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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I appreciate certain aspects of the stay, I believe the overall service did not reflect the value of the price paid. There was only one elevator serving all rooms, which led to frequent delays going up and down. Reaching room service often took a long time, and even after someone answered, there was usually no proper follow-up — we had to go down in person to get assistance. Additionally, I found that most of the staff were not very welcoming. Only one or two team members were friendly and willing to help. Unfortunately, the rest appeared uninterested and responded with the shortest answers possible, making the interaction feel rushed and unhelpful.

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.
