Great spot a little out of the main area but lovely nonetheless! We were on the top floor so be aware without a lift it is quite the effort to get luggage up the stairs. Breakfast was lovely and all the staff were friendly

Bed was comfortable, location was great. They downgraded us without asking so we had a double bed rather than a king and a much smaller room. This was disappointing as the reason I booked with them was the larger bed. It was also quite hot with the heater pipe and the window only opening three inches or so.

This hotel was AMAZING. From the beautifully decorated rooms to the amazing meals, this hotel cannot be beat. The people that worked there were charming, friendly and made us feel at home from the moment we checked in. There are no words to describe how amazing the food was, whether it was breakfast, shared plates, or an elegantly prepared dinner the food was so delicious. On a scale of 1 to 10 the Nira Caledonia gets a 100 !!

The staff very friendly, polite and helpful. The hotel itself is just far enough away from the crowds, in a beautiful part of the city and is a very pleasant walk to the main areas of the Edinburgh city centre. The room was well presented and was immaculate. 10 out of 10 and we plan to return in December

This is an amazing stay for me for 3 nights ! The room is clean and cozy yes I did have to climb to the third floor but the hotel has explained why there wasn’t an elevator. The breakfast is delicious and abundant- you can order from the menu and enjoy the spread they set up by the bar . I could get used to this life !! Thank you !

The room and amenities and view and building and staff were all lovely. Very luxurious feeling hotel. Breakfast was delicious and there were plenty vegetarian options. The only downside is there's no lift/elevator and 47 plus stairs is a bit much for me but if you have no mobility issues 100 out of 10 would definitely recommend

This location was perfect for my trip. Emily who worked in the bar made sure that for the nights I was there I had a cold Diet Coke in the Cooler. I came in was super tired and she offered to take my order and bring it up to my room so I could relax. She also made me a rum old fashion to perfection. All of the staff was so nice and always answered my questions they did not make me feel like I was bothering them. Also this location is located a block away from shopping in Stockbridge and on Sundays there is a Farmers Market right behind the hotel. My room was amazing so cute and super clean. I would highly recommend a stay at this location. Thank for a wonderful stay.

Highly recommend paying the rate that includes breakfast. It is a delightful spread of excellent food with good service. The rooms at Nira Caledonia are sumptious, historic and chock full of amenities, including lovely jetted tubs and french bath supplies. The staff is always ready to help you get what you need. The location is outside of the City Centre, but there are many fabulous restaurants near-by and the Royal Mile is only a 10 min ride or a 25 min walk away. We found getting a taxi or ride share to the Museum on the Mound made for a convenient drop off point.
