Nice charming hoetl with friendly staff,. the staircase in the lobby is lovely and a real focus point of the hotel. Meet up friends one night in the hotel who were from Scotland and had heard about the great reputation the "Caley" and were very impressed. The room was nice with a view over Princes Street but was very noisy... more

Journey back in time and pay today's prices. Edinburgh is the most visited city in Scotland and being Scottish I would never recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city. Old world charm it may have, but if you are looking for value for money this hotel is not for you. It would take millions of pounds to bring this... more

My Husband I were celebrating our anniversary with a long weekend in Edinburgh. Let me start by saying there is a major renovation being done and HALF of the hotel is shut off. We booked months in advance and paid extra for the Deluxe Plus room with a view of the castle. There are four floors in this hotel and... more

Stayed two nights as a base for a work trip and conference at the nearby Sheraton. Fine as a place to get your head down, but wasn't massively impressed. Tatty in places reminded me of the Adelphi in Liverpool: it's seen better days. Certainly wouldn't describe it as five star. Our room was small (perhaps because we were booked in... more

My memory tells me the Caledonian Hilton used to have a way better ranking than the #35 that it is now - and I can fully understand why. It's not a bad place to stay, but far from the excellence you'd associate with the stars, name and pricing. My girlfriend and me went to the place over Christmas. We were... more

I stayed in the Caledonian at Easter as part of a long weekend in Edinburgh / Glasgow - the Cally has long been a favourite and had always been faultless in my opinion. Our initial booking was based upon an 'offer' rate on the Hilton website and when we arrived we were shown to an awful room - tiny, low... more

The Caledonian Hilton is a fab hotel, well located on Princess Street . The hotel is situated in a lovely old building with high ceilings and big windows. Rooms are clean and comfortable, though maybe a little small. The bathroom was lovely with a power shower over the bath, big towels and great little toiletries. Although the hotel is well... more

We booked the Caledonian Hitlon for my partner's birthday just wantng a nice night away. I agree with the previous comments on the disappointment when we got to our room. It was very small with the window wide open and had a strange smell. We closed the window and went down to the bar for a drink. We were charged... more
