Expert reviews
“Suave and seductive in dark wood and grey tones, Dakota carries a strong design concept from low-lit basement restaurant to light-filled suites. Rooms are very spacious and feature appealing sitting areas as well as inviting beds.”
“At this extremely stylish addition to Glasgow’s hotel scene, the textured, neutral decor creates a restful, subdued atmosphere. That feeling continues in guest rooms that are beautifully decorated in soft browns and white.”
“One of the classiest hotels in Glasgow, an impressive addition to the Dakota brand created by Glaswegian hotelier Ken McCulloch and his designer wife Amanda. An old Works and Pension building in the city centre transformed into a stylish modern boutique hotel offering affordable luxury and excellent cuisine.”

A relaxing place for grown ups who love quality bedding & towels
Quiet, chilled. Good quality bedding and towels. Breakfast good, excellent smoked salmon and scrambled eggs!
Tv didn’t have Netflix, no spa facilities, would have liked to have a bath as well as a shower.

Loved how welcome the staff made us feel
Wee bit dissapointed with the mini bar in the room, choice was less than last year. Dust in the bar area was not good , but would cone back, but would not go for upgrade, no value added.

A wonderful short stay experience
It was comfortable, cozy and peaceful. We couldn't anything outside of our room. Shower is amazing. Bed is so comfortable and the decor is very relaxing. The grill is one of the best meals we have ever had.
The only issue we had was our check in was about an hour delayed, however, the staff were very nice and offered us a complimentary drink and a delayed check out. More than happy with the service

Blissful luxury
Everything! It was beautiful. By far, we have never stayed at such a stunning hotel before. Staff went the extra mile to ensure you were well cared for. Fully stocked mini fridge was a great bonus. Room was spotless and comfortable. Once in your room (we stayed in a Signature Suite) it is a little oasis and you could be anywhere!

Excellent stay in Glasgow
I had a wonderful stay at the Dakota hotel in Glasgow. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the room was very comfortable and clean, and the restaurant was excellent. Everything was very well organized, including the early morning transfer to the airport. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent!
Beautiful decor. Very helpful staff. Great location
Nothing wedidn’t like about the property however a couple of things that would make it even better. Would expect a greater selection of teas in the room - eg Earl Grey and Peppermint. Great there was an in-room Nespresso machine but there were no decaff capsules which we would have expected. Also on last evening we did not get any housekeeping service/fresh towels despite putting the sign outside our door. However, these are all minor and overall the hotel was outstanding and will definitely return when in Glasgow.

Amazing room. We've been here for a single night before our flight, and it's happened to be a perfect spot to have a good rest before further on up the road. Plenty of nice restaurants and bars are in a short-walking distance too.

Great location and close to Glasgow Central Station.
The room was spacious and the bed very comfy. The breakfast was good. I liked the granola and fruit compote and there was a nice selection of the usual breakfast options. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location really central.
The were very limited fresh fruit options for breakfast. No hotel gym may be an issue for some.

We stayed in one of the Signature Suites and it was worth every penny. Immaculately clean, big comfortable bed, fully stocked coffee bar and complimentary mini fridge. I’m expecting and my husband doesn’t drink so the team very kindly replaced the alcohol with alcohol-free beers and soft drinks for us which was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A wonderful room paired with friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable. I could have stayed for a lot longer!
It was a wonderful room, everything was very clean. Great amenities such as the two bottles of water, cookies and coffee. Additionally great amenities in the bathroom. The bed was large and comfortable and the pillows were great as well. We never heard any noise from outside additionally a thumbs up to the dimmable lighting!
Nothing really. Perhaps the large hill on the walk from Glasgow Queen St station to hotel but nothing the hotel can control. We had a wonderful stay!

Would highly recommend
We stayed on a room only basis as the hotel is situated close to the city centre. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was spacious with a generous sized bathroom. We arrived early due to the flight time and our room was available. The staff were really friendly, helpful and accommodating.
