Leonardo Hotels, Pilton hotels

"Upon arrival at the Dakota Hotel, I found it an odd. It was square with black windows all way around it. When you enter the front door, there are theatre curtains to enter into the lobby. The room was small and modern and clean. The food, both breakfast and dinner were very good. The staff is what made my stay really pleasurable. It was my last stay in Scotland before returning home and I found it easy to make it to my day tours by bus and taxi really easy. The staff went out of their way to help me send a package back home and I really appreciated it. Well done!"

"Affordable place close to everything that Edinburgh has to offer. They have cute little events each day of the week. Staff is very friendly and helpful. "

"It was our wedding anniversary and we wanted something close to the Royal Mile and new town. Great location and great hotel. Check-in is was fabulous and the staff are really nice and fun too whilst being professional."

"Clean and comfortable. It was minimalist, but had everything we needed."

"The hotel was conveniently located close to the Royal Mile and the train station. Breakfast was a huge buffet. Relatively good value, considering prices in Edinburgh. "

"We were allowed to check in early as our room was ready. Or we could have stored our luggage. Greatly appreciated. Friendly staff."

"Anastasia greeted us and helped us with parking and luggage and made us feel particularly welcome. Everyone at the hotel is well trained in customer service and helping guests to be comfortable. The location is great, food is fine, would return. "

"Wonderful location and very nice breakfast. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was tidy and comfortable. Very walkable to old town, all the sights and museums, and easy walk to the bus/train as well."

"Like other Point A hotels, the rooms are clean and modern but lack in size for 2 people."
