Fabulous hotel in a fantastic location at the end of Princes Street. Staff that can't do enough for you, no matter what section of staff they're in.

We stayed in Edinburgh for 2 nights to get married. When the hotel found out they were so amazing! They upgraded our room and made such a fuss at every opportunity! It made our wedding so much more of an incredible experience than it already was! We can’t speak highly or thank them enough!

5.0 / 10.0
The most incredible two nights at The Caledonian. The service was perfect and all the staff were so helpful and welcoming.
We were there for our honeymoon and they made it so so special.
Had treatments at the spa which were great and they have a small pool and jacuzzi which gave us a quiet place to relax.
It’s in a great location and there are fantastic bars and restaurants around.
5.0 / 10.0
There are so many things to say about this property, but the staff was the shining star. Everyone from the door staff to the front desk, concierge, and bar was kind and extremely helpful. They helped curate our experience both inside and outside the hotel and made our trip one of a kind. The property is beautiful, and the rooms are spacious. We will 100% stay at this hotel again the next time we are in Edinburgh.

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

Bar prices pricey.

The hotel charged me twice for my stay at the hotel.
$8600 and $7980
Which are not the rates that I should be charged.
We have contacted the hotel multiple times. They don’t answer and of our messages or calls.

Exactly what you expect from a 5-star hotel. Worth the money.

The only issue with the property was that the parking garage was closed for construction. But not a big deal overall as parking was available at the NCP across the street.
10.0 / 10.0
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.

It’s lovely and they try hard. I don’t think they share notes well as we were promised items the next day that were not delivered. Climate control in room was broken.

The hotel is situated in the center of Edinburgh, so all of the sights are in a walking distance. Great service, nice friendly and efficient personnel, top cleanliness and good breakfast. The things I was missing was a power outlet in the bathroom for hair dryer and a high mirror. All in all a top hotel which could be highly recommended to anyone.

Excellent trip from start to finish. We arrived early, but the rooms were already ready. And we got a fantastic upgrade! The concierge helped us plan out our sightseeing for the following day, as well as made a great dinner recommendation and reservation. Drinks and food at Peacock Alley and the Caley bar were excellent. The service was wonderful - I wish I could remember all the staffs’ name who assisted us. Thanks for an excellent stay!

There was a slightly musty or damp smell in the room which wasn’t very pleasant. We could also hear all the traffic as the windows are all single glazed. Everything else was fab

5.0 / 10.0
The hotel has a warm and friendly feel. Among the beauty and grandeur we felt valued and special.
Special mention for the very helpful doorman who went out of his way to make us welcome. I didn't catch his name, but he was working on 14th February.
Our room was immaculate and comfortable with plenty of space and well-equipped. Toiletries are lovely but I would have appreciated a vanity pack (I forgot my cotton buds)
Peacock Alley is amazing! We will go back.
