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
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.
Wonderful location in the New Town, quiet part of the city, lovely character building . Plenty of nice bars and restaurants nearby. Short walk to the more touristy spots. Staff were very helpful with any requests. Rooms were cosy.
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.
Great clean room, very friendly staff, excellent location

All very nice. It’s olde worlde and packed full of charater. Such a nice change from modern hotels. Speedy check in with all staff being friendly. Our room on the bottom floor was spotless with great bedding etc. The breakfast was so good. We would definitely go back.
We stayed for 5 days while enjoying Edinburgh and the surrounding country. The Nira Caledonia was fantastic. We stayed in the jacuzzi suite and took full advantage of this. No better way to relax from the hills of Edinburgh than a good soak. The room was well furnished and very comfortable. The linens were great and both bed and bath had no complaints. The suite we stayed in was in a separate building and on the second floor with no elevator service. This was not a problem for us. We also had breakfast included in our fare and was very surprised by the offerings. Continental and hot meals were available which were all fantastic. We also had dinner here at "Blackwoods". The food was delicious, the drink options were great and the staff was amazing. The PB&J drink was a hit with my wife. And the black pudding appetizer is worth a try.
The location is remarkably quiet and we didn't have any real other noise issues at all. Felt very private and personal. Access to the city is just steps away. If you are willing to walk, the royal mile is just 1 easy mile away.
The house keeping service is also worth calling out as they kept our room spotless and all in-room items refilled daily.
I would recommend this place to anyone visiting looking for something just off the beaten path, but close to everything.
Wonderful warm welcome - fantastic staff, couldn’t do enough. Room was lovely, gorgeous products in the bathroom too! Bed was super comfy - great nights sleep!
The hotel itself looks very nice and makes a good first impression. The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which we appreciated.
However, there were some significant issues that affected our experience. The bathroom felt quite dated, and unfortunately, cleanliness was a problem — there was body hair and even toenails left in the bath when we arrived. While the staff responded promptly and cleaned it after we reported it, this is something that really shouldn’t happen in the first place.
As an apology, the hotel offered us sparkling wine, which was a kind gesture, but we were on a family trip and not drinking, so it wasn’t particularly useful for us.
We also attempted to have breakfast, but due to kitchen issues, we weren’t able to eat. As we already had plans, we had to leave without breakfast. The hotel said they would process a refund for this, which we are still waiting on and hope will come through as promised.
Overall, while the hotel has potential and the staff were pleasant, the cleanliness issue and breakfast disruption were disappointing.
