Pros: Location is AMAZING with views of Edinburgh castle. The staff is very friendly and always organising events for the people staying (great Canada Day outing while we were there!), and the facilities are kept really clean for how many people there are. Each bed comes with an associated locker that everything can be kept in so there's peace of mind. Easy to store luggage before check-in or after check-out as well. The overall vibe is quirky and completely amazing for the Edinburgh setting.

Pros: Location is in the city center, near the castle - I could see it from room's window. Also there was good helpful staff. And the price as for the hostel as for breakfast was cheap :)

Pros: This hostel clearly deserves a very high rating!!! The location is right next to the castle which is already perfect. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is very safe and you have your orange card to get in. Key to lockers are provided and there are bedside outlets, as well with USB! The lockers are not too big though so they won't fit a suitcase but valuables and a bag pack. Even though it is a very big hostel, bathrooms and showers were never too busy and always clean, big S/O for that! The rooms, in contrast to most other hostel, were also VERY big which I really enjoyed. The breakfast for 1.50 is also worth it and it has great common areas and an incredibly well-equipped kitchen. Vibe was good and the daily activities are something to recommend. Probably the place to stay in Edinburgh!

Cons: Towels have to be rented - slight inconvenience for those travelling without (as I was). However, when considering the great price of a bed per night, not that big of a deal. Be prepared to leave £10 each or ID at reception as a deposit for the room keys (given back at the end of stay provided keys are returned).

Overlooking one of Edinburgh’s prettiest private garden squares, Kimpton Charlotte Square consists of seven interconnected Georgian townhouses in the heart of the New Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside, the newly renovated interior blends handsome woods, plush fabrics, and rich pops of color to luxurious effect. A magnetic inner courtyard and an acclaimed Middle Eastern restaurant have cemented the hotel as buzzy hub of modern life in Edinburgh.

There was air leakage at our window which caused cold draughts all night and meant we heard everything going on in the service yard below which disturbed my sleep. The heating/ air system was poor and the room was either too stiff or cold and I had to keep getting up to change the controls. Hotel was very quiet too, why they gave us this room was strange or thoughtless.

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.

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.

6.3 Good
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.

5.5 Okay
Pros: Good area which was within walking distance of many of the main attractions.
Cons: There was no Wi-fi throughout our stay and we had no way of accessing our room. The problem with the Wi-fi meant that room keys could not be issued and we had to wait until a member of staff was available to take us to our room every time we returned to the hotel. The internal phones were not working so we had to go down to reception with any requests.
2.5 Mediocre
Pros:
Cons: This hotel was highly disappointed. I came there for a business trip and did not have any wifi for more than 2 days out of 4 days. Only explanation given was that it was a "free wifi" hence not included in the price so they could not compensate me for anything which is a joke considering the hotel price. I highly do NOT recommend that hotel.

Cons: Breakfast room looked like a bomb site!! Loads of tables never seemed to be cleaned. Room service sandwiches - bread was dry and hot fries looked like they had been thrown on the plate and onto cold sandwiches. Looked like a child had prepared them. Massage was expensive and first time preformed by a young girl who kept saying that she had to use her training methods and didn't seem to want to listen to what I had requested. Her manager though did listen and kindly gave me a much better massage and certainly listened to my requirements.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helped as much as they could with my enquiries
Cons: The rooms were very stuffy and hot. I had to request a fan and only a very small one could be found . Staff helped as best as they could. Paid to buffet breakfast but as i has to leave by 7.30 i was supplied with a take away that consisted of a cold croissant and a yoghurt. It was disappointing, would rather had a refund.

Pros: Location was very good, close to the shopping street and 7 min walking from the old center
Cons: The mattress was very uncomfortable , I could feel the wires. We had to cover it with a thick blanket to make it possible to sleep To my surprise in the last day I saw the cleaning lady cleaning the floor in the lobby toilet with white towels (same type we had in the room) Although it is listed as a 4* hotel there was only liquid soap available in the bathroom, no shampoo, no conditioner no shower gel or anything else. We did had tea and an empty fridge (no minibar)

Cons: The room is unbelievably hot even with fans provided. The oven was not working so we had to change room the second day. They offered to put our food in the oven the first night. In general the room shows a lot of signs of wear and tear. The breakfast is of poor quality, the sausages especially. Not enough tables available and the breakfast is served in the reception area One lift for the amount of rooms in the hotel is not suffisant.

