The stay was very good. Starter in the restaurant was loveky but both main meals a disappointment. My cod loin was wet ,sloppy and not very warm. Unfortunately we are both non complainers but we should really have said something about my meal last night.

Second Dakota hotel we've stayed in and loved it. Great location. Great facilities - the bar is lovely and has an outdoor terrace too. Rooms are immaculate and come with Molton Brown toilettries. Parking about a 5 minute walk away and not badly priced for city centre. Room was lovely. Only downside was we were given plain white slippers vs the grey branded ones we got when we stayed in Manchester which are nice keepsakes. Other than that a lovely trip.

The rooms in The Dakota are lovely, luxurious furnishings and the comfiest bed. There is great attention to detail in the public areas and the guest rooms. Everywhere smells lovely too. Breakfast is good value and the Afternoon Tea is exceptional. We keep going back to the Dakota because of the excellent Customer Service, all the reception, and concierge staff have been kind and attentive to our needs. Courtney and Grace are both a credit to the Dakota team in Leeds.

Leeds is limited on five star hotels. The five star status is why we chose this location. It’s nice, but average for a five star establishment. The interiors are purposefully dark (nightclub dark). It’s very moody, but it needs more light, including the rooms, corridors and elevators. The pluses; staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. A small range of complimentary refrigerated beverages in the room, including fresh cows milk (nice touch). Bed is large and nice and comfy. TVs in the living area and in the bedroom. Areas that need improvement; Wire shower basket doesn’t hold the Milton brown toiletries upright that are supplied as the gaps in the caddy are too wide. Towels; one on the heated radiator, the other tucked away in a basket underneath the sewing kit and other items (slightly strange set up). More space needed for your cosmetics and toiletries. Including hooks to hang travel kits (ended up hanging outs off the light fixture. Breakfast is okay depending on what you want. The full English was greasy. Overall I’d say the stay was fine. We made it work, but I think we’d explore other options if we ever return to Leeds.
