I loved how comfy the bed was, and it was huge! The staff were wonderful! The room was amazing! The location was great! The room was spotless! The linen was lovely! We loved the special little touches like "The George Bear" left on our pillow when the room was turned down in the evening! I highly recommend it, and I'll definitely be staying again!

Great location, friendly, helpful staff. Tushar at check-in was very helpful and provided great information on where to stop when we left Christchurch to start our road trip. Our room was in the Residence and everything was clean and comfortable, though a little small. The remote controlled lights and shades were fun. Large, bright bathroom. Did not eat at the restaurant but room service was quick and the food was good. Got a great price on Booking.com, so I feel the value was good. Otherwise it would have been a very expensive place to stay and I am sure there are other equally nice hotels nearby that would be more affordable.

“Absolutely not worth the money”

- • Family with young children

We had to wait half an hour for a waiter to come take our order for dinner, after which, it took another 30-45 mins for the food to come. The breakfast was appalling too - the selection was so basic, it’s almost a disgrace to be called a Small Luxury Hotel. The room promised a “garden view” but all you could see were a couple of trees in their garden and the windows of the neighboring homes. You’ll definitely be better off spending your money elsewhere. Avoid.
The location is great

Mattress was too bouncy & unsupportive for me. 3 repeated request to switch bedside reading lamp from daylight white to yellow before it was actually done. There was no vacancy at the pescatore Restaurent for us throughout our stay. Very strange that a hotel Restaurent does not accommodate its own guests.

Breakfast being included is always nice, we ventured out for breakfast instead. With dietaries, it's not worth the cost of a full breakfast when you can't eat it!
We enjoyed all of the nice thoughtful touches at The George, from the teddy bear to the concierge to the choice of lavender-scented pillows. The room was a good size and the balcony looked out to the daffodils at the park. Parking was also very easy, right outside the front door.