Pros: Young staff were as helpful as they could be but place is badly managed and has no air conditioning!
Cons: Room was as hot as hell, we ended up with 5 ineffective fans and bedroom was so small and stuffy I slept on the sofa. Telephone didn't work, toilet seat needed replacing, no laundry bags or coffee machine. This place does not deserve to be associed with the name Marriott

Pros: Everyone was super friendly, came for my partners birthday the room was beautiful and we had a lovely view out of the windows. Bed was super comfy! Everything was within walking distance (10/15 minutes) but was loads of ubers around so me and my partner used them and was super cheap!
Cons: Couldnt find me on the system and took a good 5/10 minutes to actually get my booking up on the screen, took my reference number which didnt even bring me up on the screen. Was some mould in the shower room but only a little amount! Wasnt much choice for breakfast and found the area in which you had breakfast was a little small and wasnt many tables left when we came down for breakfast.

Pros: The location is great. It is very good value for money for central Edinburgh and having cooking and washing facilities is a bonus. The same applies to the aircon.

Pros: I managed to snag this room for a very good discount. It was wonderful. After staying in hostels and dorm rooms, it was a great upgrade, for not much more in price. I liked that it was on a quieter street, and that there was a small AC unit in the bedroom. I was able to turn it out and drown out a lot of the birds that call at all hours of the night. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, sugar, and milk, as well as pots, pans, and cooking utensils. You don't see that too often and it was a nice addition. I would probably book again if given the chance.

Pros: The hotel is very well located. Walking distance to shops, castle, restaurants and public transportation.
Cons: We were here during August festivals so the price was probably higher than the usual one. However for more than 200 eur paid per night for an apartment, the expectations were higher. The parking of the hotel could not be used due to a defective car lift and we had to search for other options around. The price for one hour parking in this area is 4.65 pounds so we’re lucky to find a ca bit cheaper option on just park.com. We booked the apartment 8 months before and we had a request for a room at a higher floor to have a bit of view. We were allocated a room at the ground floor with view in the back to a small logistic street where the garbage is handled. In this room the fridge could be barely opened due to the fact that was full of ice, the tap at the sink was not fixed and dish washer was not working. We asked for another room and we received next day one at the second floor on the same side. This room was ok. The breakfast consisted in a small bag given at Reception with 2 appples and one muffin per person. The cleaning meant only replacing 2 towels, not even the garbage was removed.

Cons: The tv in the living room was broken for our visit; maintenance fixed it on the second day but it went out again that same night. The "24 hour reception" was usually unstaffed, forcing us to leave our keys on the floor outside the office door to do our pre scheduled early morning checkout.

Cons: My only issue was that there was a leak under the floorboards in the bathroom of my room. When I mentioned it to the staff, they seemed completely unconcerned about it. I was worried they were going to try and blame me for the issue, when it looked and felt like it had been an issue for quite a while. Also while I was there, someone set off the fire alarm, and again, there was no staff on site to reassure us that everything was okay. I went down to the lobby and spoke to the fire department myself.

Cons: 3 attempts before room door keys worked. No envelope for keys. Dispute that bed was “large double bed”. Dishwasher was still going when I checked in after 1500. Couch had cover over bare sofa bed mattress. Blinds did not work. Could not open bedroom blind. Dead plant in room.

Cons: The 4th floor but it was a good exhausting exercise
4.5 Okay
Pros: Location
Cons: The sheets were old and of very low quality. We found hairs under the sheet. The sleeper sofa, is hard and very uncomfortable, no way 2 people can sleep on that thing. The kitchenette has a wine cooler as a fridge, meaning the temp goes not lower than 12 degrees. They sell the "suite" (hahaha) as a place for 4, however you get 2 cups and 2 glasses. One need to take turns when drinking coffee. Lots of dishwashing soap, most probably left by prior guests, but only 1 little bath and shower gel sachet per person.
4.3 Okay
Pros: The Location was perfect
Cons: The room was in disrepair. Half finished towel rail, no regulater on the shower, loose toilet seat, pop up waste had worn thread which you could not use,no small bar fridge for milk, although a kettle was provided the ilk had to be sourced everyday as it was going g off in the heat, electrical wires hanging down from tv. A mouse was spotted the night of our arrival and we set traps. Fortunately it wasn’t seen again but it made for an uncomfortable stay. This was reported to the owners and they got back to say they had baited somewhere but they didn’t say where. Emailed with the other concerns and didn’t get a reply. We are good customers with booking.com and have stayed in many of your places, you should know by our previous reviews that we are not serial complainers. We should have received an apology and/or compensation but everyone prefers to hide behind faceless email addresses and no responsibility is taken by anyone, very disappointed. The reason why this property is popular is because of its location. The standards were awful and someone should be made accountable. You calculate a score of 4.2 I’d say a score of 1 would be more appropriate

