Lock in a great price for The Principal Edinburgh George Street - rated 9 by recent guests.

to get started.

my room was not insulated, lots of noise coming from upstairs floor. Staff at reception, I felt they were not warm at all, abrupt on occasion.

Eddy, United Kingdom

Perfect location in one of Edinburgh's finest streets.- short stroll to Waverley Station - even shorter stroll to some iconic bars!

Michael, United Kingdom

Chris, United Kingdom

We stayed here two years ago and had a great stay. Our latest visit (we brought our two elderly mothers with us this time) was equally as good. The USP for us is the fantastic service and friendliness you receive throughout your stay. It really makes your stay.

Linda, United Kingdom

The staff were very friendly and attentive.The bed was extremely comfortable.

Helen, United Kingdom

fantastic hotel, all round excellent.. albeit a little pricey, but i did notice edinburgh to be expensive on the whole.

Sean, Ireland

We ordered breakfast in room on the two mornings and was very good apart from only one set off cutlery on the first morning but only a little gripe nothing major. Room great and location in Edinburgh was superb.

눉The rooms were small for the price and the restaurant food wasn't very good. Our steaks were over cooked and tasted strange. Also, cost £30 a night for dogs which I find a lot seen as the dog costs the hotel no extra money. They do not provide anything extra for the dog aside from a cushion on the floor and a bowl. I would understand a deposit in case the dog made a mess of the room but an actual fee just seems like a bit of a money spinner. I would say overall that the price/value for money was the let down here.
눇The rooms were spotless and the staff were absolutely lovely.
