The location of Nira Caledonia is excellent, and I really wanted to love this hotel as it clearly has a lot of potential. We stayed in a Wee Room, which was perfectly fine for what we paid for. However, it was located in the attic and the stairs to reach it were extremely steep — managing four suitcases was a real challenge. It would have been helpful if, at check-in, a Wee Room on a lower or mid-floor could have been offered. Breakfast was unfortunately the main disappointment. On the first morning the chef had called in sick, so only a continental breakfast was available — this was actually very good, so no complaints there. The second morning, however, we waited nearly an hour for a cooked breakfast, while every other table was served before us. Our order was also mixed up, likely because the waitress didn’t write anything down. I received scrambled eggs instead of poached, and my partner received poached instead of scrambled. Simple steps like using a notepad and repeating the order back would easily avoid these issues. Overall, I can really see the potential here and genuinely wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it just didn’t quite deliver for us.

I did stay in the small room and the three flights of stairs were a bit much. But the room was so HOT. That is great for sleeping, but it should be easier to turn it down. I had to open a window. The shower was soooooo small and it had a huge contraption of a shower - just simplify and give us more room. I had dinner (bar menu) which was excellent. But then they had the regular menu and I literally could not find anything I wanted to eat. I wish I could haver ordered from the bar menu my last night. Some people like lighter dinners. The staff was fantastic. The room was great. I would stay there again - maybe not on the 3rd floor but only because it was so hot and the bathroom so small. But I would do a 4.5 stars.

Large lamps in the room had to be turned off at the socket on the wall. No light switches to turn the main lights off from the bed. No socket for the kettle near the tea/coffee station. Shower cubicle small for the size of the room and could do with a proper non slip tray. Extractor fan not working. Light switches main niggle. Oh pillows a bit flat.

Size Matters

Before booking, know there isn't a lift or AC in the rooms. Staff will provide a fan for air flow if requested and help with luggage as well. But those facts aren't made known up front. Staff was friendly. The room was cozy, but the bathroom was very small. I'm 6'3" and generlaly average build, and still had trouble being comforatable just moving around. It wasn't possible to sit on the toilet with the placement of it in proximity to the sink. As well, there wasn't a shower wall or curtain so the bathroom was extremely wet after taking a shower. Again, I'm of average size (6'3/195 lbs) and when I would move around in the shower my arms would bump the control and accidentally adjust the water to then have it go ice cold or scalding hot. I had to be very careful about how I would turn in the shower. Overall, it was fine - but it would be near impossible of a large build to physically fit in the bathroom.
