My friend and I stayed at InterContinental Edinburgh The George, and it was truly wonderful. The hotel is elegant, and the city of Edinburgh is just amazing. A special shout-out to Frank in the lobby—I've stayed in quite a few hotels, and I can honestly say he's one of the best. He takes the time to connect with guests, remembers you, and offers help with genuine kindness. He really made our stay even more memorable.

This is not a family hotel.
It’s noisy , no residents lounge and kids have to sit in a public bar.
Staff dragging furniture around at 6am both mornings of our stay.
Room service was terrible.
You will be kept awake all night with drunks in the street and church bells from the crack of dawn.
Nothing relaxing about this hotel.
No private dining either as it’s all open to the public.
