The Caledonian Hotel

Rooms and suites at the Caledonian Hilton

The Caledonian Hotel has a total of 230 rooms -- Single, Twin, Double, Executive Twin/Double -- and 21 suites. They are spacious and luxurious, with palatial ceilings and many original features. These are standard Hilton Hotel rooms with prices ranging from £90 to £375.

The design of the hotel rooms varies from traditional to contemporary. The standard rooms come equipped with the usual you'd expect from a Hilton hotel such as mini bar, interactive television, hair dryer, heated towel rails in the bathrooms, electronic door locks, seating area, work desk, hospitality tray, ironing board and most rooms have safes.

The Executive rooms at the Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh are more spacious and the decor with its antique furniture reflects the luxury and grandeur of the entire hotel.

There are 21 suites at the Caledonian Hilton Hotel all consisting of a large bedroom and large sitting room. The biggest plus for the suites are the views of Edinburgh Castle which is a deciding factor for many visitors choosing the Caledonian as their luxury accommodation in Edinburgh.

The biggest drawback of the hotel is the lack of air conditioning. While Edinburgh is by no means a hot place, the City Centre can get quite stuffy in the summer. On the bright side, Caledonian Hotel does, however, provide table fans.

Caledonian Hotel, Edinburgh - Bottom line

• Staying at one of the two historic luxury railway hotels in Edinburgh can be a fantastic experience. The best part about your stay are mainly the views of Edinburgh Castle from your room, so make it a must if you're thinking of staying at the Caledonian Hotel.
• The side of Edinburgh Castle you can see from the Caledonian Hotel is currently being renovated so scaffolding obstructs a very small part of the Castle. This is not normally a problem unless you want to take perfect pictures of the Castle.
