I had a wonderful couple of nights at this hotel, and I was extremely surprised with their offering. So much so, i have booked another couple of nights. I was upgraded at the hotel, which was lovely, I can’t say i have ever been upgraded, so this was a nice touch. But the rooms were delightful, the beds super comfortable and the food was out of this work. I could not recommend this hotel enough.

The Dakota is a very stylish, premium hotel, perfectly situated for Manchester city centre. Our standard room was larger than most, spotless and beautifully decorated. Staff were excellent too - friendly, welcoming and helpful. Our only point of criticism was the size of the breakfast - I could've managed the same portion again! All in all, though, we loved our brief stay, and would definitely return.

The only issue I had with this place, because overall it was a great place but it was hard to get food. They shut the kitchen down so early you couldn’t order room service or dinner past a certain hour.
