This is my third and probably final time at the Cali. It’s a beautiful building centrally located. Checkin was fine but after that staff were unfriendly and I was made to feel like I was an inconvenience. Trying to get food was difficult despite half the tables being empty and waiting several hours. Staff seem unhappy and in some cases untrained. There are better options nowadays in Edinburgh that are certainly much cheaper.

We had an amazing stay at The Caledonian! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. In fact, before we arrived I had an email asking if we required anything specific for our stay or recommendations for places to visit or restaurants. We were delighted when our room was upgraded as we were visiting for a very special birthday celebration. The suite we stayed in was fantastic! Everything was clean, in excellent condition and comfortable. We went for a family swim in the pool and really enjoyed the experience. The staff in the spa were helpful and welcoming, and the pool area felt clean and safe. The breakfast experience was wonderful; the food was fresh and you could tell it was of the finest quality. The waiting staff couldn’t have been more accommodating, especially with a slightly fussy young child who changed her mind a few times! The breakfast food selection was fantastic and everything was delicious. We had the best stay and it really made for a memorable birthday treat, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this hotel again, the next time we visit Edinburgh!

Icing on the cake for any Edinburgh visitor!

Absolutely beautiful hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. If you are in town for just a few days, it is the perfect location to take in the sights and explore both Old Town and New Town. The rooms are comfortable, and the breakfast offers a TON of food. This also feels like a great value -- you can stay in an elegant, historic building that is centrally located, and it's still a reasonable price!
