Staff bordered on rude and condescending. The hotel room was bland, furniture was well worn. This hotel is very poor value for money at over £600/night.

It was a super location. Staff amazing. Rooms small. Bathrooms beyond small. If it was not for the staff I would not consider again.

This was a two part stay because we liked the hotel and location so much we canceled a reservation and booked another room here. I visited a lot of hotels in Edinburgh and stayed at one other. The Intercontinental is an excellent choice if staying in one hotel in Edinburgh. Recommend a higher floor (6 or 7) in the newer part because you will get some sort of view over the city, but it's not essential.

We had two different rooms on the 6th floor because we like the hotel and the area so much we canceled our move to a different hotel. Excellent friendly staff, well maintained comfortable rooms, wonderful breakfast buffet and menu choices, great bar and restaurant. Typical good service from an IHG Intercontinental hotel. George Street is wonderful we walked everywhere and the tram is nearby for Leith, the airport and points between. Fantastic food and shopping all around this area. We had a deluxe king room with city view, sizeable with a sitting area, wide view out to the Firth of Forth. Then a premium king room and although no view advertised, still a nice look over the city and to one side a view of Edinburgh Castle. You'll be well cared for and comfortable at the Intercontinental the George.
