    If I was to be commuting by car, car parking would have been an issue but as on train did not cause an issue

    The hotel was central, very clean, great atmosphere, perfumed room smell and decor, all staff met with where helpful and friendly and even though we only had a standard room due to a short visit, it was well laid out and had everything we needed. 11am check out good too

    We went down for breakfast in the morning wearing our comfy clothes, I had a hoodie on. Everyone else wore business attire and most people in there were working. We were given a table right next to the buffet, so people kept knocking into us as they got their breakfasts. We were asked if we would like tea or coffee, which we ordered coffee. It never arrived. We were forgotten about. After watching the gentleman bring coffee to three other tables I had to go up and ask where ours was. Despite the fact that I’d hired the two best and most expensive rooms in the hotel, as I wasn’t in my suit I was judged, chucked into the corner and forgotten about.

    THE BED WAS INCREDIBLE!!! Best sleep of my life. The decoration throughout the entire hotel was amazing. Such a fantastic atmosphere. We had a suite, room 502 and it was perfect.

Stunning interiors inside and outside, staff fabulous and lovely choice of areas to sit and drink.The location is ideal, cliseti a good selection of bars and restaurants. I will definitely be returning and trying other Dakota Hotel locations.

    A little too dark in the corridors. Not a problem for me but a bit disorienting perhaps for people without perfect vision or with early signs of dementia.

    Friendly Porter when I arrived and left. Very clean and public areas smelt great.

    Great value for money, upmarket feel and spacious rooms.

    No fridge or coffee machine in the room. For a more upmarket hotel I’d say this is a requirement nowadays, even in more basic rooms. I visited a few years ago and they had a lovely upstairs terrace bar which has unfortunately closed down. I really hope they reopen this as it provided a more exclusive setting for a drink after dinner.

    Fantastic value for money for the quality of the room, the location, the upmarket feel. Very friendly and easy check-in too. Room was exceptionally clean and also spacious. They put a box of chocolates in the room for my birthday which was a nice touch.

    We stayed in a signature suite for our wedding weekend and could not have been happier with the room and staff. The room was immaculate and well stocked, and the staff were courteous and made a huge effort over the two days. Fantastic experience.

    Came here to celebrate with my newlywed wife on our wedding night and were treated exceptionally well with a room upgrade and complimentary items - rose petals on the bed, chocolates, and champagne. Staff are extremely helpful and can sort anything out really quickly. Room service food is really nice and I might get another burger before I go home tomorrow.

    We had been to a concert and went to the bar when we got back . There was a group of girls shrieking at the bar and it spoiled that atmosphere some what

    Everything from the meal in the restaurant, the room and the breakfast was all excellent

    Cost was too high really but location was perfect - pity about the parking - I did use valet parking but was expensive - very convenient though. Hotel was very difficult to find - I know Leeds very well now.!

    Received by concierge & reception was excellent - friendly and professional.
