Great hotel with lovely rooms and a fantastic restaurant and bar. Staff are attentive and whole hotel is extremely clean. Location is not ideal, definitely need car/taxi. More

Was put into this hotel by airline after plane was cancelled so didn't expect much. However it's like no where else I have stayed, spotless, lovely staff, nice food, and bar. The decor is unique. More

What looks like an office block from the outside is actually a hotel that exhibits great service and friendliness from the staff. The dining area was atmospheric and the food very good and well priced. The rooms are well designed and have some very good space saving elements and a good shower. However, the bed was the most uncomfortable that... More

Great example of how a hotel in a somewhat out of the way location can work well. Great "Lounge feel" design is complimented by staff that really seem to enjoy their jobs. Free pickup in fancy van from airport.... driver took the time to take us on small detour to show the pubs en restaurants in south queens ferry before... More

Yesterday was my husbands birthday and as usual we celebrate at the grill restaurant in the Dakota. The meal was very enjoyable and the staff were excellent and attentive. We have known Ewan Grant for quite some time and he always makes time to stop and chat to us. There are very few restaurants that have the personal touch nowadays... More

Yet again we find pleasant helpful staff at check in. Restaurant food was as always delicious with great choice. My liver was cooked to perfection and possibly the best ever tasted. We had a longer wait for our dessert course which on commenting about we were offered a complimentary drink. Well done Dakota for being consistent which some hotels sadly... More

This hotel is so different than any other hotel I have stayed. When you walk through the entrance you experience a very nice atmosphere. The decor is excellent, with a nice solid fuel burning fire between the reception area and the restaurant area. The location is a bit isolated at first but it is very close to edinburgh airport and... More

Good lighting in room despite dark interior of hotel. Wifi free.The staff couldn't have been more helpful. Breakfast was excellent and wine from bar was delicious and reasonably... More
