Michelin Guide "Impressive former sea mens' mission, set on the quayside; the first of the Malmaison hotels."
Insight Guides "A superb renovation of Leith's former Seamen's Mission building featuring art deco styling, four-poster beds and a first class restaurant and Parisian bistro."
Rough Guide "Chic, modern hotel set in the grand old seamen’s hostel just back from the wharf-side."
Star Service "Located a 15-minute drive from the center (a long half-hour walk), this hotel cuts a fashionable figure in the longshoreman's part of town." Full review
Frommer's "It's a respectable part of the spruced-up waterfront, its brasserie and bar buzzing, with guests spilling out onto the cobbled street." Full review

Opt for a room at the front that overlooks the port

Be sure to ask for a superior room at the front of the hotel, for extra space and a view over the river.

"The 28-room NiraCaledonia is a seriously upscale boutique occupying a charming 18th-century property in Edinburgh's New Town." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"If a hotel can be the soul of discretion, this quietly confident hotel is it — this place is for those who want luxury that whispers, rather than shouts." Full review
Fodor's "A modern and worldly boutique hotel on the edge of the New Town, Nira Caledonia defiantly casts aside old Edinburgh luxury in favor of contemporary comfort and style." Full review
Frommer's "This 28-room boutique hotel eschews traditional tartan in favor of a dramatic black-and-gold color scheme." Full review
Michelin Guide "A pair of stunningly well-preserved Georgian townhouses in Edinburgh’s New Town provides the setting for Nira Caledonia, a high-end boutique hotel that ticks all the boxes, from local color and historical character to luxe, thoughtful comforts and swanky contemporary style" Full review

Inside the rooms all the clichés of Scottish kitsch are studiously avoided — the décor is clean and contemporary, with subtle nods rather than full-blown bows to the past.
