Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

Fodors review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Dakota Hotels are a prominent hospitality chain in the UK, boasting 5 establishments spread throughout the region, each featuring a grill restaurant in the style of a brasserie.

The Glasgow hotel is a remarkable 83-room property equipped with smart TVs, rapid internet connectivity, private bathrooms, and monsoon showers. Its external architecture would seamlessly blend into a metropolis like New York or Chicago, all while preserving its Scottish allure.

An elegant menu is available at The Grill, the hotel’s onsite dining facility, and the contemporary bar is home to an exclusive Champagne Room and cigar terrace, providing a wide range of cocktails and wines.

Dakota enjoys a strategic position in the heart of the city, less than a mile from railway stations and the Hydro event space. Additionally, it’s just a short stroll away from the city’s retail sector and cultural points of interest.

Lovely Stay

My room was spacious and comfortable, good pillows, nice shower, very nice housekeeper (turn down service with chocolate!!)

The room is due for a refurb - the carpet seemed worn with a few stains, the furniture and overall decor felt dated.

Relaxing, child free weekend

I stayed with my partner for his birthday. We arrived a little early to drop our bags, our room was already made up and we got straight in. The room was absolutely gorgeous. We had planned to go to the terrace for a few drinks then head out but the terrace kept us! The staff are absolutely amazing. Adam from the bar knew his stuff! He was very attentive and made sure we were ok. The housekeeper from Saturday morning on our floor was lovely I asked for some extra tea bags which was no problem for her. Very polite!

I can genuinely say that there's absolutely nothing I didn't like. I would highly recommend this place.

Fabulous

Visited in December, exterior of the hotel was very pretty with the festive bow. The entryway is really well kept and staff member upon check in was incredibly helpful with my questions. The room itself is beautiful and super spacious. A very modern space and SKY TV.

For such large rooms I’m surprised the bed is only a double. You could comfortably fit a king!

A time less classical indulgence..

Location is quiet...considering your in the center of glasgow The welcome from reception staff on arrival and departure Makes you feel..they are attentive to your needs during your stay Had a wonderful Christmas dinner ...traditional with a classic timeless edge..creating a sensual overload ..with ever mouth full ...from starter to dessert.. It did not disappoint Bar has a wonderful selection of cocktails..champagne..whisky Yet again more attentive staff on hand to explain the selections of drinks available The rooms have a classical old school charm ..with a sharp modern edge...in its own right a wonderful indulgence The hotel is quiet...certainly a place where you can recharge away from the outside world Have returned to this hotel on many visits ...does not disappoint

Yet to find something wrong...

Excellent as always.

Love the ambience of this hotel. Breakfast was top notch, ordered eggs Benedict. Would highly recommend.

Not the fault of the hotel but in street parking outside is for 2 hours between 8am and 6pm and is extremely expensive. £13 for two hours, and I had to refresh that a few times. I think this is pretty much the expected cost for on street parking in the city. Although it is possible to park further out for free and either walk or taxi it in.
