Conclusion - Staying at a hotel on George Street, Edinburgh trendiest street

Most of the hotels on or around George Street are 4-star luxury hotels so a night there will not come cheap. If your budget does not stretch to these, you may have to consider a less expensive hotel or guest house a few minutes' walk away. This article only covers those hotels actually on or extremely close to George Street. Edinburgh, however, is a compact city and the hotels in and around Princes Street are only a 5-minute walk away, so if you do not find your hotel of choice here, there are still plenty to choose from.

Note that George Street can get very noisy at night - perfect if you intend to be partying until the small hours but not if you are looking for a good night's sleep. If noise is a concern, you should check this directly with the hotel before booking.
