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

I booked this hotel for its location and facilities for a 24hr busines meeting, and was very happy with the service. Although from outside it looks like a bizarre building in an even more bizarre location, upon entering, its incredibly stylish and comfortable. Meeting facilities were excellent with helpful staff. Rooms were good quality with nice furnishings and lovely huge... More

I'm rather torn on this review as I only just realised it was a 3* property and so based off that its great. Everything is beautifully designed and the reception area is lovely with lots of comfortable sofas to wait for people, sit and read, have a drink etc. It's very luxurious and the restaurant is also very good.
