Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Tigerlily is known for its spacious and comfortable rooms, some even upgraded to the beautiful Georgian Suite featuring tea and coffee facilities. Its location on George Street is often praised, making it easy to enjoy shopping and explore attractions like the Castle and monument within walking distance; the Royal Mile is also accessible within 15 minutes. Breakfast is often described as grand, and the cocktails at the bar are considered delicious, although some guests have noted that the windows in some rooms cannot be opened, and they face inward to a light shaft.
