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.
