My stay at Dakota Hotel in Leeds was very good, with a comfortable and well-appointed room that met my expectations. However, the lack of on-site parking is a notable downside. The nearest parking option, QPark, is conveniently close, but the 15-minute journey to reach it is a minor inconvenience. Additionally, the fact that parking is chargeable adds to the overall cost of the stay. Despite the parking situation, the positive aspects of the hotel, including the quality of the room and the overall experience, contribute to a satisfactory stay.Noteworthy details: no onsite parking

Another hotel that spends more on the decor than on the bed, yeah i love a nespresso machine and a nice rain shower, but its all pointless if the bed islike sleeping at your Nans house. Rubbish!

We didn't stay in the hotel but just called in for a few drinks and a bar meal. I've been a few times and every time the atmosphere is really relaxing and the food and drinks are fabulous.I must say every time we have been there, the staff and service have impeccable. They are always polite, chatty and very attentive. A must if you want to go for some after work drinks and a bit to eat.

What a gorgeous hotel. Rooms were very comfortable. The shower was amazing.For a city centre hotel, it was incredibly quiet.Lovely lighting throughout, couldn't be a better location for bars and restaurants.

We booked valet parking weeks in advance to be told on the night that they were fully booked. Took us hours to get parked in their recommended car park. Then when we finally got in the room the blinds were broken and unable to close and the room wasn't particularly clean. Probably one of the worse hotels I've stayed in when visiting Leeds.

Apparently the Dakota has five stars.. there's no gym, no pool and the service is good without being especially impressive. In fact during our stay we experienced what can only be described as bad or poor service. A mix up with a booking left us enjoying a complimentary drink in the lobby of the hotel rather than in their bar area.It's nicely furnished if a little bland for my tastes.The rooms are certainly clean and decorated to a high specification but overall there was nothing impressive or memorable.A couple of specifics.. everyone wants the Wifi details on arrival but there's no explanation or welcome card for this.Breakfast is finished by 10:30.. that's quite early in my view.There's a sizeable charge for a late check out.We ate in the restaurant and overall service was very good and the food was reasonable without being impressive. I had a decent enough steak with a rather limp and dejected looking salad.Overall, a smart hotel with a very central location which is clearly run to maximise profits by a shrewd business team, but with no attention to making the guest experience remarkable in any way.Luxurious, absolutely not. Functional and adequate for this "price point"- absolutely.

I visited the restaurant at Dakota and everything about it was excellent. The food was outstanding, and the service from the staff was abive and beyond - nothing was too much trouble. We were a large booking of 16, and everything was perfect. Would highly recommend ?

I genuinely love this hotel. The decor, the lighting, the service, basically everything. It's also very handy that they have an amazing cocktail bar, so you don't even need to out for a great evening.Rooms: Awesome decor in the rooms, and more importantly, amazing shower.Walkability: It's like a 7min walk from the station and very central to Leeds City

We went to the restaurant, the food was delicious. We also got to have a look at two empty rooms which looked very good. Dakota is a few minutes walk from the train station and very easy to get to as the area is pedestrianised.

Exceptional hotel in the centre of Leeds. Brilliant staff and great customer service. Thanks especially to Mike on reception, Will and Jayden. Excellent food and beverage options and service. Rooms are to a very high standard as you would expect - but also cosy and welcoming with thoughtful touches. Always a great experience. Thank you very much. Will definitely be back.

I was expecting good things regarding the Dakota and wasn't disappointed. The room was large, modern, and clean. Staff are great , the location is excellent and the breakfast was good . I would recommend and definitely stay again next time I am in Leeds.
