Nice one night stay by Edinburgh airport.

Excellent location for a morning flight out of Edinburgh. Used the free shuttle to the airport, which was perfect. Very comfortable bed and room. Nice restaurant/bar and breakfast available for purchase, although we didn't use that. Extremely friendly staff.

We stayed at 5 different hotels on our 10 day cross-country trip to Scotland. The Dakota was our favorite by far!! It was attractive and cozy, great food at the restaurant, very clean, beds were actually very comfortable, and the room was spacious enough to set out our suitcases and things to draw from. Would definitely stay there again if we ever make it back to Scotland!! ❤️

Friendly staff, close to a Tesco Center and bus stop. We took a shuttle to the airport when leaving and upon arriving my wife had left her shoulder bag in the lobby. The young man driver went back (15 minutes) to retrieve it and brought it back to the airport....Excellent Service!

Everything was very nice. The staff was helpful. I arrived early and left to take a tour. When I arrived back my luggage was in my room waiting for me. The throw blanket on the bed was a nice touch and the room was well appointed. The smoked salmon and eggs were delicious at breakfast.

Tired so pricey

This could be a great hotel and we would stay again but at the prices charged for the rooms everything has to be first class - and it’s not. There are signs of wear and tear everywhere. Our room door looked like it had been broken into at some point and poorly repaired. The paintwork has scuff marks and the shower leaked across the bathroom floor ( yes the door was closed properly). Public spaces seemed ok but a bit tired. The staff are fantastic.
