Disappointing
The hotel was beautiful. The burger I had was one of the best I ever had.
I had booked the hotel because it offered free shuttle to the airport. That didn't happen. I ended up paying close to $125 for taxi to and from the airport. I had mentioned this to the short blonde girl at the desk, that it was false advertising, she didn't care. She had bit of an attitude. I asked if she was going to pay for my taxi, she basically ignored the question and asked if there was anything else she could do. I asked again, she said she couldn't. I then suggested maybe a meal voucher for the restaurant, she couldn't do that either. I have noticed since returning home they have changed the wording in their listing, but I did find this. The complimentary airport shuttle operates on a restricted schedule from October to March, running Monday to Friday between 9am and 2pm. This wasn't in the booking when I originally booked my reservations. I also found out that the day I stayed the price of the same room I had went down about $30. Of course I couldn't change it because it was non-refundable. I am very disappointed in the treatment I received, by the girl at the front desk. I planned this trip almost a half a year out and have a budget. I really felt like some compensation should have been given especially since I asked about booking the shuttle a head of time. Beautiful Hotel, needs to work on customer service and not trying to rip people off.

Beautiful, stately decor once you find the entry door. It’s really lovely inside and the staff are kind. It’s also very close to a Tesco

A modern, clean hotel not far from EDI, although, depending on traffic, can be a bit hairy to get there.
The food was far too expensive for what you get. The mains are just the main. Add a vegetable like broccoli and pay an extra 8 pounds. The monkfish was 35 pounds. The margarita came is what seemed to be a tiny martini glass and I spent about 13 pounds on this tiny drink. (Really, Dakota? Has anyone that determines the portions and prices ever been somewhere where margaritas are the norm?)

This was a wonderful hotel stay. We stayed here twice on our Edinburgh visit and loved it. We chose the location in the town of Queensferry over airport hotels twenty minutes away. The town is charming with a fantastic view of both photos and is a short walk from the hotel. The room and beds were comfortable and the shower and bathroom were perfect. But what really stood out besides a great room, very good dinner menu and location was the staff at the hotel——warm , welcoming and helpful. The huge test was that we left a bag containing jewelry, glasses and other items after us and the Dakota mailed the bag to us in the USA once we notified them. The hotel staff were beyond helpful and communicative.
Nothing!

Convenient location, clean and comfortable
I was told my room would be ready at 3pm so we arrived at 3 and our room was not ready yet so we had to wait in the lobby for over 20 minutes for them to find a room for us.

Room was decorated well and spacious. The lobby was extremely comfortable, not feeling large or a hotel lobby.
A bit far from the Edinburgh airport.

Great bed and linens. We had a handicap room which was a bit strange but overall not a big deal. The airport shuttle was very helpful!

Having an A/C was nice compared to other hotels. Everything was super clean.
I personally like softer beds, and the comforter on the bed was way too heavy.

Beautiful hotel and I chose it because it was close to the airport with a free shuttle.
The restaurant and bar lacked the experience to be run correctly. Just skip that area. Unless you are ordering a beer that they can pour. Lovely staff just not trained in the area they are working. My food was beyond salty. Completely inedible and I ordered a dirty martini it was warm but glass chilled with no olives and served in a cordial glass. Total miss!
