Lewis was so very very good and lovely to deal with. He went above and beyond. The property was lovely & we would stay there again. A couple suggestions. New towels every second day would be great and the shower curtain needed replacing as it was moldy… but all else was great!!

We got off to a great start! Lewis was there, opened the door to welcome us before we even got in the porch. He was kind, extremely courteous, showed us around, made us feel very welcome. Lewis set the tone for our stay, couldn’t have gone better. Room was perfect. Just the right size, clean, very comfortable. Water pressure was less than desirable, but a minor issue. We would gladly stay there again when we come back to Edinburgh. Thanks for making our stay so great, and thank you Lewis! Ben and Nydia Martin

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.
