This is a charming hotel with about a 15 minute walk to Princes Street. The room was lovely, the breakfast delicious, and the staff friendly. The only word of warning - there is no elevator so be aware before you book. We had to climb 64 stairs to get to our room, which could be challenging after a full day of sightseeing.

Warm Hospitality and Prime Location" We had a wonderful stay at the Nira Caledonia Hotel. The team, including Pouya and Matt, were incredibly welcoming and warm. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and tidied up daily. The breakfast was delicious, and I highly recommend adding it to your stay. The restaurant staff, Kanrad and Nand, were attentive, friendly, and made sure all our needs were met. The hotel's location is excellent, with easy access to all of Edinburgh's top tourist attractions and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Lovely Boutique Hotel

Lovely boutique hotel with exceptional staff. Great location to explore Edinburgh within east reach of the best bars and restaurants, however , one downside the mattress was extremely soft and squishy and the middle of the mattress had completely gone bad enough to give a sore back in the morning.

Needs a bit of TLC sadly

Unfortunately we had an awful experience on the very first morning with very unprofessional behaviour by a member of staff. The manager sought to rectify the issue immediately but it did sour our stay. On the whole the hotel is perfectly situated and should have been a perfect stay. I did notice an improvement after speaking with the manager, just disappointed it happened as it did. In terms of bedrooms, our grand suite was lovely with its own little garden, comfortable bed etc. the communal areas need some attention - general painting, carpets torn in places and updating. I would stress that the Manager did address my concerns very quickly and I understand that there were actions taken after my experience. If you are Coeliac or gluten intolerant, what I would say is that food options at breakfast are minimal.

Beautiful hotel, quiet area but close to centre

I recently stayed at Nira Caledonia in Edinburgh, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The check-in process was incredibly smooth, and even though we arrived at 10am, the staff kindly held onto our bags so we could explore the city. They even messaged us when our room was ready, which was a few hours before the usual check-in time. The room itself, complete with a hot tub, was beautifully decorated and felt incredibly cosy. It was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing. We also requested additional coffee pods the next day, and to our surprise, they didn't charge us and gave us six extra pods – a lovely touch that truly reflected their hospitality. The breakfast was another highlight. It was cooked to perfection and offered incredible value for money. The entire stay was made even more special by the genuine warmth and attentiveness of the staff. I couldn't recommend Nira Caledonia highly enough. From the excellent service to the stunning room and delicious breakfast, it truly made our time in Edinburgh memorable.

Uncomfortable hotel

Booked a stay for wife and I along with our two kids. They put us in a one room with a pull out sofa beds the kids had to share. Both the bed and sofa bed were extremely uncomfortable. Dust on the shades, water stain in the ceiling and not very helpful in addressing our concerns. I wanted to cancel our second night because it was so bad and they wouldn’t give us a refund. It was only until hotels.com got involved when they canceled it for us.

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.
