Great hotel with lots of character, very cozy and I had a great nights sleep! The owner showed us to our room and was so lovey and helpful! They even checked if I had turned my hair straighteners off when I called and made sure I didn’t worry! :) very clean as well! Thanks for a lovely stay :)

The George is great! And it's in a super convenient location right in the middle of town. I have stayed here loads when going out in the area. Perfect if you need a simple room to stay after a night out.Always clean and the staff are friendly. Will definitely stay again.

The atmosphere isn’t the best. The location is amazing though! It is just the staff that works there. I live downtown and have had people come up to me and explain that they have gotten sick from the food. As well as not enjoying the atmosphere as everyone seems closed off. I do not recommend.

Lovely bar restaurant area. Didn’t stay on my visit but definitely will re-visit in the future and stay.Staff are friendly and welcoming, good range of beers on draft and menu looked inviting although I didn’t have a meal. I Will update my review in future when I use the restaurant and have an overnight stay.

Checkin was weird, and assumed you had cell phone service in the uk or wifi calling to check in. Nothing fancy. Asked for more pillows, was told 30 minutes, took 2hrs. Our side was not river view, not even sure there is a river to view. In center of town, was loud ouyside until quite late

Great location 20 mins by public bus (£2) to Stansted airport. There was a tapas bar with DJ across the road that we enjoyed. In the heart of the town, there seemed to be a good choice of places to eat and shops nearby. …

Simple and efficient hotel. I recommend. The only issue was the cost of transport to London, which is very expensive.
