Caledonian Hotel

Hotel is really run down. Room obviously had someone with body odour either cleaning it or staying in it previously. I couldn't get the window open to let air in. I also had to negotiate with staff to buy a drink, 15 minutes before the bar stated closing time.

Very friendly and efficient staff. Excellent breakfast. Quiet and comfortable room although took a while to cool down once I shut the curtains and opened the windows. Perhaps the staff could do this in advance in hot days? Bathroom was old but functional. Easy onsite parking.

Basic hotel in a good location with lots of parking. Very good cooked breakfast

Enjoyed my stay but tv was nit recieving a signal, i was not offered internet or password and the kettle needed a good clean/de scale these points spoiled a good stay as room, parking,breakfast was good for the price paid.

This an average hotel only provides a b&b service. The cooked breakfast is very good. There is a bar but it doesn't stay open for very long. The room we had was clean, but lacked sound proofing. We could hear everything going on in the next room.

Close to centre. Parking available. Great breakfast

No air conditioning. No elevator. Not accessible at all. Smelled of cigarettes, but the beds were fairly comfortable. The porridge was excellent. Staff were kindly.

Large comfortable room was a bit disappointed the restaurant wasn't open so no food available for the evening.

Didnt eat here so, cant comment on breakfast. The restaurant wasn't open for evening meals.

Staff wer very helpful and polite and the breakfast was lovely and ther was plenty of it .The room was amazing and spotless

Amazing staff and clean/warm accomodation Especially loved their attention to detail with bathroom amenities and tea / coffee Breakfast included in the morning was also a bonus and very much appreciated

Convenient and clean. The bedrooms in this property are functional as are the bathrooms. However, bathrooms are very dated & could do with a facelift. The room amenities are as expected. Kettle (with small amount of limescale) teas/coffees (lovely hot chocolate) & some standard rather dull biscuits; but it is the thought that counts. A missed opportunity here not offering local [Scottish] fare. Small, but scrupulously clean, bed. In this day & age when we are all so used to Kingsize, suddenly encountering a "double" is a shock and makes it seem even smaller. The room could easily take a Kingsize. The shower pressure was decent, but the cubicle was again quite small (albeit standard size). If one was larger, it would have been a struggle. The breakfast on this occasion was not as good as during previous visits (when it had been fabulous). Some of the items on the hot buffet appeared to have been there too long & dried out (particularly the bacon and haggis) & the fried eggs were congealed. Requests for new eggs were met with reluctance. The breakfast staff were not entirely interested in assisting guests proactively. I observed that questions & requests were met with rather sullen responses & disinclination. A member of staff (manager or owner?) was lounging on a sofa adjacent to the bar during check-in (late evening) & again on check-out (mid morning). This made one feel slightly uneasy & scrutinised, or perhaps they do not entirely trust their staff.

Comfortable, clean and well-sited property. My room was quiet, comfortably heated, well appointed and clean and I was able to work in it without adjacent noise. A very good plentiful self-service breakfast was available in the morning. The Caledonian Hotel ticked all my boxes.

Im giving 5 stars for each component to the review. The hotel is welcoming, nicely decorated and staff wonderful and hard working. Our room was immaculate and very nice, a little older looking and wee bit dark, other than that, no complaints. New comfortable beds, fresh bed white linen, extra blankets in the wardrobe for thoe cold nights. Theres a radiator we had to switch on but once on the room was so cozy. Theres flat screen tv with LOADS of channels, mirror, desk and chair, your refreshments tea/coffee/hot chocolate, condiments and a few pre packed bickies! Iron and board, also hairdryer. The ensuite was bright, tiled and very clean with a shower cubicle. A good size sink and toilet, narrow glass shelf with complimentary shower gel etc. My only gripe was I had nowhere to place my clothes etc, theres no shelf,hooks or anywhere for this. The price of the room included a wholesome breakfast and pre ordered porridge made with milk! The breakfast was buffet style and absolutely adequate for everyone with cereals, yoghurt, full scottish, toast and jams etc. I will return here.

Comfortable clean spacious rooms. Good value for money. Breakfast great.

It was lovely and clean and the staff were friendly and very helpful

Great staff and breakfast Rooms need modernising

Its ok, cheap , needs renovated in areas. Breakfast is very good. Edge of town , walk 15 min.

Room I was put in was in a separate part of the building at the back walls were not sound proof in the slightest first night guy had his tv on full blast and could hear every conversation then on the second night someone came back late and again could hear everything not a very good sleep could genuinely hear the people snoring in the other room terrible sleep

Lovely room and comfy bed

Large comfortable room was a bit disappointed the restaurant wasn't open so no food available for the evening.

Our room was adequate, with a comfortable bed. The ensuite facility was rather 1970s and in need of refurbishment. The buffet breakfast was overcooked and dry. Nobody was on Reception at check-out time. The general feel was of a hotel that was going to seed, with not enough staff (apart from in the breakfast room).

Overnight trip, dated, staff training needed. Very unfriendly staff at breakfast and the shower in room one ….. don’t bother. Considering the shower etc overpriced

Comfortable clean spacious rooms. Good value for money. Breakfast great.

I liked the peace and quiet . Staff were excellent, very helpful and polite. Hotel itself is very tired. Could do with a revamp. Shower was terrible, hot one minute and cold the next. Should invest in electric ones. Shower head was falling apart. Beds were very comfy. Parts of the curtains were broken. Poor signal on the tv. Picture kept breaking up. If these problems were sorted. The hotel would be a loverly place to stay. Sad really because I really enjoyed staying there apart from the problems I started.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room and bed. Very good food. It was my second visit, it is first choice when staying in the area.

Good breakfast, friendly staff.

Quiet hotel but within walking distance of all shops, restaurants etc. Could do with further lighting in room 5. Staff first class. Will stay again. Having worked away from home for 40 plus years and stayed in various hotels I cannot see why there are so many negative comments.

Rob who was on duty was very welcoming and friendly.The breakfast is the best ive had in a hote
