breakfast got cold very quickly, possibly due to the air conditioning in the breakfast room.

Pros: Very nice and simply excellent. Perfect location and very helpful and smiling personnel.

Pros: The water pressure in the shower was amazing. The bed was super comfy

Cons: Nil

Pros: Spacious suite living room, separate half guest bath, Decent breakfast with separate order menu, gym had free weights to 30kg, location is on royal mile down road from castle (but for Christmas markets and shopping, a princess street hotel would been better), overall friendly staff.

Cons: 1. For a royal mile suite, main bathroom was standard. Overly spacious living room really could’ve spared space for a more comfortable bathroom befitting suite. 2. Website advertised kids eat free. However, when we ordered meals for the kids via room service, we were told it’s not free. Extremely deceptive and off putting of brand. 3. I emailed the hotel 1 week in advance of 4-day stay and asked for milk, orange juice, and water in room stocked and included room mini fridge. Email from customer service acknowledged request and even confirmed we still wanted wine and beer - a nice catch! However, when we arrived, we were informed juice and milk not included. False service promise should’ve not been made. Room service food was Not worth price (pizza, burger, and kids chicken meal were only ok but far more expensive than eaterery options all around).

Pros: The breakfast not great ,potato scones were always dry and hard the eggs over cooked fried or scrambled. poorly grilled tomatoes and mushrooms boiled. cant speak regarding meat products as I do not eat meat. I understand its buffet and volume cooking but more attention to freshness by less quantity being prepared and refreshed more regular would eliminate some problems. Would have preferred pancakes pre made, the machine was very slow when working and did not produce great quality pancakes. Service was quick and good staff were very pleasant and efficient.

Cons: The breakfast could be better.

Pros: Situation of the hotel is really excellent - rooms were great and very clean.

Cons: Receptionist slight touch of snobby - entrance from parking looks a bit shaby.

Pros: So central for the fringe -even shows in the hotel. Very comfortable. Helpful staff.

Cons: The bar closed early

Pros: Very large room, nice quiet location at rear of hotel. Breakfast was of a high standard, service excellent, second day even packed me a breakfast pack to take on my tour. Location was very good, close to everything, walking distance to station, right on the Royal mile.

Cons: Nothing, everything was catered to a very high standard.

Pros: Location.

Cons: Room temp too warm. Breakfast too expensive.

Pros: Staff

Cons: A bit difficult to find your way around the facility the first time.

Pros: Spent the first 2 nights of my married life in the hotel. Great place. Glad we stayed.

Pros: We arrived early on Saturday around 8:30 am. We knew we were way too early for check in but they said they could probably get us in before 12:00. As we finished breakfast next door they rang the room was ready. We were escorted to our room and the bags had been delivered. Very happy with the friendly and personal service.

Cons: It all went downhill from there. The shower had little pressure and the shower head broke trying to adjust it. We then noticed pieces of broken glass around the bathroom floor. These were clearly visible and hard to miss. Luckily we didn’t step on them. We asked for the shower head to be fixed and the glass cleaned up. The shower head was fixed when we returned but we had to call again for the glass. I absolutely hate when there is no socket in the bathroom. The only plugs were no where near a mirror which makes blow drying your hair quite fun. It would be good if someone who designed the rooms actually had to use it. A vanity mirror for makeup and hair on the desk would solve this issue. Breakfast, hum. At first I thought this would be positive as our first breakfast was great. The second one not so much. First the waitress forgot to put in our order. When we had to ask for it and it finally showed up the egg was undercooked (and I like them runny) and you needed a saw to cut through the toast. When we checked out they wanted to charge us for breakfast and we had to tell them they were pre-paid. If you provide Nespresso capsules they should be refilled.

Cons: Thought there would have been a pool and spa

Pros: The staff were 1st class but the rooms difficult to access as we had to go u to the 3rd floor to access a 1st floor room. Too many stairs and at least 2 of my friends could not have managed. Overall the rooms were very good , the staff excellent but the layout very poor.

Pros: Awesome property with very kind and understanding staff

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location is very central to many Edinburgh sites. The rooms are large and clean. The hotel is a former mansion so it is very elegant. The staff is excellent.

Cons: I

Pros: No breakfast room service, WiFi exceedingly slow or non existent, drapery valences just left in hallway for our 4 day stay, often with maid’s trolley nearby, bathroom too small to put our toiletries in, toilet ran so we called for repairs, but in 3 days, no one responded. Most difficult was that our room in a grand hotel was actually an attic , reached by only one elevator shared by linen and cleaning staff at times. We were charged about $500 a night for this room in the old building, not what we expected. Intercontinental has some work to do! Staff were all lovely and helpful.

Cons: See above!!! We asked to move and pay for upgrade if necessary, but we were told nothing was available. Groups stayed here. I made reservation in the spring. Maybe we were displaced by members of a group tour?

Pros: The whole hotel experience at the George Hotel was completely faultless. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The rooms were spotless, warm and very comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious. The flight was cancelled on our return and had to stay at the George Hotel an extra night, the staff welcomed us back with mulled wine! Excellent stay, thank you.

Pros: very enjoyable stay in a superb hotel, excellent meals, very helpful staff, nothing too much trouble to make our stay memorable

Pros: almost everything

Cons: the cooked breakfast wasn't hot enough

Pros: From the minute I walked into the hotel I felt very welcomed. The staff were attentive and perfectly freindly and professional. I travel alot internationally and truthfully feel that this was one of the best hotel experiences I've had in my life. Being that I do travel alot, it means the world when you can sleep peacefully in extreme comfort. From arrival to departure the George was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it and will return there when in Edinburgh. A gentleman named " Willy" was a gem, very helpful. Thank You.

Pros: Excellent location and nicely designed building. Spacious and confortable room with a nice kitchen. The staff are very nice, professional and helpful.

Cons: Bathroom floor was greasy and slippy, with footprints still in it from previous guests

Pros: Good location close to centre but nice and quiet.

Pros: Quiet, facilities in room

Cons: I had not realised that the room was for do-it-yourself travellers. I thought it was a regular hotel. Bit of a waste of a lot of money for one night. Maybe my fault but I feel that it should have been clearers and I paid a lot for one night. Won’t go back.

Pros: On the Royal mile

Cons: No oven

Pros: Location was terrific, on the Royal Mile , close to landmarks with lots of places to eat to suit most tastes. Room was clean and very adequate for our needs.

Cons: Breakfast was expensive for what it was so did not use.

Pros: A lot of quality

Cons: Expected bigger room for the price.

Pros: Location

Pros: Location was excellent as was the breakfast - a wide selection to suit everyone.

Cons: Everything was fine but was a little expensive.

Pros: Hotel is in a great location, the staff is great and the property is very well maintained. And the jars of candy at the reception area were a nice daily bonus! Our room had a great view of the city. The bar is fun on weekends.

Pros: It was clean and staff were lovely

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Rooms were lovely and beds very comfy. Bathroom very modern and shower was amazing.

Cons: Requested an iron in the room prior to arrival but it wasn't there. The heating came on at 6am and was very noisy. This woke my partner and I up and we couldn't get back to sleep with the noise. The tea/coffee machine in the room did not work. Left my straighteners behind in the room but when I contacted the hotel to enquire about this they said they checked and they were not there. That is a mystery to me.

Pros: Excellent central location, 10 minutes from the train station. Modern well appointed room with good air conditioning. Midday checkout was helpful.

Pros: Staff were very helpful, delivered coffee to room when we said the machine had stopped working.

Cons: Coffee machine didn't work in the room.
