This was a birthday treat from my son and his wife. We had never stayed here before, but will go back. Rooms clean and very comfortable, food was fabulous, and the staff were lovely. What a treat.My son and his wife were going back this week to stay as they were flying off on holiday, from Edinburgh airport. It's so... More

Having stayed at the Dakota in Glasgow before and being unable to find a room in Edinburgh city centre, we decided to book Dakota Edinburgh. We loved our previous stay and this was no different. The staff were excellent and although we had a lengthy delay with getting into our room, the staff were very helpful in updating us and... More

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at the Dakota in Edinburgh. The outside the hotel looks like a big shinny cube, that wouldn’t look out of pace in a New York Skyline, with nothing but the name being obvious on the building. Then entering through the glass sliding doors, followed by closed curved curtains you enter into an... More

I booked the Dakota through late rooms and got a deal for £79. This was about the same price as I was quoted for a travelodge. The Dakota however is quite some way from a travelodge. On the day I arrived the weather was horrendous and from the car park, the hotel resembled something from a Star Trek film, with... More

We found the hotel easily. The room was lovely we both liked the decor. The staff were very polite and attentive. The meal was excellent we enjoyed the seafood and home made ice cream. The wine, a Rioja, was of a high quality. We watched the sunrise over the Forth Bridge from our room. We are returning in June.

We were a party of 6 cyclists, who, having completed an intensive ride were looking for somewhere to relax, change, eat, drink and sleep before hitting the motorway home. Great location (I had views of the Forth Railway Bridge from my room), and faultless service; even to the point of making it easy to store the bikes indoors overnight. The... More

This is a lovely trendy Boutique Hotel. Value for Money. Excellent restaurant. Superb staff and service. Rooms are lovely especially if you get a room over looking the Forth Bridges. A short walk to South Queensferry which has couple nice coffee shops and places to eat. Not far from a Rail Station.

Brilliant stay at Dakota, very relaxing indeed. Brilliant value for money, comfortable, spacious - not a fault. Although Dakota isn't in the city centre, the nearby train station provides the necessary means for travel etc. Will definitely be back soon. Keep up the good work troops..:)

We spent one night at the Dakota Edinburgh. They seem to have got everything right. It smells nice, it's spotless. Excellent welcome. Modern but not cold or soleless. Very efficient. All staff well trained, polite and helpful and very smartly dressed - they took pride in what they were doing. So far so good and dinner was equally pleasurable. The... More

Our 2 night stay at the Dakota Edinburgh was a very relaxing, comfortable, quiet and thoroughly enjoyable stay. The room which me and my partner stayed in was lovely. A family member had bought us a one night stay with evening meal and breakfast in the morning. We liked the Dakota so much that we stayed another night. When we... More
