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.

Largely excellent but very overworked front desk staff - one person for check-in and concierge. Very helpful and friendly but needed to wait 10 minutes to ask a simple question. Well lit rooms but hotel surprisingly dark in hallways. Great shower and bath sheets. Good size bed but very squeaky mattress well past its best before date. Town is quaint but not particularly walkable from hotel.
