The Dakota Hotel was conveniently located for a 1 night stay in Edinburgh before we headed out to St. Andrews for a golf trip. The rate was very reasonable and the food & service was good .I will not hesitate to return to this hotel on my next visit to Edinburgh

Great hotel. It has become my go-to for work trips. Only complaint is the gym doesnt open until 7am, so if you need to get onto the city, you cannot work out on the morning. Room could benefit from a coat hook, but overall a very good place to stay.
