Nira Caledonia

A very pleasant hotel in a lovely quiet area of the city. The service was very good and breakfast was delucious with even haggis served. The room was cosy and comfortable but did need some renovation. For example the shower head bracket fell off the wall, the wardrobe knob came off easily and there were old stains on the celing. Still it was a very pleasant stay. Recommended.

Kind of the ideal mix between an AirBnB and a larger hotel. Room was nicely appointed with a lovely view. Staff were helpful. Great location. Not perfect: bed wasn’t my favorite (though not bad), and some dude was singing loudly in a nearby room around 11 pm. But I’d stay here again, no doubt.

We lived our stay!! Our stay was lovely! The location was perfect. Not too far from the castle and royal mile, yet still fed the beaten path from the hustle and bustle and noise of the city! The staff was excellent and accommodating. Our breakfast was delicious!! We ate at Nok’s kitchen, just around the corner on our first night and walked Curcus Lane and walked Dean’s Village along the river Leith. I would definitely stay again in this hotel!

I booked Nira Caledonia looking for a luxury experience in Edinburgh. I reserved 2 rooms for a 4-night stay, which cost over $3,400 USD. While I want to be fair and say that the staff members themselves were very nice and highly professional, excellent hospitality cannot make up for the fact that I have never been more uncomfortable or miserable in my life. There is absolutely no air conditioning. We were placed on the 3rd floor, where the heat rises and pools, making the rooms feel like an actual oven. To make matters worse, you are completely locked into the suffocating heat because the hotel does not allow you to open the windows. I was told this policy is because someone unfortunately jumped from a window once in the past. As a result, you are trapped in a hot room with zero chance of getting a cross breeze or any cooler air at night. The staff provided a fan, but it did nothing but push around hot, stagnant air. This isn't luxury; it was pure torture. With temperatures rising in Europe every single year, this issue is only going to get worse. I will never stay here again. On top of the heat issue, the housekeeping staff took a stack of our personal green washcloths from one of the rooms. They were neatly folded and clean. The hotel's towels are white, and they don't even provide washcloths, so there is no reason they should have been cleared out. While management initially told me I would be refunded for the missing items, I didn't actually see a dime of that refund until I had to go over their heads and write to corporate to complain that the promise was never fulfilled.
