Martyn United Kingdom

Huge thanks to Lauren who helped to organise our birthday celebrations and make everything extra special. Front of house welcome from all staff was exceptional each and every time we came to and from. As well as being fantastically located, the hotel itself is very chic and glamorous; the beds are so comfortable. We enjoyed a few drinks expertly mixed at the bar and couldn't have wished for a better experience. Thanks Lauren, Neil, Chad and all the team. We look forward to returning again soon.

Asparagasm United Kingdom

EVERYTHING. from the location + less than 5 minutes from Manchester Piccadilly) to the well designed, as in Designer designed, layout, tones and decor. The service was impeccable. Shall try the Bar, Grill and Restaurant on my next visit. The property had a serious luxury vibe that didn't feel stodgy or exclusive but rather inclusive and inviting.

Brandadrian United States of America

My favourite hotel in Manchester! if you are after a luxury stay in the heart of the city centre, then Dakota should be on your list. The rooms are well decorated and are comfy! Dakota also has a lovely steakhouse and a gorgeous bar! Moreover, their terrace is a must!

Mohammed Saudi Arabia

Everything was great except the wifi connection, as I was on a business trip this is essentail for late evening working. I spoke with customer service desk and they did say it had been playing up a little. I did try and reboot my laptop many times however it did not help. I see from the questions above a paid wifi question has been asked, I was not offered this option when I questioned the internet speed?
