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.”

Fabulous
Very comfortable, lush rooms with good beds and duvets. Big bathroom.
I had no option to choose a twin instead of a double. Always like to have my own duvet. Windows were very dirty on the outside.

Excellent location, clearly well run and an excellent approach by the team.
Very professional and warm welcome at the Dakota in Glasgow and a spacious and lovely room. Much better than previous experience at the Dakota in Leeds in terms of staff and room.
There is work going on outside the hotel but not within the hotel's control.

Very good
Lovely clean hotel with great staff. Not a bad location.
Our room was facing the back where all the garbage bins were. Could see and hear trash being thrown and taken away in the morning. The rooms were a bit too dark especially when getting dressed.

Nice hotel but would look for something more central next time.
The room was very nice and comfortable, however it was very warm during the night and we couldn't get the air conditioning to work. Windows are locked shut so no chance of cooling the room down a bit. We were room only which was quite costly. Breakfasts were expensive so we went elsewhere. Reception staff were lovely.
My husband bought a pint at the bar and although it was already expensive he was charged 91pence service charge which is a lot on the cost of a pint of lager. The location wasn't ideal as it was a bit of a walk uphill from the city centre.

Great location!
Amazing staff! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Location is great. Shopping, restaurants, and bars very close.
It was quite noisy. Between the staff slamming doors and the construction it was very loud.
