We just stayed at the Caledonian for our wedding anniversary. Everything was outstanding from the friendly welcome of the concierge and check in to the service at breakfast We also had dinner in the Dean Banks restaurant with the tasting menu and the service and the food was again outstanding. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the room itself whilst not the biggest was perfectly appointed. We would not hesitate to recommend to anyone to stay here.

Average overall
Rooms very cold; inadequate heating and dated. Staff were excellent in terms of service and breakfast was superb. Pool area was also very good. No turndown service and no housekeeping after 5pm - very odd for a premium 5 star hotel.

A magic over night stay.
Our stay in the hotel was first class, all the staff are friendly, helpful and polite. The Concierge was particularly helpful in parking my car and delivering it back. In addition we had tickets for Kevin Quantum’s magic show, which was anazing.

Beautiful hotel
Honeymoon, christmas markets. From being greated at the door on arrival and concierge taking our bags to good bye staff and hotel was impeccable. Free upgrade on room due to honeymoon to an absolutely stunning view of Edinburgh castle. Lovely room and hotel had lunch and drinks in the court which was beautiful, service was again impeccable and food was delicious. Would highly recommend this hotel, and the court
