Nice hotel in the Queensferry area of Edinburgh.

The Dakota Hotel is a stylish place to stay with a helpful staff. We especially appreciated their shuttle bus to the Edinburgh airport.

The hotel was lovely and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. It was a little bit farther from the airport then I thought, but they have a shuttle service that will take you to the airport. You just need to book your spot in advance. The hotel was within walking distance to the village of South Queensferry and made for a nice afternoon of site seeing.

Nice one night stay by Edinburgh airport.

Excellent location for a morning flight out of Edinburgh. Used the free shuttle to the airport, which was perfect. Very comfortable bed and room. Nice restaurant/bar and breakfast available for purchase, although we didn't use that. Extremely friendly staff.
