Nira Caledonia

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.

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.