4.8 Okay
Pros: If you like being in the middle of the tourist trap it is perfect.
Cons: They are not up front about several things. First there is no one at the place to handle problems. No desk, no phone number. Just email. Second, the only way to get in is by a terrible spiral stone staircase, so it is very hard to get large suitcases up. Third, when I made the reservation they immediately charged me and sent an email that I would be on the fourth floor. I made the reservation months in advance and I asked them to move me to a lower floor. They said they couldn't, but if they could it would cost 10 euros. Very hard to deal with. They also do not provide maid service unless you pay another 17 euros per day! Also no place to leave your luggage because its not a hotel. Finally, I have some serious concerns about the integrity of the apartments. The floors slope and there is serious signs of cracking and sag. At these prices, you are far better booking elsewhere!
5.8 Okay
Pros: Location good
Cons: Sofa bed hard Not as big in room as photos show and pub right behind beware spiral staircase in stone with a rope handle and poor lighting which I found out after booking my mistake just not worth £300 a night in my opinion

Pros: The location is amazing and the authentic charm of the room is excellent. The gift on arrival was also a lovely touch.
Cons: While there is lots of advance notice and information provided with the self check-in service and the instructions are clear, there does need to be a better way to contact the owners in the case of an emergency. Despite following instructions there was an issue in trying to access the room and to be given an automated service with 6 options, all of which lead back to sending an email even in an urgent scenario is not a good service. The lack of response to texts was a similar frustration. Only a little things but the towels could be of much better quality.

Pros: Central and close to Royal Mile
Cons: No air con or fan. Room 418 had one small small window backing onto a small alley with an open plan office as the view. These offices were open at all hours and subsequently the lights were mostly on. We therefore had to keep the drapes closed which worsened the stuffiness and heat in the room. if you leave the small window open then the noise will keep you awake most of the night but the highlight is the glass collection between 5 and 6am. We left with a couple who had actually purchased a fan and an ext lead to try to cool their room down. I appreciate summer can be a difficult time but this room was poor and we got next to no sleep. Other rooms may be better. Pointed out these issues to reception and got a shrug. For the money we paid it really wasn’t good enough I’m afraid. Won’t be going back.

Pros: Good location. Al within walking distance to the Pubs and not too far from the main attractions. Nice view from the kitchen window. Good wi-fi. Ear plugs supplied. Personal Power sockets and lamps. Nice bar
Cons: Shower head which cannot be adjusted are best suited to someone over the height of 6 feet or 2 metres. If below this height, it can be impossible to have a shower without getting your hair wet. Hostel is located within staggering distance from the pubs and clubs, so at night it can be noisy, this was not a problem for me. KA has more than one property, and apparently because the other property's kitchen is not as good as this hostel's kitchen, the kitchen can on some occasions be very overcrowded with guests from the other property. As a consequence there can be no space in the fridges/freezer and all the cookers occupied. The main culprits were the long term Spanish guests from the other property. Even though they did not have key cards to the Hostel and kitchen, their compadres at reception would buzz them through. The fire escape door to Candlemaker Rd. states that the door is alarmed. This is not the case. On a Thursday night at 02:00 a concerned female guest had to bring to the attention of reception that the fire escape door was open, Would I stay there again? Yes!

