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.
