Nira Caledonia

Dies ist ein wunderschönes Hotel. Das Frühstück war großartig. Viel Auswahl und das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Mein einziger Kritikpunkt ist, dass das Zimmer, das uns zugewiesen wurde, im Gebäude neben dem Haupthotel liegt. Und unser Zimmer befand sich über mehrere steile Treppen im Dachgeschoss. Dies könnte ein Problem für ältere Personen oder Menschen mit eingeschränkter Mobilität sein. Wunderschön eingerichtetes Zimmer, aber etwas heiß, da ein Fenster mit einer Wasserflasche offen gehalten werden musste, da es nicht offen blieb.

Schönes Hotel, das Zimmer ist ein Bijou, aber perfekt, enttäuschend, dass es jetzt keine Bar mehr gibt, sie wurde in den Speisesaal integriert. Wir haben nicht im Hotel zu Abend gegessen, da die Speisekarte eher begrenzt schien. Wir hatten einen Gast zum Frühstück, der herzlich begrüßt wurde, als der Rezeptionist dachte, sie sei ein ankommender Hotelgast, aber als ihm klar wurde, dass dies nicht der Fall war, hörte er auf, hilfsbereit zu sein. Das Frühstück war gut, aber der Service war schlecht und langsam. Wir waren in der Vergangenheit mehrmals bis zu einer Woche im Nira Caledonia, trafen Freunde und Familie in der Bar, bewirteten sie im Restaurant und machten das Hotel im Allgemeinen zum Mittelpunkt unserer Aufenthalte in Edinburgh. Würden wir wieder hier übernachten? Wahrscheinlich. Das Nira Caledonia war früher unser Lieblingshotel in Edinburgh, und obwohl es für uns eine gute Lage hat, es keine Bar zum Treffen gibt und die Abendkarte bescheiden ist, suchen wir nach einer Alternative.

Es war ein tolles Wochenende, das Personal war sehr freundlich

Thank you to the Nira for making my partners 40th Birthday super special. Fantastic location in a quiet street just a short stroll from everything, very attentive staff especially at breakfast, stunning spacious room (with balloons and romantic turndown add on) with sofa, delicious hot breakfast and continental options, I literally can not fault this hotel at all... the DAB radio, coffee machine and jacuzzi bath was lovely luxuries for my partner. He had the best birthday thanks to the Nira. Ignore all negative comments, this hotel is worth every penny

The hotel is more of a B&B, it is so over priced for a tiny room and poor quality. We booked a wee double. It was too small and both travellers were 4 ft 11 and 5ft 3. So not big people. The bathroom is so cramped you need to manoeuvre to get out of the shower. On arrival a girl is standing inside the door on check in. No welcome until I instigated questions on the area. There are NO LIFTS so avoid if you have any mobility problems. The stairs are very steep going up and down. We were on floor 2. You can't check in until 3pm on the day you arrive and also need to check out at 11am the day you leave. It was not stressed that the price only included a continental breakfast. Which was the worst I've seen presented in all my travels. A very basic selection of food. White and brown processed sliced bread for toasting. No fresh baguettes or bread rolls. A selection of 3 pastries on morning 1 & on morning 2 even though we were at breakfast for 9.20am, 1 hour before service ends, there was only cold croissants and 1 pan au chocolate left, when I asked if there was more, I was told "no don't think so". They were not fresh. The overall continental breakfast was really poorly presented. In the evening on our return from touring Edinburgh, we asked for a wine glass to take to the room. There was no personality from the person we dealt with asking us how was our day, what was our plan for tomorrow, just blank & then got the glass. Same on night 2. Asked for 2 glasses. A very uncomfortable exchange from the man on desk duty. All staff lack personality for a supposed 4 start luxury hotel. This hotel probably earns it stars as they serve evening meals but not on Mondays. It really is not worth what we paid for it. On the 2nd day touring, we were so wet and cold when we got back, I rang down to reception to say the heating was off. I was told wait 15 minutes. This was 4.45pm. We sat in our room with our hats n scarfs on. On checking out, the girl who met us on day 1 had no conversation once again. She asked how was the stay and I replied ok. She then walked off, I presumed she was gone down to the office to paper work. We waited on the seat and eventually when she came back, I asked her is that it.. no paper work. She replied no. So that is how they thank people for their stay.

Nice elegant place, good comfortable rooms, tasty breakfast with good selection to choose from. Friendly staff, good location with an easy walking distance to all major attractions. Overall recommended
