The perfect lowkey stay before my flight out of EDI the next morning. When my transfer failed to arrive and I couldn’t get an Uber, the front desk staff kindly arranged a last minute shuttle for me to the airport and I was so thankful. Room was clean and the hotel is located just a block from a Tesco for any snacks/conveniences you may need.

Cozy, clean and well appointed room, and surprisingly good food and wine at the grill. The airport transfer service was the cherry on top which made this a perfect place to stay overnight before we caught a morning flight.

Il y a un supermarché juste à 3 minutes à pied. Idéal pour un retour d’Edinburgh en bus pour prendre l’avion le lendemain. Il y a je crois, une navette possible à partir de 6 hr le matin seulement…

Staff was excellent. Shuttle service and the clean, spacious rooms makes the Dakota my default stay when I’m traveling through Edinburgh.

Newer construction beautiful building with larger modern rooms, temperature control and the best shower experienced compared to all others over 6 locations that we stayed in Scotland. We called ahead and were able to store some luggage prior to arrival. We took a luggage limited flight to Isle of Man. Very grateful for the hotel accommodating this request. Located near grocery store. Short walk to old Queensferry. Beautiful area and a nice stroll for fish and chips or an ice cream. Lobby is comfortable and relaxing with many seats available. Airport shuttle convenient and professional. Be sure to book transport in advance as shuttle is popular with guests.

Very friendly helpful reception staff. The hotel however is extremely dark inside and quite dangerous for partially sighted people.

We loved this hotel—dark & moody elegant lobby/room/bathroom; comfortable bed. Very quiet and free shuttle to the airport. Be aware there is no airport shuttle on the weekend and cab fare from the airport is $50.

We enjoyed everything about the hotel. The only thing that we did not like is that it it's classified as an airport hotel but it is quite a distance from the Edinburgh airport. They offer a shuttle, but it fills up and was hard to book for our flight.

Great hotel that gathers you up from the outside world and helps you to switch off. Nice presented rooms and very reasonably priced given the location. Transport is easy into the city centre. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff.

What a fabulous hotel, we visited for my husbands 50th Birthday it was a surprise, I had great communication before we went including booking the shuttle and a table for dinner. We were given a complimentary upgrade which totally made the stay and a lovely note and chocolate left from Brooke. We spent the evening in the hotel and had a gorgeous dinner, highly recommend the pork loin! Highly recommend this hotel and would love to come back, great communication, from booking, the lovely bar staff, our server at dinner till we left on the shuttle thanks to everyone for a lovely stay.

Everything was quite wonderful - exceeded our expectations. The only glitch was with the taxi we had requested for 3:30 am. I even followed up a couple days beforehand to confirm and rec'd an email confirmation yet come that morning there was no record of the reservation. Fortunately the gentleman on duty was able to get us in a taxi that was coming for another guest (who was amenable to our joining them) so we made our flight. The night manager was extremely helpful and personable.

They allowed us to check in early. We were traveling internationally and appreciated to check in early to freshen up prior to dinner. Friendly staff, clean, comfortable. Quick walk to local markets and historical downtown.
