Laura

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very run down and the staff doesn’t seem to care about making you feel comfortable. Elevators were broken when I arrived and I was traveling alone. I had to climb 4 flights of stairs with my suitcase and bags and no one offered to help. My room felt sparse and dated. And the lighting was so poor in the bathroom I had to get ready in the bedroom instead. The walls were so thin I could hear my neighbors phone buzzing and voices from rooms down the hall. Also it’s quite a far walk to downtown where all the restaurants and shops are. And the hotel restaurant only seats people if they have a pre booked reservation. I watched an older couple get turned away at dinner. And the restaurant wasn’t even half full. Worst hotel of my 2 week trip. Glad I was only there 2 nights. Definitely keep looking.

The attendant at the front desk was not helpful at all. He was rude and acted like we were on a military base. Due to two car wrecks we were late arriving. Having tried to call ahead several to let the hotel know why we were late we gave up as no one would pick up. When we asked about food we were told the food service stopped 17 minutes before we arrived. I’ve been to Scotland many times and have never received such poor treatment. At this point I’d prefer sleeping in my car over staying at The Caledonian!

All night I can hear people moving things about on the floor above and shutting doors down the corridor and for over £100 for a single room expected it to be better

The view from the hotel is beautiful over a loch, however, we were disappointed with the condition of the room. The sheets were stained and torn. Pillows and bed not very comfortable. Definitely a budget stay.

Property needs renovation and maintenance. Food sometimes good, sometimes bland. Very friendly staff doing their best. Reasonable value for money. Parking is spacious and safe.
