Our hosts were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. The property is very clean and well furnished. Although we had a small double room, it still met our needs and didn’t feel cramped. The bed is one of the comfiest I have ever slept in. Breakfast was generous and well cooked and set us up for the day. Public transport is plentiful and regular enough that we didn’t use our car again once we had arrived.

Wonderful original features still in the house. Cornice, molding, doors, fireplaces, windows etc. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfast on a pre-order system so it's almost ready when you get downstairs. Freshly cooked, hot and plentiful. They allow you to order takeaway in as they no longer provide a dinner service. Plenty of soft and alcoholic drinks available to purchase. A small decanter of sherry is provided in the room. Along with good sized towels, hairdryer and best of all an iron and board if you need to smarten things up from your case. Although there are 14 rooms we found it quiet inside the hotel. A good location if you want to stay a bit further out of the city centre as prices have rocketed in town since we visited 2 years ago. Fantastic bus service ( a stop almost outside and opposite) and capped at £4.80 a day no matter how many journeys or how far you travel .It covers going all the way out to Leith on the new tram. The single fare on a tap and go system with cards is £2 00.

Very warm welcome on arrival. Lovely hotel with beautiful high ceilings and lots of period features. Lovely garden and a spacious car park with CTV for safety. We were in room 6, which was very cosy with a 4 poster bed that was very comfortable and lovely bedding . En suite was spotless. We ordered breakfast the night before for 9.30, and it was freshly cooked to order with lots of choice. Bus stop into the city centre is just across the road so it's very convenient if travelling by bus also near Edinburgh Royal Infirmary . I would definitely highly recommend this hotel and will certainly stay again .

I had an unforgettable experience staying at this hotel with my family. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the spacious building and comfortable room, which provided plenty of space for all of us. The heating kept us cozy throughout our stay, and the view from our room was absolutely stunning. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. My family especially loved the breakfast, it was delicious and offered a variety of options. Another highlight was the free parking space, which was perfect since we had two cars. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

Our stay at the Kildonan Lodge Hotel in Edinburgh was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm of their stunning Victorian building. The elegant architecture and beautifully preserved features made it feel like a step back in time, with the perfect blend of history and modern comfort. A special shout-out to the amazing manager, who went above and beyond to make our stay extraordinary. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made us feel so welcome. She ensured every little detail was perfect and truly made us feel like valued guests. Her dedication is a testament to the exceptional hospitality at Kildonan Lodge. The rooms were spacious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. Breakfast was an absolute highlight—delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared with local ingredients. The hotel’s location was ideal, offering easy access to the vibrant city center while providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. Kildonan Lodge Hotel is more than just a hotel; it’s a home away from home with a touch of luxury. We can’t recommend it highly enough and are already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

The huge advantage of this place is free car parking place they have! the room is okay, the size, the cleanliness comfortable bed. you have a good size bathroom. The breakfast is okay, but it is served to the table, so you get what you get and that's it. Also, it is a waste of time of course.

The greeting from the reception team was so lovely. They gave us details about the area and had a printout with the bus routes and a map. They asked us where we wanted to go and told us the best way to get there, they even took the time to have a chat with us about our trip and recommend places to visit and eat. The waiting area was beautiful and had a cosy fire in the evenings. The location of the hotel was fantastic with multiple buses stopping virtually outside. Not too far from city centre and not too far to get to Portobello beach. The room was as described and came with a kettle and an assortment of tea, coffee and hot chocolate. There was also biscuits, bottled water and milk portions, all of which were replenished each day (along with towels). There was a television, hair dryer and even an iron. The water pressure in the shower was amazing and we had complimentary shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. We will definitely be back :)
