We stayed at the Dakota Edinburgh the night before our flight. This hotel is full of surprises, all of them very good. The room was very comfortable, spacious, and well cared for. The lobby is beautiful and relaxing, including a very sweet dog statue. The bar is excellent, great cocktails and snacks. The restaurant was superb, excellent food and very professional and knowledgeable staff. We would absolutely stay there again!

Lovely hotel in a quiet suburb of Edinburgh. Right behind a Tesco for any shopping needs. Enjoyed our night’s stay. We were very disappointed with the lack of airport shuttle service provided to us. We phoned to book an airport shuttle for 7:00 p.m. only to be told they had stopped running that day at 6:00 p.m. This was after several attempts during the day to get someone to answer the reception desk so that we could book earlier. The cost to the hotel by taxi was £30. We then went to book another shuttle service for the next day for 8:30 a.m. and there was one we could get for 7:00 a.m. or 11:45 a.m. Therefore we had to get another taxi to the airport, again £30. Extremely expensive. We verbally told the reception staff our displeasure in their advertised airport shuttle service. We had our evening meal at the Dakota Bar and Grill, delicious meal, atmosphere and enjoyed the waitstaff.

The Dakota Edinburgh was clean, comfortable and cozy. The plus is that it was next to a grocery store for other items, and next to a bus stop for easy access to Edinburgh. The restaurant was excellent as well. Everyone was very friendly and I would stay again.

Staff were so nice and friendly, really accommodating. We dined at the grill- probably one of the best meals we’ve had in Scotland. The beds were really comfy and we had a large room. Really enjoyed our brief stay.