8.3 Excellent
Pros: Fab location, easy check in & out, pleasant & helpful staff. Easy and secure access to hostel and internal floors. Very comfortable & clean bed.
Cons: Facilities like toilets are in need of refurbishment. Three tiered bunk bed may present access difficulties to some guests although again I have to say that the bed was mega comfortable and spotlessly clean. Limited kitchen and chill out area, limited access in kitchen area to drinking water. Fee for storing luggage after check I for a few hours.
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Friendly staff, the location is brilliant just next to the train station. Beds are comfortable, good value at a very affordable price! I will definitely stay here again next time.
Cons: Upon check out early in the morning, there was no receptionist so I had to leave the key with a note behind the counter and obviously, I didn't get my deposit back. I was told upon arrival that reception was open 24 hours but it was not the case.
5.0 Okay
Pros: The hostel were very situated
Cons: The staff wasn't very nice or polite, i left like i was brother them and not feeling very welcome to the hostel The shower wasn't clean at all, all them were broken, a mini swinging pool for your feets... The room was like a sauna, no ventilation and smells so bad... Amazing... The bed was so hard, difficult to sleep on it
4.5 Okay
Pros: The the location is more as excellent. 10 Min to Castel, many shops and Pubs. 50m walk to Airport Bus 100 (4,50 GBP)
Cons: I've traveled a lot in the world, but that's never happened to me. If you want to sleep in a broom closet, this is your hotel. No closet no shelf possibility no clothes hooks. 3 hooks in the bathroom. You can hardly move A small roof hatch window. Hardly any air coming Motel8 30m on the left 25,-GBP more. That's an outrage for 100,-GBP Please see my photos

7.5 Good
Pros: The location was truly excellent. Just across the road from the station. The staff were nice and helpful.
Cons: There was a long queue to check-in. There was a mixup with the beds so someone took mine. I found it very difficult to climb into the top bunk, as I’m 48 and have a touch of arthritis. They need to take this into account when allocating beds

Pros: The location is central for all the attractions. The view from the lounge and restaurant is excellent across to the castle and gardens. The food in the restaurant is very good. Breakfast is limited to traditional British fare with ham and cheese available on request. The porridge is of course excellent. The beds were comfortable. The cost of parking in th recommended carpark is halved for hotel guests. This gives a huge saving on the £22 per day charge.

Pros: Staff was friendly and was close to everything.
Cons: Parked a 12 min walk away. Room was very small for £165,00 a night. View of a wall and out dated. Just thought a bit pricy for what I got.
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Location excellent with good transport links just outside the hotel Staff helpful and very courteous. Fans in rooms great as very warm during our stay
Cons: No house phone in the lower lobby had to go up to reception to call another guest. House phone at reception not working. Receptionist did assist on his phone. Would of eased his work load if house phone was in working order.

The cost of parking in th recommended carpark is halved for hotel guests. This gives a huge saving on the £22 per day charge.
Cons: The bedroom looked out onto large, grim air con units and metal fire escapes. It wasn't pleasant. There was a constant droning noise from the units all through the day and night. There is a need for an update to the room and bathroom. Both were tired but clean. The nearest car park is a good ten minute walk away and there is nowhere to drop off luggage. This could prove difficult if you have heavy luggage or multiple suitcases.
6.8 Good
Pros: Nice room on 6th floor, centrally located
Cons: Air conditioning would have made it more comfortable on a warm August night.

9.3 Excellent
Pros: The location of the hotel was excellent. The breakfast was enjoyable.
Cons: We stayed in room 577. The room was comfortable but there was noise from the property next door. It sounded like a cooling system. We are heavy sleepers so this didn't pose too much of a problem. Not ideal for others.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: The location was great. The staff friendly and very helpful. The beds were okay. A little on the hard side. For some reason our room was very warm. No explanation for that. Glad there was a fan to use.
Cons: The beds and the temperature in the room.
9.3 Excellent
Pros: Bed was really comfortable location fantastic staff always pleasant. such a pity it is let down by the kitchen and dining room.
Cons: Breakfast was the only thing that was abysmal. First eggs ran out and took ages to be replaced and then bacon ran out so before you got a full breakfast the first elements were cold. To order eggs from the menu was at least a 20 minute wait. Fresh bread wasn't replaced. Just not acceptable and nobody seemed to be in charge or care. Food in the evening was also overpriced and mediocre.
6.3 Good
Pros: The location is really great, and the staff they were very kind, also you can have a great view of the Castle from the hotel restaurant.
Cons: the main issue with the room was the noise coming from the outside, there is no Air Conditioner, the toilet was not working properly, it was no extraction in the bathroom and the mattresses were quite a bit uncomfortable.
