The Stay was very nice. The staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to help us check in. We would have stayed for a meal if the prices were more competitive or there was some other incentive to eat at the restaurant.

We chose Dakota as we had heard many good things. We upgraded to have a mini bar which wasn’t there and also to have Champagne and Canopies on arrival. We asked for the complimentary arrival drinks and were told to take a seat and they would be brought over. After 30 mins we had to leave and mentioned to the reception team that they had not arrived. Really disappointing to upgrade for extra perks and to receive none. Dinner was fabulous and so was the service, Just the attention to detail was nothing special in our experience.

One night's sleep and the rest of it was hassle.

Nice place but badly managed. Made a reservation for dinner, waited ages too be served and charged a service charge for my privilege. Was told that I would receive a receipt by email when I checked out. This has not happened and I can only chase it by email as speaking on the phone doesn't resolve the matter.

Very dark decor, but nice. Our rooms were of average size with nice bathrooms. We noticed packing to leave that our room's smoke detector had a plastic bag over it. We are guessing previous occupants may have been smoking or vaping. We advised staff at the front desk on checkout and were told they would take care of that immediately. We enjoyed our meals and beverages in the bar.

We have a very pleasant stay at the Dakota Hotel. Very friendly staff, lovely and clean, very welcoming, cosy communal areas. Reception staff were very helpful, however, special mention to Nieve, who was kind enough to help me a couple of times. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.
