Thank you Nira Caledonia for such a wonderful, relaxing stay this week - it really added to my experience and great memories of my time in the phenomenal City that is Edinburgh. I would 100% stay at Nira Caledonia again. The location, decor, attentive staff, rooms, breakfast and tariff were all spot on.

A perfect little oasis in the middle of Edinburgh, with helpful staff and a delicious breakfast as well. Great shower room, very comfortable bed and all very nicely decorated: couldn't have asked for more!

A touch of luxury in a stylish boutique hotel. We were welcomed with a glass of bubbly and an upgraded room. Very comfortable and little extras always delights. Dinner in the restaurant did not disappoint.

Located close to Stockbridge makes Nira Caledonia a great place to stay with a great selection of bars and restaurants close by. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel itself is elegant making it very difficult to have anything other than relaxing stay. A hotel to be recommended

This was our second visit to the Nira Caledonia and we enjoyed the same exceptionally high standard of accommodation and service. The staff are always on hand to make sure your experience is a positive one, at the same time respecting your privacy and personal space. Nothing is too much trouble. The restaurant provides excellent cuisine and refreshments in an ambient setting. Incidentally, there is a range of interesting books to browse through in each of the rooms.
