The Spotlight on Nira Caledonia

Elegant Stay Near the Edinburgh Music Scene


Set in a grand Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh’s picturesque New Town, Nira Caledonia blends classic architecture with boutique luxury. Just a short walk from the buzz of Princes Street and some of the city’s best music venues, this stylish hotel offers a peaceful escape after a night out. Expect plush interiors, goose feather beds, and rooms with spa baths or private garden views for a truly indulgent stay.

Why Concert-goers love it


Concert-goers love Nira Caledonia for its quiet location among cobbled streets—close enough to the action, yet far enough to unwind. You can walk to many central venues or grab late-night transport options nearby. With spa baths in some rooms and breakfast-in-bed available the next morning, it's a great spot to recover in style.

Who this Hotel is great for


  • Groups of friends looking for a classy base
  • Solo travelers catching a dream gig
  • Couples on a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans wanting a quiet retreat post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options


While the restaurant and bar are currently reopening (set to impress with fresh Scottish ingredients), guests can still enjoy breakfast served in-room—perfect if you stayed out late. Local eateries and cafés are just a short stroll away, offering plenty of post-concert dining choices. The bar will feature over 25 Scotch whiskies, ideal for a nightcap.

Nightlife Options


Though the hotel itself is more about relaxed luxury than late-night parties, you're within easy reach of Edinburgh’s bars, lounges, and live music pubs. When the hotel bar reopens, expect a cozy spot to sip Scottish whiskies and relive the night’s setlist.

What People Say


Guests consistently rave about the charming period features, incredibly comfy beds, and the helpful, friendly staff. Many mention the peaceful vibe and how well it works as a base for exploring the city or attending events.

Areas for Improvement


Some reviewers note that the hotel’s historic structure means no elevator/lift, so be prepared for stairs. Additionally, the restaurant and bar reopening has been awaited, but nearby options fill the gap nicely.

The Bottom Line


If you're heading to a concert in Edinburgh and want a stylish, serene place to recharge, Nira Caledonia hits all the right notes.

Fair - 2.5 out of 5

Rebecca Tue, 3 June 2025

Disappointed and ripped off for...

Liked: The location
Disliked: The extremely overinflated price for a very small and average room. Cigarette burn in the robe. Requested a quiet room and was placed near the cupboard which housed a very noisy water tank. No water in fridge, no shower gel - rectified on request. No nail file but empty packet left. Chipped and old bath. Fire alarm went off and the procedure was poor, no clear communication about what was going on and no roll call. Thankfully a false alarm. Window did not open and seemed no aircon. Breakfast was great - really good food. Service at breakfast was a bit poor as we weren’t informed of what was on offer or included.

Charming Edinburgh Stay: Spacious Room,...

Liked: We thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at this charming hotel. Our spacious room on the fourth floor was a true delight – incredibly comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. The staff were exceptional, consistently professional, and always eager to assist, making our stay even more pleasant.The hotel's location offers the best of both worlds: a remarkably quiet and safe neighborhood for restful nights, yet within a manageable distance of Edinburgh's iconic sights. We found the 20-25 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town's attractions to be an enjoyable part of our daily routine, even with Edinburgh's famously hilly terrain. However while we enjoyed the walk each day the hilly terrain might present a challenge for some visitors.
Disliked: Everything was great

Thank you Nira for making...

Liked: We had booked the Nira to stay somewhere close to the Botanics as we were getting married there on the Saturday. We had booked a wee double but on arrival we were told they had upgraded us to the junior suite which was stunning! They had left a lovely card and chocolates in the room for us. On the Saturday of the wedding they sent up a bottle of champagne for us. All these extras added to a very special time for us. All the staff we so welcoming, attentive and very friendly. We can't thank them enough.

Superb

Liked: A super area to stay, away from the busy streets of tourists. Definitely a hip place, with Stockbridge only minutes away full of cool cafes, pubs and second hand/charity shopping. The staff were also so helpful and accommodating.
Disliked: The water pressure was too low in the sink.

Nice small hotel close to...

Liked: Great room, loved the garden view, loved the ambiance. Spacious bathroom, quality toiletries, very clean. Great assistance from day staff
Disliked: I hate the lack of soundproofing. My room was on the first floor, and if someone is speaking loudly on the ground floor it feels like they're right at your door. I understand the charm of the old building and doors but it is quite annoying.
