July 2024Absolutely delicious afternoon tea! Love the variety of items and that they do different themes so I can visit a few times a year and have different experiences. They also cater to dietary restrictions

May 2024We stayed here recently and I'd recommend it as one of the very best hotels in Scotland. Brilliant location in front of Edinburgh castle. Old world charm and luxury. Beautiful rooms with everything you could want / need. The restaurant was stunning. The spa, pool and gym was a bonus. We were super impressed with the service by the front desk , the concierge, and the timely phone call to tell us our room was ready. I'd rate the service 10/10. Over and above all of that, our experience will be memorable as the front desk provided us with a transfer to our next hotel in their Bentley. Really grateful to all the staff who made this a great stay. We will definitely choose the caley for our return visit to Edinburgh.

May 2024Super great stay here. Rooms were fab, we had an amazing view of the castle from every window, but the service was excellent from start to finish. Hotel is dog friendly but the bars and restaurants are not which makes breakfast a little tricky. Breakfast was very good though

June 2024We had a mixed experience. The bellman, front desk, and laundry service was wonderful. However, our room was very hot and the A/C wasn’t working. The windows were very old and single paned so they did very little for insulation. We asked for the A/C to be fixed. They brought a fan up which was better than nothing but for a hotel of this caliber I was expecting things to be in working order. Also upon check in, a used bottle of water was left in the mini fridge which lead me to question how well they cleaned the room. Service at Caley’s for dinner was very slow. However the breakfast buffet service in the morning was great. The hotel was in a good location but I would look elsewhere next time.

May 2024We arrived early from a 18 hour flight at 10 am. We where told our room would be ready in a few hours (no big deal I get it) but then people where arriving way later than us and where getting their room. I knew some of the people and it was the same type of room we ultimately got. I requested a phone call or text when our room was available. Starting at 2 I started double checking the availability every hour. It was not until 5:23 pm that our room was available. I asked when it came available and they said 4:17. I asked why I did not get a call or text about it and they said they did not have my number. It was literally written down next to the keyboard with my name on it as the lady is telling me this. When I pointed it out she said she there where no notes from the previous front desk person. When we get our room we realize our air conditioning does not work which they knew but said they forgot to tell me. I asked for a fan and they said no problem. They brought me a heater. I kept calling asking for a fan and they said it would be at my room shortly. After 2 days I gave up. The house keeping was great, the food was OK but the location was truly amazing. I would look else where unless you only care about location. For the cost I expected a much better experience with the place. Gym was OK but very limited.
