Caledonian Hilton Hotel Review

"The Caley," a conspicuous block of red sandstone beyond the west end of West Princes Street Gardens, has imposing Victorian decor that has been faithfully preserved. Built between 1898 and 1902 as the flagship hotel of the Caledonian Railway, its public areas have marbled green columns and an ornate stairwell with a burnished-metalwork balustrade. Rooms and corridors are generally large, and are being refurbished.

    We had a poor expirence at the Caley. We had to have things fixed in the room everyday. Management seemed a bit arrogant towards guests and employees. Be aware one half of the hotel has air conditioning and the other half does not. Room was outdated. Better places to stay in Edinburgh at this price point.
