Disappointed
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.
