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. I... More

Our overnight stay at the hotel was a gift from our nephew and his wife. Friends came with us as they had always wanted to stay there. From the minute we walked in until we left the following day the staff were polite, friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms were spotless. We dined in the Grill Room that evening and... More

We stayed at the Dakota Edinburgh as it was convenient for Edinburgh Zoo. We also had our small dog and toddler with us. The hotel was the top rated dog-friendly hotel on trip advisor. Don't let the dog friendly put you off though if you're not a dog lover. The hotel was spotless, and didn't look at all dog eared.... More
