Dakota, Glasgow
More photosExpert 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.”

Top notch hotel with excellent service.
Brilliant and friendly staff, lovely food and cocktails (and a great surprise to find you could order the bar or grill menus as room service), easy to get to from the station and very near shops. Highly recommend staying here.
There isn't a bath in the classic double rooms. The suites have a bath, but they currently overlook roadworks, so are not recommended if you are a light sleeper. There also wasn't really a "view" from my room, but this is to be expected in a city location.

Loved it and if ever visiting Glasgow again would book it again in a heartbeat.
Our room was absolutely perfect, very clean comfortable & relaxing, we were taken aback at just how cosy it was and also a spotless bathroom with a really powerful shower. The staff were all lovely really friendly from the first minute we arrived.
There was nothing we didn't like. Thought the Breakfast @ £20 each was very expensive which is why we only had it once, it was nice but not worth £20.

If you have visual problems probably not the best choice for you.
Staff excellent, room very clean, breakfast good.
The lighting in the hotel is very gloomy. I'm visually impaired so this made things a little difficult. The table in my room was very tatty and needs replacing although that didn't impact my experience.

Grasshopper Hotel, Glasgow
Lonely Planet + 2 more“Discreetly hidden atop a timeworn railway administration building right alongside Glasgow Central, this small, well-priced hotel is a modern, upbeat surprise. Rooms are compact but well-appointed.”
ABode, Glasgow
Fodors + 1 more“Stylish and modern, this boutique hotel in an Edwardian building was once the grand home of a prime minister, hence the high ceilings and huge windows. The hotel retains architectural features like the wrought-iron elevator and walls lined with 2,000 gold-leaf lions.”
Malmaison Hotel, Glasgow
Lonely Planet + 1 more“This former church is a longtime favourite for its decadent decor and plush lines. Stylish rooms with mood lighting have a dark, brooding tone and opulent furnishings.”
