Thank you for your review, there can be a bit of street noise especially over the weekend due to the location. Apologies that housekeeping disturbed you with the vacuming, there must have been an early departure/arrival.

Hotel was lovely and clean with very fresh decor. Very helpful and friendly staff.dined in hotel every night,good value and nice range of dinners.Great breakfast in the morning with very civilised dining times.Our stay was over the weekend and the pub across the road had a disco going until about 1.00 am, one of those things. Montrose is a nice wee town with lovely drives all around,would certainly return.

Excellent pub - great accommodation, great food!
George Hotel is a really lovely pub. Excellent food and a really nice comfortable room - with Netflix!! Great shower and nice heating for the chilly nights. We are bike packing so the lovely managers allowed us to keep our bicycles safely secured in the rear yard which was very much appreciated. We had a really yummy breakfast that sustained us for our entire day of cycling! Highly recommend this hotel to anyone passing through Montrose!

Very noisy night due to the pubs in the area. Pillows were paper thin. Breakfast was a bismal not due to the poor waitress that was run off her feet! Always had good meals there but definitely not fit for staying.

We appreciate your feed back, however from your review you have been in the hotel on various occasions for meals, so must have been aware of the location and the surrounding area prior to booking, thus knowing there were various pubs around the hotel, and un fortunately we are unable to control the volume of the public as they walk along George Street.If asked we could have given you additional pillows if the ones in the room were not to your liking.Breakfast service is not a pre-booked slot allowing customers to come down when they wish to take breakfast within the hours served, as this is the case when you have a number of rooms coming down to the dining room at the same time service will slow down and may not be immediate due to us continuing to cook the breakfast to order rather than offering a buffet service, it was not helped on the morning when the waitress accidently gave the wrong breakfasts to the wrong room and they did not say to her, this slowing the chef down as he was then trying to ascertain which room number had been missed to ensure they were fed prior to the later orders as they had been waiting the longest. The waitress is also aware that if she requires help that she needs to ask for this but she felt she was in control until the error occurred.

We booked the George last minute. At £99 we thought a wee bit pricey - but it was the Montrose festival and understood. We had the dog with us - and everyone in the hotel made a fuss of Teddy - the room had a lovely dog bed, treats and a couple of bowls - couldn't fault them. Breakfast time was a bit disorganised - but nothing major - waitress was on her own and was lovely-and we werent in a hurry really. Parking very convenient - would definitely recommend - we were on top floor so you would need to be agile. Thanks for a lovely stay x

Thank you for your review, you do require to be agile if allocated on the top floor, but if when booking customers can request rooms on the lower floors. The receptionist would assist the breakfast waitress if needed, we will note this and revise our procedures to try and eradicate any issues moving forward. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you will visit again.

Response from T. on 7 Dec 2021
When advised of the issues the guest was facing a member of staff went to the room, the flush was tested on the toilet and it was working and still is. The heater is on a timer which can be manually overridden and controlled by the guest, as it is an electric heater. We always go out of our way to ensure guests are happy and if there had been an issue we would have moved the guest to another bedroom and arranged to have the faults sorted.

Building is quite tired in fact we moved room's from deluxe to standard, because the window was jammed and could not be closed, it was open at least 4 in wide, we asked the receptionist she tried to close it but couldn't. Was easier just to move.

Thank you for your review, In regards to the window, these can all be closed, not all staff are able to do this due to the type of window, we had found that most customers have preferred to have had these open to allow fresh air to circulate.

Bit of a mixed bag.
The room (and bed) was good, very spacious and quite comfortable but the same couldn't be said for the en-suite which was cramped at best. Of the two windows we managed to open, one closed of its own accord, leaving us little ability to cool the room, which left us waking due to the heat throughout the night. The other annoyance in the night was the automatic night light at the sink (which was in the room, not in the en-suite), that brightly illuminated the entire room. The hotel is positioned an easy walk from shops, pubs and restaurants/takeaways. A mixed bag, but worth the £79 I paid for a double.

Thank you for your review Scott, background to our top floor rooms were that this was once accommodation for the owners of the hotel, when it was converted to bedrooms at the time the rooms shared a bathroom, through time as guest expectations changed they were all converted to en-suite which resulted in a mix of the size of the en-suites on the top floor due to the positioning of the rooms. We will look at what we can do regarding the light above the sink.
