Not bad, but not good.
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.

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.
