Nira Caledonia

The experience was beyond perfect! I mentioned it was my birthday and got an upgrade to a beautiful room with lovely treats and a sweet card! I felt so special and delighted! The two reception staff were extremely polite, kind, and friendly, as was the lady who served us at breakfast. The room was spotless, the décor is amazing, and the location is in one of the most beautiful and charming neighborhoods in Edinburgh. I loved absolutely everything. Thank you for making my special moment even more memorable!

Absolutely loved our stay here. Thee staff were top notch. They really went the extra mile (Scottish Mile 😉) to make our stay special. From the exceptional breakfasts to start our day, to making a packed lunch special for us on a long tour day. The vibe was great. Totally walkable to shops and a wide variety of eateries and pubs on Rose Street nearby, to the special sites about town. Would we stay there again? The answer is aye!

Nira Calededonia is a lovely boutique hotel. The restaurant is very nice and the location is superb. It's in the quiet neighborhood of Stockbridge, not far from the Water of Leith Walkway which is lovely, and nice cafes and shops. Also walkable to the Royal Mile and the Mound in about 20 minutes. Or by bus. While we mostly enjoyed our stay, we were disappointed with our room. It was one flight down from reception, on a lower level. It was in a hallway that is also used for service by the restaurant, close to the restaurant bathroom and storage, so there are lots of comings and goings of guests or employees, and deliveries outside our window starting early morning. The outer service entrance door would slam shut and it would shutter our room door, sounding as if someone was trying to get inside our space. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom was modern, clean and nice with an enjoyable shower/bath supplied with nice products and lotions (L'Occitane). But the carpets leading to and inside the room were stained and dirty from traffic. Not what you'd expect from a 4 star place. There was also a tiny portal like window in our room, a cute feature in the day, but would allow the security light outside our room to shine on our faces in bed at night (without an easy way to cover it up). All in all, we felt we were given a second rate room in a service hall, as the upper floors and other areas were lighter and seemingly fresher looking. Otherwise, could have been a 5 star experience for us. The positives were the excellent housekeeping, and a staff that was curteous and helpful.

This is a lovely hotel in a perfect Edinburgh location near water of Leith and Stockbridge. The rule of the day is steps ! The hotel has lots , our petite town house double was on the top floor of the second house but gave stunning views and a a quiet location . Only 15 mins from princes st but next to the trendy Stockbridge area with the excellent Scran and Scallie restaurant and independent stores, there is also a really good farmers market on a Sunday . The hotel is friendly and the staff are excellent . We ate there one night and the food was beautifully prepared and for Edinburgh reasonably priced . Hotels in the city are not cheap and this one is no different but overall excellent value for money . Our room had a bath , fridge kettle and espresso machine . Rooms were very clean and well serviced each day .
