Wonderful

Clean place. Not close to the heart of Edinburgh but an easy drive in. Close local restaurants and nice to be out of the huddle and bustle in the evening time. Very close to the airport. Weird WiFi situation where you have to have the TV on to access the WiFi, but they said they would be updating that soon.
The Dakota Edinburgh is a fine and classy establishment. We enjoyed a delicious meal at the grill, and enjoyed swift service from the staff. We were able to drop off our luggage in the morning before check-in, and when we checked in later, they had kindly placed our bags in our room. The room had every amenity we needed and was comfortable and stylish. I would definitely stay there again.
Really clean and tidy room, bed comfortable enough for me and my partner. I’d recommend to turn the towel rail on before having a shower, it warmed the bathroom nicely
Staff was great and I appreciated their suggestions for returning our car rental the following day, getting a reservation to eat, allowing me to pay in cash and by card (we were leaving the UK the following day).
We stayed at the Dakota Edinburgh the night before our flight. This hotel is full of surprises, all of them very good. The room was very comfortable, spacious, and well cared for. The lobby is beautiful and relaxing, including a very sweet dog statue. The bar is excellent, great cocktails and snacks. The restaurant was superb, excellent food and very professional and knowledgeable staff. We would absolutely stay there again!
