Overall great experience. Was attending the Fringe festival, where I was involved with a play that was showing. Reception ... gave me a nice room upgrade from a good deal I got through orbitz. Room was on the top floor, nice view, big bathroom, and quiet. I was able to get lots of rest and pick up a good rhythm between the play, events and activities.

Good place for getting some beer and having a good value, tasty meal is Shakespeare, a pub just up the street (ask concierge). I used it as my place to "base it up" with food/drink before running over to the play production every evening.

Sparkling Staff and Service...But....

Jim Jul 31, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

The staff and the service was absolutely sparkling and made up for the lack of maintainence and poor ventilation. Looking ... past that the hotel is an historic hotel, things like ventilation and rotten window frames need to be fixed.

Very good hotel in an excellant location. Service 'spot on' as expected. Single room was small with a single bed and quite ... noisy (water heating system?), although great view of city.

Good stay at Caledonian

ARF Jun 2, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

Enjoyed my stay at the Caledonian- great location, great room, nice big bathroom. The buffett breakfast was great. Also went ... to the spa and had a good experience- wouldn't say it was the best spa though. The only downside is that I woke up one of the nights with the noise outside. The location is so central that on a weekend night you might hear noise from party goers outside.

Edinburgh is like heaven Apr 22, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

The Caledonian Hilton is the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at with the most outstanding staff I have ever encountered. ... Every request we made was accomplished immediately and everyone was so friendly. Arriving at 9am after an all-night transatlantic flight, the front desk staff managed to get our family, including three very tired teenagers, into our rooms by 10am, when check-in should have been 3pm! A special thank you to [...] in the breakfast area, who served us each day, for his helpful advice and local stories. Also, to concierges [...] and [...] for wonderful restaurant suggestions ( Brown's) and help booking activities. I would return in a heartbeat!
