InterContinental Hotels - Edinburgh the George, an IHG Hotel

New Town Edinburgh|0.18km from Assembly Rooms
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.

Kimpton - Charlotte Square, an IHG Hotel

New Town Edinburgh|0.5km from Assembly Rooms
The hotel is fab the staff are great and cannot do more for you , lovely touches provided by guest relations concierge & reception staff are so lovely , catering & bar staff great , the room was lovely , great shower and local produce in rooms such as the coffee etc , social hour is a nice touch and breakfast was great , i would stay here again we had a lovely stay ... however the spa lets it down This was a special birthday suprise for my other half i booked the spa for treatments for us . We were late on arrival due to rail strikes and i missed my spa appointment which is fine i expect that if you are not on time. My partner was still able to recieve his treatment however we were provided with no towels robes or slippers , no info regarding lockers . The massuise gave my partner a robe and was suprised one was not already provided for him after he had to walk around after getting changed into swimwear .The water machine in the ladies changing room did not work the only water available was from a tap in the toilet not ideal as the next water machine was in the lobby opposite the gym , especially not ideal if u have no robe or slippers or towel to go out to it . So if you are are a lady there is no drinking water available , very undignified !! I was not shown to the relaxation room and couldnt go in even if i wanted to as i had no towel or robe . My partner told me the mens changing room stank of urine from a pipe . The staff were not very helpfull or attentive and the service at the spa does not reflect the service or same level of standard as the rest of the hotel . I have had better service at a local lesuire centre and would not use this ”spa” again . My partner and I often use spas and this was by far the worst spa expeirience dissapointing as it was his birthday. I could maybe understand if it was busy but it wasnt .

Hanover 71 Suites
4.1/542 Reviews
New Town
I booked a junior suite with garden view & patio. I got a dirty, musty and smelly small basement room next to the kitchen with a view on a wall & noisy frying exhaust (from full haggis Scottish breakfast to fish & chips all day). This isn’t a suite or an apartment. It’s overpriced accommodation (over £200/night) and a scam. I expressed my distress a couple of times. Nobody cared. Noise from the street was intense at night. I will never go back and do not recommend this place. I cannot comment on rooms on upper floors, but avoid the room Nb 1 at all costs! There is no reception, this isn’t a hotel in any way shape or form. They care for the little cafe on the ground floor and just make money from the rooms. I’d prepaid so I had to stay. On the plus side the location is very central and the sheets/towels were clean. The rest of the room and especially bathroom was filthy and unmaintained. The photos will speak for themselves. Too bad you can’t smell through the photos or hear the exhaust or street noise.

Braid Apartments by Mansley
4.7/5114 Reviews
New Town
Having previously stayed with my family in No 1 The Mansion Apartments in London I had booked a stay for my son in 2020 in London at that outstanding property. This was a nonrefundable booking made directly with them. Due to border closures he was unable to travel and I was told my money was in credit. I contacted them earlier this year as he was travelling to Scotland during a university break. I couldn't have been happier with the service I received. All the money I had paid 3 years ago was sitting in credit. I was able to use these credits to book both stays in the Highland Apartments in Inverness and the Braid Apartments in Edinburgh on the dates he wanted to travel. He said both apartments were excellent. Due to such outstanding customer service I will definitely book one of their properties again when we are next in the United Kingdom and will do so directly with them due to the ease of resolving such an unseen complication.
Code Co-Living – the Loft - Edinburgh
4/547 Reviews
New Town
Airlink was just a two-minute walk from Princes Street, but the road in front of the door was not particularly friendly to the wheels of the luggage. The hostel itself is great, all the staff are very friendly, and the accommodation and bathroom are very clean and tidy. Don't worry if you arrive before checkin, you can temporarily store your luggage. The location of the hostel is also great and it is very convenient to go everywhere. If you need it next time, you will definitely choose here
Destiny Scotland New Town Apartments
4.7/551 Reviews
New Town
From outside, the impression is it great. However, once you get inside, you appreciate the high quality of this apartment. Immaculately clean and well presented. All kitchen equipment you could want. Extremely warm. Without heating, the temperature was 22 degrees per the Nest controls. However, the wide opening windows mean you can cool the room easily, eg bedroom. Bed was extremely comfy. The bathroom has a bath but is effectively a large shower tray as there are no taps. Overall a really great base to stay with restaurants nearby, with great bars. TIP . The Educated Flea restaurant was just amazing but you must book We would definitely use this again
Hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh City Centre, Rose Street
4.1/541 Reviews
New Town
The hotel itself is in a great location, but the room I was assigned (401) has a loud, non-stop buzzing sounds like a very loud old industrial fridge. It could be the air conditioning system but is was still going with the AC unit off. Also, there was a constant water noise from time to time and a high-pitched sound. It was the only available room for 1 person so I had to stay there. I didn't have a restful night. Also, there is no receptionist. It is a self-serving hotel. You can call someone but they don't show up right away. If not for the noise, it would be an okay cost/value option, but giving 3 starts instead of 0 due to prime location.
