Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Tigerlily, situated on George Street, is known for its vibrant and elegant decor, including gorgeous lighting and vibrant color schemes. The spacious rooms feature amenities like Nespresso coffee machines, and some even include GHD straighteners. While most find the location ideal, being within a 15-minute walk of Waverley Train Station and close to shops and restaurants, a few guests have noted that the heating system can be a bit tricky. Many guests appreciate the excellent value of the set menu in the beautiful modern restaurant, making it a very good choice for a short break in Edinburgh.
