I like the bar/courtyard area and the serice. I didn't like the coldness of the room but it did heat up after maintenance intervened. The bathroom was 'baltic' caused by old ill fitting window. The room was unsitable for a booking and should not be given to any guest. Very, very disappointed.

This historic hotel was perfect for our visit. The property was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly. The onsite restaurant and bar were nice for a relaxing evening or nightcap. The location is convenient as it makes walking to nearby sites like local shops, restaurants, and the Edinburgh Castle very easy. Highly recommended and would stay there again.

The staff here is amazing. The property isn’t new and doesn’t have luxurious accommodations but it doesn’t matter. The history and the beauty of the surrounding area makes up for it. And the staff is absolutely wonderful. One of the best concierge staff ever. Extremely helpful, so friendly and nice. Easily accessible to many attractions and lots of shopping and dining options around.

Bait and switch
We decided to splurge and enjoy our two nights in Edinburgh at the Caledonian. I rarely leave reviews, but it felt like we experienced a bait and switch which I think others should be aware of before booking. Although the Caledonian is special property in a great location, we were very disappointed, and the value compared to other hotels was poor. Based on other reviews and our experience, I think they likely have many very nice rooms, but they also several that aren’t as nice and unfortunately we were given the small, not nice room despite paying the prices and seeing the photos of what look like much nicer rooms for the room we booked. It unfortunately felt like a bait and switch and made the experience quite sour, and certainly was not worth the price. I really wish we could leave a positive review but here were the main issues: - our floor was under construction and the hallways were filled with furniture, the odour of of fresh paint, and workers coming and going all the time as they worked on the rooms and moved items in the service elevator near to our room - very poor water pressure, the shower was functional but only if holding the wand in your hand - one very small, high-up exterior window (maybe 1ft by 2ft) in room that made it so you couldn’t see outside and enjoy the view because of the height and shape - they didn’t restock the tea/coffee station when cleaning so we ran out of tea after the first night - no dressing mirror in the room except normal mirror above s

This was a beautiful hotel. It was recently refurbished. There was a good restaurant right across the street. The bar at the hotel was very nice and quiet. It’s a great place to hang out with friends. There’s also a lounge area that serves food and drink from the bar And the restaurant. Other than the cost, I would highly recommend this hotel. It’s right on Princess Street.
