Hotels near golf course in New Town

"The staff were exceptionally helpful; we had arrived early that morning, and they were extremely accommodating in holding our luggage, getting the room ready ahead of time, and making us comfortable in the interim. The room itself was very comfortable; I found the decor and lighting fixtures unconventional, but not unpleasantly so. Additionally, they offered complimentary wifi for guests, which had been unheard of in our travels in the UK up to that point (and this was 5 hotels into our trip). I can provide only two slight negatives. The first is not actually the hotel's fault; the street in front of the hotel is currently undergoing major construction and is therefore closed...so getting to the hotel involves a bit of a walk from the nearest taxi drop point (which is around the corner, around half a block or so). This is not a slight against them; however, if you're in a wheelchair, it could represent a problem. Which brings me to the second (related) item: the rooms are accessible solely via staircase, which could prove prohibitive to those with physical handicaps. Overall, we had a great experience here, and I would strongly recommend this hotel."

"The George hotel delivered on so many fronts! - Great location in the heart of new town but very managable (and enjoyable) walk to old town; we walked everywhere except the Britania yacht. It is also great for access to amazing restaurants and cafes - newly renovated room and bathroom a definite plus - very helpful staff with most of them being very friendly as well. A couple of watchouts for you to consider. None of them were deal breakers for us 1. Rooms in the old building have no AC. We did not mind as it was not needed at night and we were out most of the day but the one day when we went back to the hotel at 3 pm, we could not stay in the room. If you are traveling during a warm season, ask for an airconditioned room. 2. Some of our towels were frayed and one even had a hole. Very clean but lierally showing wear and tare. Would definitely expect more from such a facility. If we are ever in Edinburgh again, would definitely stay there. "

"I would definitely consider this on a return trip to Edinburgh. Lovely location for seeing comedy during the Festival as these had a cluster around St Andrew's square. Easy to pop back inside to wait out a rain shower or drop off shopping. So much to see and do in New Town. Easy walking access to the Royal Mile and Old Town sights. Don't forget to wake up early one day to walk up Arthur's Seat for some exercise and great views of the city. You can then stop in to see Holyrood Palace on your way back. The hotel itself is advertised. Clean, friendly & efficient staff, modernist interior. Breakfast was nice. Good to have the bar downstairs & good food service available 24/7. "
