Dakota Hotel Glasgow

Another lovely stay at Dakota Glasgow. Stylish, First Class Service and a jolly positive helpful Team. I ate in Jacks Bar on 2 of my eveninga and i have to say the food was superb. Ross, Xander, Rachel and Calum were wonderful and looked after me so very well. Special mention to Paul who is always so very helpful and friendly. Liam on the Concierge Desk who greets you on enterkng and leaving the Reception Area. Dakota Glasgow have maintained their very high standards and i always leave so very impressed by the whole Team. Not forgetting Jen and Holly on the Reception and Ash at Breakfast in the Grill. Am back again over Christmas staying in the lovely Signature Suite.

I've used the Dakota hotels extensively over the last 15 years or so, they were always brilliant. However this time was a little different. The hotel itself was brilliant as usual, the staff were excellent, friendly and very accommodating, but even for all that, this visit left a bitter taste. We always upgrade to at least an executive room, as these always provided a little bit more, larger beds, more space, a seating area and a complimentary mini bar. However this time, it's wasn't as much of a mini bar, but rather a meanie bar! The bar is usually well stocked with a selection of drinks and snacks. This time there were only 2 beers, 3 soft drinks and two bottles of water. The snacks were "fruit snacks" and spiced peanuts. Pretty poor, considering my wife doesn't drink beer! We spoke to reception, as we assumed that the bar hadn't been stocked, who informed us that this was part of the cost cutting going on! They kindly swapped out the beers for wine. Cocktails in Jack's bar and breakfast in the restaurant were both excellent.

Having previously stayed at Dakota Manchester and Leeds, my expectations were very high and Dakota Glasgow didn’t disappoint. The hotel is perfectly located, just a 10-minute walk up hill from Glasgow Central Station.||The staff were professional, polite, and genuinely welcoming. The entire hotel, including my room, was spotless and clearly very well maintained. ||The bed deserves a special mention, undoubtedly one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. My Executive room was on the 4th floor opposite the lift, so I expected some noise, but it was impressively quiet throughout my stay.||Spacious, well designed room with all the amenities you’d need including hot drink facilities and a complimentary stocked mini bar / fridge with waters, sodas, beers and light snacks. ||Would I stay again? Absolutely—100%. I’d highly recommend Dakota Glasgow and look forward to returning. Thanks to the whole team for an excellent stay.

The Dakota Hotel, Glasgow is stunning! We booked a Signature Suite for 1 night and it was beautiful and absolutely immaculately clean it looked like nobody had ever stayed in the room. It was very spacious too with a gorgeous sofa at the end of the bed & a very large bathroom with both a shower and roll top bath tub. The hotel staff are all lovely, helpful, and very efficient. Our stay was outstanding! Breakfast delicious! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Dakota Hotel to anyone looking for an extremely affordable high quality hotel!

Great food, great service, and lovely setting. Steaks cooked perfectly, sides were all lovely, really like the cauliflower side aswell as the parsnips and carrots. The dessert was very good, shared as would have been too much between us after a big main. Think it was Ashley serving us could be wrong but both other servers very friendly, then had a chat with Andrew who’s been there as far back as I can remember. Will be back at another date even if just for a drink, cocktails made to a high standard.

A nice hotel with a soothing, moody design throughout. There were some snags with the room and housekeeping. The shower can only be turned on or off, the water pressure is extremely low. I wasn't sure if this is a water saving measure, or an issue with the utilities. The room was clean overall, but one of the pillow cases was extremely wrinkled from the dryer. The blinds could have used a wipe down. There was only one robe, and it had a pretty prominent blue stain. We asked for extra pillows at the front desk before heading to dinner. Turn down service was included in the booking, and while we didn't actively request it, I was surprised they didn't take the opportunity to perform it while delivering the pillows. They didn't even remove the used drinking glass and cup from the table, let alone refresh them. I've definitely experienced much more circumspect/proactive service at hotels of a comparable price point. The bar staff was super nice though, and the bar food surprisingly good. The room was also very, very quiet with a comfortable bed, which is ultimately the most important thing. Not sure I would stay again in this location, but I would give the brand another chance.

The Dakota in Glasgow was a great hotel. Everything was nice and clean, and the rooms were decorated beautifully and very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly, and the breakfast was excellent. We were even upgraded to an executive suite, which made the trip feel extra special. The only small downside is that the location is a little out of the way from the city center, but the walk still felt safe and easy enough.

I had a wonderful four-night stay at Dakota Glasgow. The hotel is compact, very stylish, and perfectly located, making it so easy to walk into town and explore the city. My room was amazing and the bed extremely comfortable. Every member of staff was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The cocktails were fantastic, and breakfast was high-quality and freshly made each morning. The staff were also fantastic, friendly, welcoming and seemed genuinely interested in why we were staying and making recommendations - they were very professional As a travel professional, experiencing the hotel first-hand was invaluable, and I can confidently recommend Dakota Glasgow to anyone looking for a stylish city break with exceptional service. I’ll be returning in November and can’t wait to stay again.

