Nira Caledonia

Lovely hotel, room bijou but perfect, disappointing that there is now no bar, it’s been incorporated into the dining room. We did not eat dinner in the hotel, as the menu seemed rather limited. We had a guest for breakfast, who was warmly welcomed when the receptionist thought she was a hotel guest arriving, but when he realised she wasn’t, he stopped being helpful. Breakfast was good, but the service was poor and slow. We have stayed at the Nira Caledonia several times in the past for up to a week, meeting friends and family in the bar, entertaining them in the restaurant, and generally making the hotel the centre of our stays in Edinburgh. Would we stay again? Probably. The Nira Caledonia used to be our goto hotel in Edinburgh, and although is in a good location for us, with no bar to meet in, and the modest dinner menu, we be looking for an alternative.

This is a beautiful hotel. The breakfast was great. Lots of choice and the staff were pleasant and helpful. My only criticism is the room we were allocated is in the building next to the main hotel. And our room was up several steep flights of stairs in the attic rooms. This could be an issue for anyone older or with poor mobility. Beautifully furnished room but a little hot with one window needing to be propped open with a water bottle as it wouldn’t stay open.

it was grwat weekend, staff very friendly

This is very nice hotel, conveniently located a couple of blocks from George St and the so-called New Town. Rooms are in top condition, clean, my room had a jacuzzi. Very nice taste in decoration. Only two observations: the volume of water in the shower was really low and variable, as well as the temp (in a moment you passed from a trickle of cool water to a normal flow of very hot water. Also, the bed could have been softer.

Had a lovely stay. Really comfortable bedroom and fabulous bathroom. Room was a little warm, as we were on the top floor, and there were a lot of narrow, steep stairs to ascend. Nice buffet breakfast, and pleasant staff.

Perfectly located in New Town, just a short walk from Princes Street. Rooms are very well done, spotlessly maintained and the staff are very friendly. It's not cheap, but nothing in Edinburgh is given the restrictions on new buildings. Visitors from overseas may find the "Wee Double" a bit small, but you're not going to get massive rooms for a reasonable price in the middle of a World Heritage Site. A special thanks to the staff - the receptionist, night receptionist and breakfast staff who were incredibly friendly and helpful. To me that always makes a big difference.

A beautiful small luxury hotel in a quiet neighborhood close to restaurants and tourist attractions. We were returning guest after 6 years ago. We were fortunate to get a jacuzzi suite with a walkout garden. Really beautiful!! The staff is very friendly and efficient and a delicious cooked breakfast.

Was not made aware until I arrived that the hotel did not offer room service or food apart from breakfast, despite being advertised as otherwise. Be aware the property has lots of stairs, no lifts and staff do not offer to help with luggage all in all not very luxurious.

The staff was really nice and helpful. I really appreciated them. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The location was close to everything Edinburgh offered. The continental breakfast was also very good. I would definitely book again.
