The Hotel is an old building, but what was disappointing was the renovation going on during our stay. Also the reason I booked this Hotel was for me and my wife to have a nice spa date in there hotel. Only to be told they are only open on weekends. They should be more honest on all aspects and let the customer know before they book. But I understand they would lose bussiness if they do.

Fabulous location, room and facilities. Only slight peeve was no mini bar in the room and two complimentary tiny shortbread biscuits in refreshment tray. Tesco express within 100 metres resolved this. Stayed over six nations Rugby and although hotel full to capacity no fall in level of service.

This is my third and probably final time at the Cali. It’s a beautiful building centrally located. Checkin was fine but after that staff were unfriendly and I was made to feel like I was an inconvenience. Trying to get food was difficult despite half the tables being empty and waiting several hours. Staff seem unhappy and in some cases untrained. There are better options nowadays in Edinburgh that are certainly much cheaper.
