Edinburgh and Lothian hotel rooms a the Independent

"This is my first time at a hostel and I must say, I wouldn't have had a better experience. This place is right in the heart of everything just steps of the Royal Mile. Rhe staff was super helpful, the vibe was perfect. I will absolutely come back!"

"Good breakfast choices"

"The people working there were SUPER friendly and professional... I asked them for directions and reservations to restaurants and taxi to go to the airport and every time they were spot on. The food is served at the bar next to them and it was buffet style very fresh and delicious. "

"I really love the Dakota as it has a lovely boutique feel, great lounge area to relax in. The rooms are very nice and stylish with plenty room and comfortable beds. The staff are very nice. My first choice when heading to Edinburgh, especially when visiting the outlets in Livingston. "

"Clean rooms, convenient for early morning flights. Nice staff."

"Modern features, great breakfast, comfortable bed Close to the Grass Market area"

"Good location, transport"

"Great location and facilities however poor sleep quality which should be highlighted. This is ok if you are out all night and return to the hotel at 3 am "

"Room with kitchen area was nice, although just combined microwave / oven / grill. However with all crammed into relatively small room with head end of bed next to fridge with hum of the pump was not ideal. Not sure if would get room with kitchen again unless really needed… rather than nice to have…"
