Stayed at the Dakota in Leeds on many occasions, it would always be our first choice. Our room was immaculate, quiet, couldn't fault it. We were celebrating my husband's birthday, biscuits and other snacks were left in the room with a handwritten card which we thought was a lovely gesture. The breakfast, we opted for the full English was delicious and the eggs Benedict on our second morning were spot on! The staff are always friendly. We can't wait to come back!

This was the last of 4 hotels we stayed in on our trip and the best.
We were here 3 nights, staff were lovely and very helpful.
The room was a comfortable nest, very clean, well appointed, and quiet (on the top floor).
We ate in the Grill, Limited menu but food was very good.
Bar very chic and cool.
Only comment would be for the price it would be nice to have feather duvets.

The reception staff were very courteous, the complimentary mulled cider & mince pies were a lovely touch for Xmas period. The classic room size was far bigger than expected & the bathroom/ shower was lovely. Leeds centre is pretty compact but the hotel is so close to the station which was great to leave our bag with them ahead of time & also before we left for our train.

The receptionist was lovely, very helpful and welcoming. Beautiful room, great facilities, Nespresso machine (an essential for caffeine addicts like me!), strong hans gröher shower, Molton Brown toiletries, big TV, lots of mirrors, effective air conditioning and right in the centre of Leeds. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay, excellent service and staff.

Great service as always. We dine here and have drinks quite often however this time it was for my birthday. Receptionist was kind enough to offer early check (at a cost) which is fine as it was nearly 3 hours before the usual check in, so that the room could be decorated. Room was clean and spacious, again room service staff were excellent.

Fantastic hotel and room

Excellent trip. Staff were all friendly and chatty. A couple of niggles, but nothing that affected our stay. We will be back again and will stay here again to visit our daughter. Special mention to Dave, the Head concierge who we chatted to each day and was really helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

Heaven

From the moment we stepped in and were greeted by the doorman it was the best stay. We left our bag as we arrived early. On returning to the hotel we were checked in and given our key and we enjoyed a drink in the bar first. The room was upgraded for my husband's birthday and it was beautifully adorned with lots of balloons and a lovely message with chocolates from the manager. Such a lovely gesture to be so spoilt. The bed was huge and so comfortable. The sofa was really comfy to watch TV. The complimentary mini bar was a lovely touch. My husband loves a bath and it was huge even for him at 6 foot tall. Had the best night's sleep with no noise and total darkness with blackout curtains. In the morning we managed to enjoy sitting out on the balcony in the sunshine before sadly having to leave. David on reception went above and beyond to help me out also which was so generous. It isn't our first stay at Dakota and won't be our last.

Love this centrally located hotel. Very trendy vibe. However, it is very dark from a lighting and decor point of view so it’s not to everyone’s taste. Lovely appointed bedrooms.

Arrived very early in the morning and the hotel stored our luggage as we wouldn't be back until after 10.30pm. Bags were in our room waiting when we got back. Friendly check in staff and concierge. beds are the best hotel beds I've slept in. Will definitely be back.

Overpriced and basic

We had an amazing weekend and the location is amazing, however for the cost compared to other hotels I wasn’t overly amazed, and I feel I have stopped in nicer hotels with more to offer in the rooms, such at tea coffee selection, there was no mini fridge in the room and honestly it was very basic.

The hotel is fabulous and I love it but the service at the bar on an evening and in the morning the cleaner was incredibly rude! Not what you expect when you have paid to stay in a suite.
