I love this property, but the cracks are starting show , I don’t normally write bad reviews but I didn’t have great stay this time.
I paid extra for the room for it to be standard with furniture just moved around to make it look better. We decided to stay for breakfast I order Scottish breakfast , rubber sausage ,paper still on the black pudding , no haggis ,see photo,sent it back and went elsewhere. I’ve stayed there a lot over the last year not sure if I’d go back. I don’t know what the bacon was cook in or heated up covered cold oil. I love this hotel but it spoiled it for me.

Poor
The hotel is attractive and clean, and the staff were friendly despite some big disappointments.
The hotel touts itself as being convenient to the airport, states that it "offers complimentary shuttle service to Edinburgh Airport," and came up as a hotel with an airport shuttle when I used the filter in booking.com. I specifically booked the Dakota hotel because I was under the impression that it had a shuttle. We visited in July - high season - and were told that the hotel only offers the shuttle when "there's enough demand." When we asked about a voucher to help cover the expensive cab fare that we ended up having to pay, we were told that the hotel does not provide any such thing. So, basically their so-called airport services are completely arbitrary. The experience immediately cast the hotel in a negative light, and we ended up seeing everything in the hotel as a "luxury veneer" behind which we noticed several penny-pinching tactics that are so typical of a capital investment or private equity firm (e.g., queen-sized mattress on a king-sized bed frame (labeled "king room", cheap cabinetry, broken toilet flusher, small glasses for the cocktails + the worst martini olives we've ever tasted). To me, Scotland has written the book on hospitality, but the Dakota completely and utterly failed to meet the very high standards set even in the most modest inns and restaurants we had visited during our stay. Such a disappointing end to our trip.
