Poor
Only the location was good, everything else, from the building, facilities, rooms, to the room service and quality was below average
Our first room was horrible, the paint was peeling off the walls, the staff didnt explain anything to us upon check in.

Hotel is great. Very well located and with wonderful staff and breakfast. Gym is also very nice, plus there's the pool. Worth it.
Restaurant should have been better. Not great service at all. I would not reccomend for dinner or a tea in the afternoon.

The staff was incredible. Friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Even helped us get a taxi to the airport during a very busy time in the city. View from the room was also great.
Only 1 elevator and its quite small and slow. This could be improved.

The location of you are using hop on/off bus is ideal. The overall ambiance of the property is wonderful. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Joseph at the front desk was the star employee.
No negatives, we truly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful
Nice location and nice hotel!! The view is wonderful, the faculties are very nice. Hotel is next to the railway station and the police station. The security is very good. It's also very convenient to take a taxi.
Because window does reflect light, it's necessary to close the blind completely especially for night time. The hotel rooms have such instructions. However, since we can clearly see the people in other rooms through the reflection on the glass, and others can also see us. So it's quite embarrassing. Other than that, everything was amazing!!

Laura at the front desk was absolutely amazing. The most warm welcome & helpful introduction to the property as well as Edinburgh. And whenever we saw her throughout our stay, she remembered us & was so absolutely warm & kind. A stand out in our entire week in the UK. The property is very cool in an excellent location, walkable to everything we wanted to do with our time. The bar is beautiful & the breakfast room is quite nice & full of bustle in the am. The entire staff at this property is actually quite wonderful.
Currently under renovation, the property is a bit difficult to get around. Our room was on the 5th floor & we couldn't find the staircase that lead from the 4th to the 5th floor - because it is different than the main staircase. The renovation has also left one elevator not working (the property does a decent job of explaining it & making up for the inconvenience with free drink cards for the bar). Parking is self-park at a public garage around the corner from the property - no valet. It worked out just fine, but it isn't ideal. Our stay was actually quite nice, but we stayed in 4 total hotels in our time in the UK and The Caledonian fell to the bottom spot on our list from best to least good - even with the exceptional service & kindness of Laura.

Very Good
The lobby was grand. The location was very good. The service was very good and pleasant.
There was only one elevator for all guests and luggage. . This made wait times longer and felt chaotic at times especially with tour groups arriving and leaving. The service in the restaurant was inconsistent. Two mornings we got two coffees to go complimentary and on the third morning the hostess said there would be a charge. She didn’t charge when I questioned it. Dinner in both restaurants was good but service was slow and inconsistent and one evening the wait staff never came back to take our desert order so we just asked for the check. (Lobby restaurant).

Great property with very friendly staff and nice rooms. Very central location. Many cool pubs, restaurants, and awesome sights in close proximity. Also, there is a SIXT car rental spot (Edinburgh Old Town) right around the corner in case you want to rent a car to go to the Highlands.
The breakfast concept — a combination of ordering plates from the menu and buffet — was very nice (loved to have my daily Haggis :)), albeit slightly hard to understand on the first day we got there.

Disappointing
Good location. Great staff
No breakfast with a $500+ room. Construction right outside the window starting at 7 am. Very small room for a luxury hotel.

Staff friendly and helpful. Loved the old building.
Rooms did not meet expectation, paid a lot and had a tiny room. 1 chair, and so small had to squish by the chair to get to that side of the bed. Closet very very small, no dresser, just night stand. For the price I would have thought they’d have bigger rooms with more than I seat for sitting.

Prime location and beautiful view of Edinburgh Castle from our room. A bit pricey but worth it
The cost, but this is just due to the American dollar vs the pound at this time

Fair
The location , the facade and the friendly staff on the front desks
We were given a room on the 5th floor , as an upgrade. The upgraded room seemed to be in the attique. It was at the farthest end of the corridor, the lifts were old, slow and clumsy , didn’t really deserve the amount that we paid up.

Very Poor
Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing. On the first night, there was a serious plumbing issue in our bathroom, and we were told we had to move rooms. Our belongings were moved to another room without our consent, which was upsetting and unprofessional. The elevator was very old and slow, and we often had to wait a long time for it. Also, housekeeping did not clean our room daily, which we expected from a hotel of this level. Most of the staff were not particularly friendly or welcoming. There was no apology or gesture of goodwill regarding the first-night incident, which left us with a bad impression. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel based on our experience.

I took my family to this marvelous hotel for three nights, and everything about it exceeded my expectations. The rooms were beautiful and impeccably clean, but what truly stood out was the warmth and professionalism of the entire teamfrom the concierge and receptionists to housekeeping. One evening, my son fell ill, and the kindness shown by the hotel staff moved me deeply. A receptionist (whose name I, unfortunately, can’t recall) arranged transportation for us to the hospital and even more incredibly, the hotel covered the cost. She checked on us the next day with genuine care and concern. That level of empathy and service is something I will never forget. This experience left a lasting impression on our family, and we will definitely be returning. Thank you for making our stay not only comfortable but truly meaningful.
