The Dakota is a very stylish, premium hotel, perfectly situated for Manchester city centre. Our standard room was larger than most, spotless and beautifully decorated. Staff were excellent too - friendly, welcoming and helpful. Our only point of criticism was the size of the breakfast - I could've managed the same portion again! All in all, though, we loved our brief stay, and would definitely return.
