Wonderful

The staff and dining options were AMAZING! The hotel had plenty of easily accessed parking, and our dtay was delightful. The hotel is not as close to downtown Edinburgh as would be preferred if you are planning on shopping there, but there is a bus directly outside the hotel, which is an easy option for getting there, and honestly, i think the area is quieter for not being right in downtown.
First time we've stayed at a Dakota Hotel, will definitely be making a return visit. Excellent customer service, fabulous food and a convenient location.
The reason we booked was location to airport and shuttle service, however they don’t offer shuttle services on the weekend. The snarky check in girl let me know that it was on the website but I needed to click through several pages to find it. What?!?
This was a great place to stay! They changed our room to accommodate my husband's disabilities. The breakfast was good (very Scottish) and the parking was easy.
Excellent location outside the centre with easy access to Edinburgh Airport EDI and convenient pre-book shuttle during the week. The bus stop is also steps away from the front door. Simple elegance in foyer, dining room and lounge. George is a mixologist extraordinaire and maintains exceptional service standards for the serving staff. Breakfast buffet and al a carte options are delectable. Looking forward my next visit to Edinburgh and otherUK Dakota Hotels.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The entrance is nice. The room was too dark so could not apply make up easy. The bed was not the comfiest. No slippers or gown. We have had slippers in other dakota hotels. Molton brown wash items were lovely. Shower was great. Breckfast was too expensive. The gym was very small but enough in there.
The blinds were veey dusty in the room. Taking 50 deposit is annoying this shoukd only be a pre authorisation not something that had to be paid back. The area was nice. Queensferey town is cute and a short walk away.Tesco just a few steps away.
This hotel was beautiful. Wonderfully designed, rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, staff was friendly and helpful, dinner in the restaurant was fantastic, and only 15mins drive to the airport.
We had an absolutely beautiful stay at this hotel! The friendly staff went above and beyond, holding our baggage, bringing it to our room, and even booking a taxi for our early departure. While it's an hour commute to the city center, the bus service runs every 20 minutes, making it easy to get around. Excellent experience overall!
I just like the warm vibes you get right when you walk in the door . The rooms were clean and cozy . The front desk people were very helpful
and polite .

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Actually quite disappointing
I was surprised to find that my room did not have a fridge, as its a std in most hotel rooms worldwide.
Someone had obviously burnt the desk in the room in a few places ( room120) and it hasn't been repaired. And lastly there was no one on duty at reception to check out, after waiting 10 mins (3:30am) I had to just leave my key
Staff were so helpful and friendly .Room was very comfortable with a great shower in the bathroom .We were getting an early morning flight from Edinburgh airport ,so the receptionist very kindly offered to arrange a wake up call for us .
We had a really delicious meal in the restaurant the night before we were due to fly.The food and service could not have been any better .
The only negative comment I can think of is that there was a little bit of dust in our bedroom and also on the bathroom shelf .
Beautiful ambience inside the lobby. Nice short walk down to the Harbor which has cute shops and restaurants. Hotel room was clean, comfy, and had a nice assortment of coffee/tea and snacks. We
Very enjoyable, good food, helpful staff, great shuttle from the airport. Definitely will choose again. Room was minimally lit ( eco positive) and control of lighting a little tricky to work out. This contributed to not being able to work out how to use the espresso machine!
This a very nice Hotel. The staff, the restaurant / bar was superb. Complimentary breakfast was a plus. We chose this location because it was close to the airport, and mid-point to the historic sites we wanted to visit. We also chose it because of the on-site secure parking and on-site dining facilities. Note: the hotel does NOT supply bath wash cloths. Bring a loofa !
