I didn’t feel like this property was worth what we paid for it. The pictures are definitely outdated. The “daily cleaning” was just them putting new towels in our room and tucking the bedding in at the bottom, not even fully making the beds. There is no phone in the room and only 1 plug in to use. Long story short, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone unless you’re getting one hell of a deal.

We were a party of Six and stayed for two nights. On the first night the dinner menu was limited in choice although we did receive a 10% discount and the food was ok. The first break was excellent the service was good and the staff friendly and helpful. On the second morning and a change of of staff the breakfast logistics were lacking due to the arrival if a tour coach party the night before. The kitchen and staff couldn't cope. Some of the food items cold and replacement of others were slow or non existent. Other than that all was good. With the exception a request for the towel rails in the shower room to be cleaned. We would choose the Caledonian again in the future

Extremely dated, room smelt so musty. Bathroom was coming to pieces, scuffs everywhere, rust, awful dated decor. I think the walls were made of paper, any footsteps from other rooms woke us up. So dated and so so basic. It was clean but didn’t feel comfortable at all, for £147 a night , I would NOT recommend to anyone. Only saving grace was a decent breakfast.

Food terrible
The staff were friendy the room was clean. As for the food it was basic no offer of food or bar menu for lunch the lunch menu i think was used for evening dinner the choices were basic not that well presented and not realy enjoyable chips instead of potatoes and veg food was over salted especialy the chips . we kept getting told all evening it was a staff shortage no one would take drink order they point blank refused and we waited over half an hour for what was sub standared food and waited a further 45 min for offer of a sweet we gave up and left. This was a special family event for us we had to go to eat in another hotel the fallowing evening which had far better choices and it was a very enjoyable evening. Unfortunalty i would never use the calladonian hotel again and for 5 people it wasnt cheep . I whould however like to say the front of house staff were very plesent considering the awful stuff comming out of the kitchen .
