I booked this hotel on the strength of reviews that I had read regarding how friendly and inviting this place was, I must have booked into the wrong place!! There is absolutely nothing friendly or inviting about the staff who I dealt with. No sign of complimentary Sherry or shortcake while booking in (Not that I like either by the... More

Everything about our stay was perfect. The staff were friendly and very obliging. The room was lovely, spotlessly clean and the beds very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and we found the location of the hotel perfect for getting into Edinburgh either on foot or by bus. We would highly recommend.

A verry good hotel with serviceminded emploees. The rooms is beautiful. Not that far from Edinburgh downtown center with alot of restaurangs and shops. The bus stops right outside the hotel, but we walked to downtown, took just around 25 minuts (no stress). The onely thing we can say that isn't superpositive is that the windows are verry big and...

Thank you so much for your review, I am glad to hear you found us to be in an excellent location. We are located 1.5 miles from the high street and on a sunny day it is a lovely walk in to town or you could get one of the frequent buses from directly across the hotel. We are also... More

I stayed here while on business at the King's Buildings and it was a nice walk to the conference. I stayed in the garden lodge and absolutely loved it. However, my colleagues stayed in the main building and were not nearly as impressed with this hotel. Breakfast was lovely. It is a bit far from downtown, but the bus is... More

Awesome break with my wife at Kildonan Lodge. Greeted by the friendly staff who offered to take out bags up to our room for us which was a nice touch. As my wife sank in to the spa bath I docked my iphone (and it charged :) ) and chilled out on the four poster bed while sipping the complementary... More

We stayed here for the Rugby weekend and had a wonderful time. Rooms were comfortable and staff very helpful. The breakfasts were all freshly cooked and very tasty. We will return on our next visit

We have stayed at the Kildonan Lodge a few times in the past couple of years for short weekend breaks to Edinburgh. The hotel is traditionally furnished to a high standard and the rooms are elegant and comfortable, with nice touches such as DAB radios and complimentary sherry and shortbread to sample. The staff have always been friendly and helpful... More
