Festive couples break
Although our room decor was a little tired in places , overall it was very comfortable and any negatives were more than cancelled out due to the excellent service received from all staff . The breakfast service was absolutely top class and the hotel bar area was a nice place to be exuding a warm and festive atmosphere …we would stay again

Two nights in the city
Perfect hotel for spending two pleasant days in Edinburgh. It’s Stockbridge situation was great for our needs. Interesting area to wander around and lots of photo opportunities eg Botanic gardens (free entry) Circus Lane and beautiful new town buildings. Frequent buses throughout the city and beyond.

My first time in Edinburgh and the Nira Caledonia made this visit extremely welcoming and comfortable. My room was luxurious and cozy. The staff are very friendly and helpful. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe in this area and hotel. Loved the espresso in the room.
Thank you Nira Caledonia for the most amazing stay of my UK trip.

It really is a nice property. We had issues checking in with our room and found a live mouse. The night supervisor at the time was not very good at handling the situation and actually threw the blame our way and expected to us to dispose of the mouse.

A little outdated and overpriced
Room had some condition issues, including large black streaks on rug and thin lumpy duvet, with insert sliding all to one side. Bathroom door stuck. Mini fridge not plugged in. Had to crawl under desk and disconnect electric pot to find an outlet. Water bottles not refreshed in fridge. No lobby to wait for room in. While waiting 6 hours, no offer of even a bottle of water. No concierge.

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.

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.

Stopped in room 613 for 1 night with my family, the room itself was nice and so was the bathroom. Unfortunately the bed was so hard it was a terrible nights sleep and the pull out sofa bed was so bad that in the end we pulled the mattress off and put it on the floor which was marginally better. I do not believe that this room should be advertised as sleeps 4 due to the poor quality of the pull out bed. I have given the rating as average and not worse due to the helpful staff but unfortunately would not consider going back.
