Great central location, spotlessly clean. Food was excellent.

All staff at the Dakota are fab, especially the bar, restaurant and concierge team. Check in felt as though we were an inconvenience with no information given on breakfast times or any services. Evan had to ask how we get to the lifts to get to the room which is a little strange for a 4 star hotel (this was a little thing and overall a fab place).

The room (executive suite) and the guest service was excellent. Especially the kindness of the waiting staff was beyond compared. Even though the terrace for brunch was not open, upon request we were seated there. The cleaniness and cosiness highly appreciated. We spent two special nights at the Dakota Hotel Manchester and certainly will return.

We were not informed about the deposit needed to pay upon arrival. It certainly was not a problem however would have preferred knowing this prior to arrival.

This isn't just your average hotel! Staff were lovely and welcoming when we checked in. Bed was massive with plenty of space and really cosy. TV offers a variety from Sky Sports to movies when you want to settle down for the night. The bathroom facilities are kitted out to the max with both shower and bath included! And room service are fast. Expensive, but worth it for the experience! Overall, I would definitely be back again in the future and would certainly would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants the experience.

The only thing I didn't like was they require a £50 deposit, in case you decide to use the room service. This was not notified in advance and was more on the spot payment.

Super romantic decor, totally our vibe. Exceptional staff, have to give special mention to the gentleman manning the doors. He was so friendly and helpful. Everything during our stay was magical, the small details in the room, the bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, the bathroom was gorgeous and the tv/mirror was wow. Will definitely return.

The packages we went for in addition to the room were a bit pricey, but we weren't too fussed about this as it was a special occasion. Perhaps out of budget for a random night away, but to mark a special moment, this is the perfect stay.

This hotel has everything you need! Absolutely perfect location, 8-10 minutes in an uber, but even if you want to walk it isn’t even that far to the city centre. Lovely arrival, staff are super friendly and very helpful. The hotel itself is stunning, the vibe is very relaxing and such a stunning hotel. The rooms are so lovely and luxurious, one of the nicest sleeps I’ve ever had, blacked out blinds and curtains for a peaceful sleep and the shower is just divine I didn’t want to get out. The valet parking is 24 hours, extra £40 but so worth it as you can keep the car there the next day depending what time you arrived if you wanted to venture out into the city for the day so I’d definitely recommend having the parking, there is a car park just down the road but I’d rather have my car in their car park, they even put water and mints in your car before you leave which is such a nice little gesture. 100% will be returning to this hotel again, thank you for your hospitality.

I've stayed at some lovely hotels in Manchester, and Dakota is now my favourite! A massive thank you to Latitia for the upgrade to a beautiful Signature Suite and a warm welcome on the front desk. The suite was immaculate, the bed was huge and comfortable, and the complimentary mini bar was well-stocked. It was perfect. The bar and restaurant were fabulous. The cocktails were quality and reasonably priced. Although it was busy, the atmosphere was chilled and classy. The fillet steak was spot on too. Overall, I've had a faultless stay at Dakota Manchester. It was the perfect solo birthday trip, and I'll definitely come back to stay in the near future. Thank you so much!

This is the second time I've stayed. The rooms are a great size, immaculately clean and very comfortable. The rooms were cleaned and tided each morning to the standard of when you arrived. It's also in a very convenient location, away from the hustle and bustle, yet close to bars, restaurants etc.

The staff are so hit and miss. There seems to be so many of them, way more than other high end hotels I've stayed at in Manchester. Dispite this, half of them find something to do that doesn't involve engaging with you. Even a simple hello seems tricky. The bar is grossly expensive, more exploitative than quality. This hotel is for the very rich with their very expensive cars outside.

Really comfortable.. nearly all staff were accommodating ,polite and helped out as much as they could..its very nice inside..it was very cosy very clean..our room was perfect for us

Bar closed too early for us 11pm.... we literally were at the bar at.11.02 after our event not knowing it closed at 11 and the way she told us about 3 times even though we had acknowledged her and said this was fine was rude.. we also were told by the same lady that we couldn't use the smoking area later on and that we had to use the street even though it was easily accessible and doors open to it.. we thought how she spoke to was a little rude.

Break for a birthday and special occasion. Hotel was beautiful, the decor and the lighting was amazing, very relaxed atmosphere. The terrace/ drinks were also very nice. Staff were attentive and friendly. We did have an issue with our fridge/air con in the king bedroom which was noisy/broken but as soon as this was reported to the front desk, the Dakota staff were on it and as a gesture of good will, Dakota upgraded our room from a king to an executive suite was OUT OF THIS WORLD and free of charge it was a lovely surprise - it really was a highlight in our stay how well we were treated by the staff - 1000 percent would stay here again! A massive Shoutout to Tiffany and the manager who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, especially after hearing about the broken fridge etc. Thank you Tiffany and all staff members who made our stay at Dakota so special.
