The staff was exceptionally nice! It was great being right on the bus line. Parking was free.
We were in the lodge portion of the hotel. It seemed a bit shabby compared to the main hotel, but it was very clean and the beds comfortable so I didn’t care.

Close to old area of town. Nice facilities. We first had a room in lodge, which was newer and did not look as fancy as the pictures. When we switched to a room inside I was more impressed. Easy to catch a bus or Uber. Our friends didn't like the hardness of their beds but when we traded rooms we were okay with them.
No elevator and those are some tall stairs! But someone helped us carry bags Breakfast was only take it or leave it and I didn't want to spend big money just to have toast and coffee. Would have liked a less expensive option.

I was in Edinburgh already, I decided to stay one extra night, and I gotta say I was very lucky to find this hotel: what a gorgeous place. My room was one of the grandest I've ever slept in with a magnificent Victorian vibe, stunning bay windows, and impressive ceiling plasterwork. The bed was comfort at the max, and I had a great night's sleep in a very quiet environment. Breakfast was freshly cooked and very tasty — I got all I needed to start the day properly. The staff was extremely friendly and made me feel welcomed as soon as I stepped in. Wish I had stayed longer!
Nothing.

The staff was incredibly helpful. This is a beautiful old home with a lovely lounge for an evening wind down with drinks and quiet. It is accessible to an easily navigable bus line minutes from Auld Town so one need not drive and find parking. We were in the main house, not the lodge building. There is free parking.
One of rooms we received was not what we had booked, the other was as booked and comfortable. They were both unexpectedly modern from the photos I'd seen. The attic room had a switch outside the bathroom that worked the shower! Be sure the staff explains all the tricks of the room to you! Including how to turn on shower and towel bars! Things have seen the use of time and are a bit worn. After having breakfast there the first day, we opted to have breakfast elsewhere. Breakfast is not included in the rental of the room. I would have enjoyed an outdoor bench or chairs.

Excellent location, bus stop right outside the hotel. On check in, Lewis was amazing, full of information about Edinburgh and very helpful. Breakfast was very good and the room was comfortable but dated. I believe the hotel is in the process of being updated. All in all a very good, reasonably priced hotel close to the city centre
After reading the reviews I was disappointed to find that there was no complimentary sherry in our room. I think this is only offered in the main building

Breakfast was very good and staff were very attentive and service was excellent. Comfortable bed. Great location for catching the bus and access to the city of Edinburgh. There was a problem with the plumbing on our first day and it was repaired successfully within the day.
The bathroom became very steamy after showers. The fan did not cope well. Very moist. A fridge would have been nice and a room safe. We did expect some room service during our 3 night stay although it was offered in the evening of our first day after the plumbing incident.

The location is good, 6-7 minutes away from center, quite area and clean neighbourhood. I was impressed with the property features, very cosy and amazingly maintained , the staff were professional and welcoming, the breakfast was super good. Overall the service and the hotel were an amazing experience and a splendour taking you back in centuries, I will definitely go back when I will visit again Edinburgh, highly recommended.
Would be nice to serve lunch/dinner

The receptionist was helpful and accomadating even though we arrived an hour late due to road closures. The breakfast was huge and delicious real authentic Scots fare with perfect eggs, tattie scones, bacon, sausage, haggis, black pudding and all the trimmings! A great breakfast server too with a good sense of humour always a blessing first thing in the morning!
Hardly anything - the water pressure was a bit low when we arrived!

Breakfast was lovely although I do struggle to think about what I’ll fancy to eat 12hrs plus in advance. The bed was extremely comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful.
The room was a little disappointing. There was very little wardrobe/drawer space. The room was supposedly ‘serviced’ every day but apart from fresh water and biscuits, the bed was hardly touched - just pulled together. The pillows were left as we had left them and the bathroom floor was rough underfoot as it needed re-grouting.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kildonan Lodge Hotel, every detail was tended to with such care and we would recommend to anyone! We received an exceptionally warm welcome and was able to check in early which we were so grateful for after a long journey! All members of staff were so friendly and happy to help with anything. The breakfast was very tasty with a great selection which was served in the most beautiful dining room. The lounge area was absolutely gorgeous, to be able to sit in front of the fire after our adventures was a huge delight and the Christmas trees were a gorgeous added extra! The location was great with very easy access to the city centre, whether it be with use of the bus, Uber or even a brisk walk. During our stay the weather was extremely bitter and cold but the hotel made sure that our rooms and the hotel were toasty and comfortable. Our room was very clean, made comfortable with great standard beds and we really appreciated the extra facilities made available to us. Thank you all for a fantastic stay overall and for making our trip to Edinburgh so memorable!
