Magnificent and relaxing
Pros:

Everything, great location, hotel, breakfast, dinner

Cons:

Getting up 2 flights of stairs after a long day walking around the city was gruesome, but we knew in advance there wasn’t a lift so is t a problem. Maybe a real kettle for a cup of tea in the room and bigger mugs would have been nice, but that’s serious nitpicking

Struttura molto bella e storica in un bellissimo quartiere storico e silenzioso.
Pros:

La camera e la vasca idromassaggio

Cons:

Stare al 3 piano dell'hotel e dura... anche se sapevamo che non ci fosse l'ascensore.

This hotel exceeded all my expectations!
Pros:

Great stay at Hotel Nira Caledonia for two nights with my daughter — it exceeded all my expectations. Quiet location, an extremely comfortable bed (the best sleep I’ve ever had in a hotel), beautiful room, excellent amenities and a coffee machine in the room. Breakfast was fantastic and the staff were very friendly kind. I loved the location of Stockbridge too. Overall score: 100/10.

Lovely townhouse property close to centre, lovely staff. Amazing Breakfast
Pros:

The breakfast was amazing; staff were all lovely. Location was perfect for visiting in Stockbridge area and also not too far from Princess Street

Cons:

The shower cold tap didn’t work so the water was scalding hot. Meant to say to staff on check out but forgot.
Room on 4th floor, there’s no lift but we were ok but just something to bear in mind for those who may have mobility issues.

Pros:

The suite I stayed in was absolutely gorgeous, and sparklingly clean. The hotel itself is lovely and quiet, in an idyllic location in Stockbridge that was also an easy walk to the Royal Mile etc. Near to great coffee shops and restaurants. Reasonably priced (though I did have a Genius discount). I particularly liked the big fluffy towels and bathrobes.

Cons:

Unfortunately the room was overheated and I had to open all the windows to try to cool it down. I had limited staff interaction but it was a bit hit and miss - some were absolutely lovely and others a bit dismissive and inattentive.
