Southampton, United Kingdom2 contributions
What a fantastic stay ! Staying at this amazing hotel again it really is one of the best we’ve ever been to. I planned to propose to my girlfriend and had spoken to the hotel a few days before asking if there was any chance of upgrading the room. Unbeknown to us when we then entered the room they had put us in the best suite in the hotel, complete with complimentary champagne. All the rooms are so well appointed and luxurious but this one was another level. Just stunning. The staff are all genuine, friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. They make you feel special and further enhance the experience. The bar is modern with a huge range of drinks.The restaurant is relaxed with amazing food and service. Thank you Dakota Leeds for making this the most amazing stay ever. Getting engaged is a special moment and you made it something we will remember forever. We are already planning our next stay and having experienced all that the Dakota is really can’t imagine staying anywhere else. As a side note, whilst the hotel knew we were getting engaged and so staff were aware I have to say that we have felt equally well looked after whenever we have stayed here or their Manchester hotel. They go out of their way to make this so much more than a night in a hotel. Having stayed in many hotels in this country and around the world this is one that I know I will keep coming back to when I want a special hotel break. Thank you for making our engagement something truly special.

We stayed using the lazy Sunday package, which was great value for money. The hotel was lovely. The room was clean and well decorated, the bed was comfy, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food and drinks in the restaurant and bar were amazing. I would highly recommend.

We stayed as a Mother’s Day and birthday treat, and had a junior suite. The Sunday lunch was really good, great service too. The room was just beautiful and luxurious, the bed was super comfy. The mini bar was well stocked too. Breakfast was nice, the sausages were a bit burnt, and the service wasn’t as good as the Sunday lunch. I had to ask for toast and extra tea. Reception staff were all welcoming and friendly. The hotel has a really nice vibe. Was first time staying at Dakota, and would definitely return. Thanks for a lovely stay!

After a stay at the Dakota I felt the need to let people know about the excellent customer service they provide, on arrival the concierge Dave took our car away to their parking facility while the receptionist Gabby took our details which she did in a friendly efficient manner, didn't get to meet the house keeping staff but the room was spotless and attention payed to detail, we decided to dine out that night but had breakfast the following morning where we was greeted by Alister who was friendly and informative, Conner took our order and made a point of asking if we had any allergies,, breakfast was of very good quality and service was excellent, reception staff on check out were again friendly and efficient, by the time we checked out which didn't take long, Dave the concierge had retrieved our car and had it waiting at the door for us, I can't praise the members of staff enough they are excellent hospitality ambassadors, if your looking for a stay in Leeds I would highly recommend the Dakota for a good night's sleep and customer service

Such a lovely stay at Dakota hotel in Leeds. Came up to visit our daughter at UoL. It is excellently located within a 3 minute walk to the station with all amenities close by - restaurants, cafes and shops. The hotel, although a little dark but that’s the style, is extremely chic with a lovely, comfortable bar area and attentive waiter. The rooms are really lovely, very stylish, spacious and clean. We had room 905 which had a good view over the city too. The shower was excellent and the superking bed was extremely comfortable. Only comment to make was that the toilet is surprisingly too low and fresh milk left in the fridge for beverages would be nice. Otherwise an excellent stay and we’ve booked to stay again for our daughter’s graduation in July.

Stunning hotel - Came for an overnight stay for business with colleagues. The hotel is beautifully decorated. It is dark but I like that. All staff that i encountered were friendly and engaging - something that we don't see every day in hospitality. Shout outs to Hollie on reception who checked us in, really friendly and a perfect welcome. Eleanor in the bar was again friendly and knowledgable. When she had to move us due to a booking coming in it was handled well, professional and polite. Jayden our server at dinner was really attentive in everything he did.
