Nira Caledonia is surrounded by the cobbled streets and Georgian elegance of New Town; a short stroll from Princes Street, Nira Caledonia is a central yet peaceful Edinburgh retreat. Amid the plush pelmets, rich textures and original cornices you'll find flat-screen televisions, Nespresso coffee machines, complimentary Wi-Fi and iPod docking stations. You'll find warm, heartfelt service and a cool, quirky style. Each of our sumptuous rooms and suites across the two Georgian townhouses is unique, with its own opulent character. Many have vast floor-to-ceiling sash windows, a few open out onto a private garden, and some feature a relaxing Jacuzzi. All have new ultra-comfortable beds and pillows of goose feather and down. As a protected Grade A building, we don't have a lift or AC, but our porters are always on hand to provide any tool to make your stay the most comfortable. The cuisine at our restaurant is natural, fresh and often organic, with ingredients farmed, caught, raised or bred in Scotland; with over 25 Scotch whiskey blends and single malts, our bar also focuses on local flavours. With a friendly touch - and a touch of theatre - we welcome independent-minded travellers who prefer to go their own way. Come our way.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

lovely hotel in a lovely area, walkable to princess street / old town. breakfast was really nice, lots of options on the menu alongside continental buffet. Room was clean and nice, comfy bed. Bathroom was spotless. We would stay again. Worth noting there is no lift so if staying on the top floor like we were, it’s a long way up!

We booked this hotel in error, similar name as it seems. However this boutique hotel has been a great find. The staff are amazing and very helpful. The room very comfortable and well appointed for a few days to stay. However, I would add that there is no lift and we were on the top floor. Add the walk from Princess Street, then the trek up the stairs, it will add to your daily exercise. This is only an observation. As is the poor design for the shower screen that allows the water to flow into the floor area. A towel on the floor helps, but beware. Breakfast was incredible and will rival better known chain offerings. So in summary this hotel is a little off the beaten path, quiet, well presented, staff are fabulous and the food was great. We will be back.

Disappointing up grade to the room. Luxuries were not luxuries, towels and dressing gowns very hard. Yea and coffee tray but disappointing. We paid extra for these things and wasn’t great as we upgraded to a suite. We would go back as the location is fab but would only book a standard room. Room was really cold also. Breakfast was nice and staff lovely.

The hotel may have once been luxurious, sadly it is now worn and shabby, more of a tired bed and breakfast. We paid five hundred plus pounds per night for a suite with an outside garden area. Our room was in the basement, a good size and a comfy bed, however that’s where the positives end. The carpets are worn and grubby, the decor in need of updating and the bathroom clumsy. Our outdoor furniture was scruffy which made sitting outside impossible, The staff I think we’re trying their best given what they have to offer, but the service was very poor overall. A terrible stay altogether, I would certainly never repeat the awful experience.

Nice Hotel at Edinburgh, worth its price. Though around 1.5 km from Princess Street, the main market area, it is nice, cozy place with loads of privacy, if you are looking for. Ideal for Couples as well as families that look for a stay away from City Huzzle, buzzle. Please don't forget to carry extra water and other stuff that you want to get it from outside as there is no store/restaurant/pharmacy or anything nearby. Plan your day-trip and return back after food or with take-away before entering back the hotel as probably you wouldn't get anything after your get back to your hotel.

it has taken me this long to calm down so I can write a new review from our stay in August. First we were given the room under the kitchen which was noisey. Then we were moved next door to the ground floor where we could hear all the partying etc of your American guests by our window. We were also locked out of our room at midnight the first night and the person in charge did not have all the information to let us in. We could not get into the main building next door! Breakfast in the mornings before going to fringe was too busy and we had to wait in line. I have decided to give fringe visit a break due to our experience with the hotel! I understand it is a busy time of the year but this was just not good enough.

This hotel is walking distance to the Centre of Edinburgh. It is a lovely spot. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel and both were fabulous. The staff is helpful, accommodating and professional. Don’t hesitate to stay here!

Good hotel with great location. When arrived we got two rooms in the basement. Didn’t feel comfortable there so asked for other rooms and was told it wasn’t possible - however when arguing that I really didn’t like it and my kids felt unsafe - they found two rooms on second floor. These rooms were amazing and I don’t understand why we didn’t get them in the first place…! Anyways - make sure you get rooms on first or second floor. Breakfast is ok but takes forever when ordering food from the menu. Overall - liked the place but rather expensive…

Stayed here for a few nights and the experience was a bit mixed. A late arrival was met with a warm welcome and the hotel did appear welcoming and comfortable. Check in was easy and straightforward but there is no lift and the rooms can be a long way up! Our room was well equipped and comfortable and very clean so it really did set us up for a luxurious stay but then cracks appeared. The room was cleaned on day two but strangely the coffee and water was not replenished. Also it looked like the bathroom was stopped without quite being finished. Then on day three it was fully done. Breakfast on day one was excellent with good food and attentive staff but then it all changed on day with completely different staff and a long wait with indifferent service. Day three was in between the two with again completely new staff. A bit pricey but the location was quite good. That's it really, not bad but not fantastic. Worth a try for one or two nights in my opinion.

The hotel itself is nice enough but not worth the £331 for one night in a “Grand Townhouse Room”. The room itself was in the attic and about 4 flights of stairs up, I understand it’s an old building but it wasn’t the standard you would expect for over £300. Our mini bar was empty not even a bottle of water in it, again I think for the price I would expect to have the option of using a mini bar and at least be given a bottle of water. I was looking forward to my cooked breakfast in the morning to be told they can’t cook anything as the gas wasn’t working so we had the continental breakfast. We was offered a cooked breakfast about 9:30 but we had filled ourselves up on toast by that time. I was offered my breakfast refunded only after having to ask. The hotel should of offered all guests with a refund we shouldn’t of had to ask. We were told by one of the members of staff when complains about our that it was a hit or a miss, not the response you expect when paying so much for a room, just don’t put people in a “hit or a miss” room, especially at that price. Very poor and disappointing. My wife and I hadn’t been away together for a while and we were so excited. We won’t be back.