I stayed at the Dakota with my wife back in 2022. I recently went to a conference at work and it reminded me about how much I liked staying at the Dakota. I dont remember how we found it online, but I am glad we did. The room had a great feel. I really enjoyed the way it was lit. It was definitely well thought out, in respect to lighting design. I would 100% stay again.

Beautiful, stylish, cozy luxury hotel. I only expected to stay at a nice place but what I got was that plus a service level and kindness that transcended my tough travel experience into a wonderfully peaceful one. The desk attendant was psychic. She read my vibe and completely transformed it. She went way above and beyond. Sent up a glass of wine, offered to do laundry same night because British Airways lost my bag. It was amazing. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The food was incredible. I loved it there!!! Please stay at a Dakota hotel!!!!

The Dakota Deluxe is only missing one star for me because it lacks a spa (but I am rather picky). Other than that this place is an excellent new addition to Glasgow's hotel scene. I was lucky enough to be shown round all the different styles of rooms. The standard room is very reasonably priced at around £120/night, it is luxurious and very swanky indeed, personally I think it is the best value for money and not too different to the other more expensive rooms. There is one room 'The suite' that comes in at £750/night, its like a little apartment, much bigger in size and it has an adjoining door which can be shut and an area that can be used for business meetings. The colour scheme is very on trend with a mixture of shades of grey. I really liked the interior design, in the downstairs restaurant there is a 'Jack' theme; all the pictures on the walls are different celebrities with the name Jack - some trickier than others to recognize. I think my favorite room was 'The library' were you can see a selection of cigars and can order drinks to your table, its a small room fitting around 50 people, excellent for private parties. The food is top notch, I had scallops, followed by a monkfish curry and then a couple of tasty cocktails. The menu too is reasonably priced considering you feel like you are in Manhatten in some swish restaurant. The Dakota Deluxe will not disappoint!

This place will go down as one of my favourite hotel stays ever! The staff are friendly and inviting, the entire place is chill, understated but classy and cozy. The room is small but the space is maximized, the bed was big, raised up and comfy af! It doesn't feel or look like a hotel room, I felt like I was a guest at a very rich friend's house. I actually wish my bedroom was that legit! We spent sometime in the bar/lounge and it was very cool, lots of seats but still intimate. They had the most delicious cocktails, one of my favourites was a Rhubarb Gin drink My husband made it down to the Restaurant for breakfast and said the food was really good so there's that too. All in all, a legit hotel and I'd definitely stay there again.

Loved our stay here at the Dakota! The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and thorough. We started our Scotland vacation here and we are more than grateful. With a great use of mirrors and lighting, the room feels like a modern designer bedroom rather than your typical hotel stay. The bathroom waterfall shower is an added bonus! I really appreciated the USB outlets located in the room for our cell phones so we didn't have to use our plug converters.

Wow - Dakota brings something really fresh and special to the heart of Glasgow with their new Deluxe hotel just off Blythswood Square. We'd stayed at the Eurocentral Hotel a while back and were really impressed, so booked in for an early dinner to visit this one. It's only been open 4 weeks but the only way you'd really know is by how fresh and pristine the furnishings are. The staff are really slick and professional, and you'd never guess they were all pretty much new to the business (some staff have moved over from Eurocentral/Edinburgh). As you might guess from the outside of the building, the interior is dark, masculine and yet cosy. We had a drink in the bar and were really well looked after by the staff who were so professional yet chatty and friendly. The cocktail menu is impressive and I really enjoyed the passionfruit punch which I think was around £8. There's few bars in Glasgow as classy and refined as this one - here, it's not about being "seen", which is trap a lot of other places have fallen into (snooze). It's discreet and comfortable, perfect for being able to enjoy a drink and properly relax. We were in the bar for about half an hour and it was amazingly relaxing. We then headed down for dinner - we were the only people dining as we were eating at 5.30pm. There's leather booths and again, dark timber decor but really nicely done so it's very classy and slick. The menu is very traditional - there's nothing really that "out there" in terms of adventurous food. As we were limited with how much time we had, we just had mains - I had the special fish of the day, sea bass with jersey royals, spinach and hollandaise and Graeme had the chicken kiev. The sea bass was amazing. Probably the best sea bass I've ever eaten - the skin was cooked so perfectly that it was really rich and crispy while the flesh was still soft and succulent. The accompaniments were all lovely but the real side-highlight was the dauphinoise potatoes. Utter cheesy perfection. Our bill for a main each and sides, a cocktail each and a carafe of wine came to £70 which we both agreed was really great value. Next time we'll go back for a more relaxed meal! I need to mention again just how great the staff were - John, the restaurant manager was really friendly and chatty, and made sure we were looked after perfectly. I can't wait to go back and we'll probably stay over next time!

A designer's dream hotel, as if Massimo Vignelli and Giorgio Armani decided to take thousands of bolts of dark gray cashmere and build an icon to sleek, cozy, deep rich comfort. I've been here twice, and I love it as much as any hotel I've visited anywhere. The Bar and Grill both get ***** as well. Curl up in luxury.

This is such a great establishment! My wife and friends enjoyed a three day holiday here and ate breakfast and dinner here every day of our stay. I can only say that the food service and staff are top notch and we truly enjoyed every aspect of our stay.
