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.”

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.

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.

Parking spot outside the hotel could’ve been a little bit better in terms of the barrier, my car was a bit low down and it scraped the bottom and the bumper of my car

Great location, friendly staff.. lovely room.. great restaurant.. Nice Anniversary stay.

Breakfast was really good and the staff were efficient and very friendly..

I booked an executive room which had great floor space and the layout was really good.. the only disappointment was the complimentary mini bar.. When I opened it it had two bottles of water one can of full strength coke one Diet Coke one can of fever tree tonic.. a semi skimmed milk one small packet of nuts a packet of fruit snacks.. and two bottles of beer.. I don’t drink so I asked to swap them for another two bottles of water.. I didn’t expect a volume of alcoholic drinks but I did expect some other alcoholic option for my wife..

Asked for card on arrival for a £50 deposit, assuming this was for minibar but fridge was empty. Refunded within a few days. Some surface furniture was stained, carpet had stains, and coffee machine was dusty.

Nice central city centre Glasgow hotel for short stay

Lovely comfortable bed, great pillows and linen. V clean room.

The breakfast was not good- really poor quality for a 4star hotel. The avocado with poached eggs with hollandaise was awful- a pile of gloop with lukewarm eggs that made the toast go into a wet mess. Really disappointing breakfast buffet- go out for breakfast and save your money. On a previous stay it had been good, but not on this occasion.

Breakfast at £24 per person per day is too expensive so I booked room only.
