What guests think
Across reviews, The George Hotel stands out for very friendly, helpful staff, clean refurbished rooms, and a lively bar, while common caveats include central road noise, limited on‑site parking, steep stairs with no lift, and occasional niggles.
Its town‑centre setting is convenient for walking to shops and the station. Rooms are generally comfortable and sometimes spacious, with some reports of firm pillows or beds, occasional cold or small rooms, mixed Wi‑Fi, and missing amenities like a fridge or desk. Breakfast is frequently praised for quality and size, though the continental selection can be limited and service has occasionally faltered. Expect a characterful, busy inn with strong hospitality and some practical trade‑offs.

Facilities
The on‑site bar and restaurant are well liked and can be lively. Parking is available but limited or tight, and the historic building has no lift with steep stairs that may challenge some guests.

Where to start? Very friendly welcome from lovely lady. Room really clean but very small and stuffy (window opens a few inches but road noise awful). No WIFI which we asked about and were told it was being 'upgraded' and connection was 'fragile' so 'keep trying'. We tried for a couple of hours as we needed it due to there also being no phone signal. It didn't connect. Breakfast was a shambles. Choose from continental OR cooked but continental was missing advertised cheese and cooked meats. I asked if what was on the small table was the entire continental and was told 'yes, it's all there'. So I asked, if I choose a cooked breakfast, can I have a croissant, given that the continental had so little on it. Answer 'no, it's one or the other'. Hospitality at it's finest 🙄 Two types of croissant on offer. Burnt ones which appeared to be reheated from previous day and others which were lovely. They were the only 'bread' option on offer. Otherwise, cereal, juices, yogurts and apples so the poorest continental I have ever seen. Overall, this is a very overpriced hotel with little in the way of actual hospitality.

The staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful. Our room and bathroom were very clean . Food served was great and atmosphere friendly. Our only issue was that the hotel is on a busy road and as the building is old it has sash windows with single glazing so road traffic noise was a problem to start with but that is something that cannot be helped.

When booking through Expedia i put in bank details which confirmed the booking. I was booking for staff members and on arrival they were told they needed to pay. Expedia doesn't make this clear that even though you give bank details payment is not taken at the time and you will need to pay at the hotel. Very frustrating when booking on behalf of others.

The evening meal we had was excellent and the service was great. All in all a great stay and will go again if in the area.

The hotel sits in a traffic island surrounded by narrow, busy roads on all sides which makes it tricky to access at times. I expected it to be noisy as it is a pub as well as a hotel but it was OK. There was a lot of seagull noise - they do not seem to sleep at night. Overall, it was a fairly good experience.

Where to start? Very friendly welcome from lovely lady. Room really clean but very small and stuffy (window opens a few inches but road noise awful). No WIFI which we asked about and were told it was being 'upgraded' and connection was 'fragile' so 'keep trying'. We tried for a couple of hours as we needed it due to there also being no phone signal. It didn't connect. Breakfast was a shambles. Choose from continental OR cooked but continental was missing advertised cheese and cooked meats. I asked if what was on the small table was the entire continental and was told 'yes, it's all there'. So I asked, if I choose a cooked breakfast, can I have a croissant, given that the continental had so little on it. Answer 'no, it's one or the other'. Hospitality at it's finest 🙄 Two types of croissant on offer. Burnt ones which appeared to be reheated from previous day and others which were lovely. They were the only 'bread' option on offer. Otherwise, cereal, juices, yogurts and apples so the poorest continental I have ever seen. Overall, this is a very overpriced hotel with little in the way of actual hospitality.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our stay was from Boxing Day and a few food items had run out but generally the breakfasts and the one evening meal we had were very good. A very narrow space to get pasr the bed end to the bathroom in our bedroom (104). Generally a very pleasant stay in a good location in the town and handy for nearby coastal towns. Nice to have oat milk available for breakfast.

Car parking was good when we arrived with parking for about 8 cars. The hotel was very clean and decorated brilliantly for halloween. Check in went very smoothly and the room we were allocated was excellent and spotlessly clean. Facilities were good with tea, coffee and biscuits, more than most other hotels. The evening meal we had was excellent and the service was great. All in all a great stay and will go again if in the area.

The hotel had a grand and atmospheric dining room, and the staff, both at breakfast and checking in/out were most welcoming and friendly. A very good breakfast too.

Excellent central to the town good locatio Small car park. So limited spaces. But there is a town centre car park across the street, good fresh cooked breakfast. Bedrooms clean and fresh renovated, no big deal for me but if you need a lift, no lift! Stairs only

Lovely room and great hospitality with good food. Sloping floors and stairs only in this old building but centrally situated close to the minster and independent shops -a wonderful bookshop and hardware store especially.
