InterContinental Hotels - Edinburgh the George, an IHG Hotel

New Town Edinburgh|0.86km from Greyfriars Bobby's grave
This was our second time at this hotel and we stayed for almost a week. You can't beat the location on George Street, right downtown, close to shops and restaurants. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms and bathrooms are very nice. The king bed had a good mattress and pillows. There is a safe. They seem to have made upgrades since our last pre-covid stay, including air-conditioning in (all?) rooms. As you would expect in a big city, the rooms are quite small and the hotel is not exactly quiet; also depending on where your room faces. We were right by the elevator, which I generally don't like. I wonder if it's because we booked through our credit card and not direct. It seems there is sometimes a ”penalty'. The rooms are supplied daily with water, delicious cookies and snacks. You can make individual cups of drip coffee in a filter, which is much better than instant coffee but not as good as a Nespresso, IMHO. We had breakfast included and the Printing Press is just wonderful, for breakfast, any meal and later evening cocktails and whiskey. The Burr & Co is a coffee shop, also right next door, with tables outside. Love that place. The hotel has great service. We lost a suitcase and got daily support in checking on the status and changing the address on the delivery. There seemed to be a shortage on hair conditioner and we didn't have a sign for do-not-disturb the first day and got woken at 8 AM, but that didn't spoil our enjoyment of the hotel stay. We expect to be back.

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel
4.3/5122 Reviews
Edinburgh Old Town
Hotel was well located and very clean inside. Rooms made up daily. Breakfast was ok. Odd smell in bathroom - think the drains are not right. Main issues - bathroom extractor fan continuously on -annoying. The doors to other rooms slam noisily and some awful motor/generator out back of hotel also causing constant noise. Hot rooms; window only opens a crack. Overpriced for what is essentially a marginally polished premier inn.
Residence Inn by Marriott Edinburgh
4.5/566 Reviews
We loved this hotel. Amazing value for money, if this hotel was in london it would be £200+ a night I think. The location is great, the city center is within 10 mins walking distance but it’s just far enough out to get a peaceful nights sleep. The breakfast is OK, does the job really, nothing to write home about. Will defiantly stay here again and recommend to friends

The hotel is clean, tidy and convenient. We have no breakfast, beautiful scenery, very close to the business district, shopping is very convenient.
Code Pod – the Court - Edinburgh
4.6/595 Reviews
Edinburgh Old Town
I've never stayed in a hostel before, let alone in a former jail revamped as one ! Besides the gimmick, the Court is a wonderful place to stay if you are visiting Edinburgh, whether on a budget or not : fantastic location near the St Giles cathedral (where city tours seemingly start from), super friendly staff and surprisingly clean amenities (first time experience in a hostel so I didn't know what to expect quite frankly). Would definitely recommend !
Grassmarket Hotel

Edinburgh Old Town
The hotel has no breakfast, the service is very warm, the family room, did not book a night, went to the front desk and said directly to us. I left the checked baggage in the middle and returned to the room directly when I came back.
No1 Apartments Edinburgh - George IV Bridge
4.5/537 Reviews
Edinburgh Old Town
This is a lovely self-catering apartment. We were in Apartment No.1 (on the second floor) for 3 nights, and the location was excellent. About 10 minutes from the Princes Street tram station, and right off the Royal Mile, directly next to the Elephant House of Harry Potter fame. The kitchen was fully equipped, including an all-in-one washer/dryer. Since we had booked direct, there was a also a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us in the fridge. The bedroom was a little small but very comfortable. Shampoo and body wash is provided, but not hair conditioner, fyi -- though the shampoo was so great that ended up not being an issue! The late night street noise was a bit much, so best to bring earplugs. There is free luggage storage on the 3rd floor available the day you check in and out, which will be accessible with the keycode they send you prior to check-in. Do be aware there are plenty of stairs and no elevator, but that wasn't an issue for us. Management was very responsive to any questions. Also you can pay a little more for an early check-in, totally worth it if you have a flight that arrives in the morning.
