Home away from home.
We had an amazing experience with Caledonian. From the rich history of the building to feeling of home away from home. We end booking Edinburgh, Scotland for our long months trip. We came across this hotel while finding a hotel in the city. Location is amazing! Walkable to many tourist spots. Conveniently located near everything. Hospitality is top priority. Cozy everywhere you go.
Room we got is newly renovated and an absolute favorite. No view but still great stay. Will absolutely come back here. Breakfast is wonderful. A lot of selections.

Room was not up to standard
Paying over £600 for a room per night, I would have expected the condition to be of higher standard. Phone next to bed made a constant noise, the porcelain taps were chipped and the windows looked like they needed painting. Staff were great and the breakfast was delicious.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, traditional hotel. The building itself had so much charm and character, and the surrounding area felt safe and lively, with plenty to explore. The service was exceptional; the staff were warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Highly recommended!
