Guests consistently praise the high standard of service, with many highlighting the helpful and friendly staff. The hotel's restaurant also receives positive comments for its excellent food.

Opted to stay at the Dakota due to its close proximity to Edinburgh airport, Queensferry, parking/airport shuttle, and offered better pricing than hotels closer to the airport. The hotel is modern with a hip vibe and decor, low lighting which took a little getting used to. Rooms were nice, comfortable and energy efficient. Plenty of USB ports and usual amenities - coffee/tea, ironing board, hair dryer, and warm towels! Very good restaurant - continental breakfast buffet included in price but can order full Scottish breakfast, eggs benedict from menu. Dinner was excellent. Dining room is on the small side so definitely recommend booking dinner reservations. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the village of S. Queensferry - sadly didn't have time to get down there as it's supposed to be quite charming with lovely views of the bridges and hotel receptionist advised there were some good restaurants/pubs from which to enjoy the views. We returned our rental car a day early and booked the airport shuttle for our flight home. Couldn't have been a nicer experience. Definitely recommend as an airport hotel option especially if you have a day or so to do some local exploring. Edinburgh is a 25 min taxi ride, and bus stop is 1-2 minute walk.

Very enjoyable, good food, helpful staff, great shuttle from the airport. Definitely will choose again. Room was minimally lit ( eco positive) and control of lighting a little tricky to work out. This contributed to not being able to work out how to use the espresso machine!

The staff was impressive and incredibly helpful. Pro tip- read the small print. The 'shuttle service' and 'free breakfast' only comes with a room that costs more than what we booked through the app. Staff was great none-the-less.

What a nice hotel with easy access to the airport. We took a bus from in front of the hotel to the Royal Mile, which was a wonderful way to get into the old city. Very convenient. The hotel was clean, modern, and quiet. The staff were extraordinarily friendly and helpful.

The staff at this hotel were amazing. They truly care about customer service. The hotel might be a bit boring on the outside but the inside is gorgeous. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was the best I’ve used in Scotland. Felt like home. ❤️❤️ The airport shuttle was the reason we chose this hotel and I’m glad we did.

Perfect place to stay overnight for my flight out of Edinburgh. Walk down to the old town on the Firth for a delightful area.
