Dakota Edinburgh

The hotel has an amazing ambience, and the rooms are very different from other hotels, but they are beautifully decorated.

Staff very friendly, though not very knowledgeable about surrounding restaurants. the rather large parking lot can get crowded on a Saturday evening, but there is plenty of street parking nearby. There is a large Tesco the next building over. The cleaning staff was friendly and polite. Not a very exciting part of town, but close to major intersections. A 20 minute walk down to the main road by the water. Plenty of electric sockets and a few USB/USB-C plugs.

Shuttle service was incredibly fast and driver was super helpful with getting me from the arrivals to the hotel as I had not stayed in this area before. Upon arrival at the hotel, I was quickly checked in, and given card to my room. The decor, and open fire in the lobby is great welcome, having left -3 outside. My double room was warm, clean and comfortable. The rainfall shower was great, and loads of tv options as Sky is provided. The wi-fi can be little hit and miss but saw no great issue for me, given I was working some days from my room. It was super quiet and very spacious. Transport wise, there are several bus stops which can get you to the City Centre, just prep your time wise and more than enough "X" buses turn up for when you need one. I worked from the lobby on several days and it was still very quiet, staff in the restaurant very kind and checking if more caffeine was needed. Plenty of sockets and seemed the place to be for meetings but again without loudness or interference. Loved the decor in the lobby and the christmas decs, were a lovely touch! There is a HUGE supermarket on your doorstep too should you need it. One thing throughout my entire stay was how helpful and friendly everyone was! I was able to get the shuttle for my departure but honestly, would've happily have stayed a few more nights.

Sumptuous, comfortable, beautiful design with lots of details and hugh quality. The staff were all excellent- professional and knowledgeable. Breakfast was extensive and with a lot of variety including a warm Breakfast menu.

My partner and I visit specifically for our birthday and anniversary celebrations. The hotel is always clean and set to a high standard. With welcoming staff at reception, personalised and warm in its atmosphere.
