Room was merely OK. Staff was friendly and location was good were the highlights. Pillows were flat, bed was stiff. Breakfast was average. Would be prettier in the spring/summer as the garden outside area was mostly dead in late November.

On the app it looked really high end, what a disappointment. Entered room to a musty smell. Looked clean. Bathroom toilet seat dirty and broken, towel rail all askew, no bath mat and shower curtain too long bad slip and trip hazard. No bedside unit just an empty space. No where to plug kettle in. If you manage to plug hairdryer in mirror is blocked by tv. Good points parking, soft towels. Wouldn’t stay again or recommend.

The Kildonan Lodge worked out well for our stay in Edinburgh. It's approximately 15 minutes from the City Centre. We used the local bus system to get back and forth and there is a stop wthin a few steps of the hotel. Parking is hard to find and is expensive in the City Centre. Our room was on the lower level, so we did not hear too much traffic noise. The room was clean and it did have a couple of USB ports for us to charge our phones (Canadian) so we did not have to use our converter. Breakfast was great and ready right on time. You preorder the night before advising of time and food choices. Checkin was easy and staff were friendly and helpful. We hired a car to get to the airport which was about a 30 minute drive.

Overall the hotel was a convenient location to stay at. Without a car the bus stops to and from the city were almost out front and 2 pound single fares was wonderful. However minor problems were apparent during the stay. There is no lift ( although the staff did assist happily ). Our TV wasn't hooked to the antenna thus no inroom tv ( although there is a large screen tv downstairs in the lounge ), when there was a large number of people in the breakfast room the meals were mixed up or incorrectly served. The large ( and very thick ) tartan drapes were ripped and there was a tassel hanging from the bed lamp. But i would stay there again as it seems the pluses outweigh the negatives

This was the most awesome place. My family loved it. We had been on vacation for 11 days at this point and stayed in many different locations and we all stated to one another we would have just stayed at this location the whole time. It's perfect. It was spacious, clean, had books, board games, an additional "sun room" with dining table. Two large beds, smaller table to eat at as well. I highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at the Kildonan Lodge which was great value for money. Our room was spotless and very quiet so we had a great nights sleep. The decor is a little bit dated and shower isn’t the most powerful but for the price we paid we thought it was great value for money. Lewis who worked on reception was so friendly and went out of his way to give us recommendations. The location is perfect with a 10 minute bus journey to the old town or half an hour walk. We also walked to holyrood park which only took 20 minutes. For a hotel with free parking and in such a good location I would highly recommend.

We were greeted by a large overflowing cigarette butt holder alongside the front steps and check-in took twenty minutes as the receptionist, despite being very courteous, was not capable of dealing with the five pairs of guests arriving at the check-in time with Fawlty Towers being referred to by one couple! Our room in the attic was not what was expected and unheated. The poorly fitting sash windows covered by curtains which most probably were new thirty years ago and not falling apart then were stuck partially open. The number for night service remained unanswered and the heating was not repaired as promised the following day. A fan heater had to be requested as none had been provided. The hot water eventually arrived in the en-suite basin after three-four minutes minimum of waiting. The young Scottish front of house gentleman at breakfast despite being courteous and very helpful struggled to cope with incorrect breakfast orders from kitchen staff despite pre-ordering the meals the previous evening. It makes little sense as to how that is possible? From our experience- which may well be different to others-the new owner of the Guest House has much to do in order to maintain its previous Reviewer ratings. We will return to Edinburgh as we enjoyed what this unique city has to offer and the very approachable and helpful locals. We will not, however, even consider this property. Expedia have not shown due diligence with reference to this listing

Really good location for getting in and out of Edinburgh. Clean, big rooms and attentive staff. Maybe needs a bit of updating in terms of decor but can't fault it otherwise.

Thos is a real character property - if you want immaculate and regularly refurbed, it's not for you. However, if you like a grand drawing room to relax in, beautiful Victorian original architectural features, high ceilings and extremely comfy beds, it is. Lewis, the house manager, is great, and will help you make the most of your stay. You're a 25 minute walk from the centre, but there are regular busses, and the free carparking is the upside.

This was not a luxury property. We received 1 terry cloth towel, each, and that was the only towel we received during our 3 day stay. Even when our room was serviced, we didn't receive fresh towels, or a hand towel or face cloth. The bathtub faucet was broken and the room was hot during the entire stay. Staff was OK, but certainly didn't go out of their way to make our stay memorable. I wouldn't recommend

Ideal positioning, great transport links which complemented very good public transport. Hotel was excellent, breakfast choice and service was very good Rooms were a good size with a large en-suite. My only gripe and one that would stop me returning is the fact that the mattress was incredibly firm to the point of being uncomfortable. Obviously this is my preference and may not bother others.
