We had a wonderful stay at the Dakota in Leeds. The staff were phenomenal and very accommodating, even taking delivery of an item prior to our arrival. It is excellently located, with a solid albeit not spectacular breakfast. Arguably the only area for improvement would be providing a few more amenities in the room. There is no mini fridge, limited wardrobe space, and the bathroom was a little lacking - no cotton pads, cotton ear buds, or toilet brush. Otherwise I can highly recommend this place for any stay in Leeds.

Excellent welcome from Ann at reception. She provided helpful information about local attractions. I even received a complimentary chocolate. No security deposit was required. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped (TV, hairdryer, kettle, mini-fridge, safe), with comfortable beds and quiet air conditioning. Good water pressure in the bathroom. No parking available. There's a gym and a rooftop bar & restaurant. Free late check-out was a bonus. The city center is just a few minutes' walk away. I highly recommend this hotel.

I had a very pleasant stay at Malmaison Hotel Leeds. The room was comfortable, clean, and overall the experience was excellent. I especially want to thank Zeinab, who was incredibly kind and helpful. She kindly helped me change to a room in a location that suited me much better, and I was very happy with the result. Her patience, professionalism, and warm attitude made a real difference to my stay. Thank you for the wonderful service — I truly appreciate it and would happily stay here again.

Great service with staff working really hard for a hotel cutting obviously corners on the cheap. Breakfast used to be good - stayed previously, but today poor cheap processed food, sausages pink and tasteless, no butter only cheap spread. Shower broken with end broken off and cold, only got Luke warm water after a lot of turning loose knob. Main reason for staying here is the swimming pool to break a long journey on A1 but arrived to be told it was closed and not available but no one bothered to email us in advance despite 5 emails confirming booking.  Great easy parking location just off A1 Left at 11 am with drinkers outside shouting with appalling language on their phone and other guests said it had kept them awake.  Booked a queen room to find its only a standard double bed and felt misled by description,  asked to move rooms which was easy with queen bed as requested but only difference between the rooms was it did not have a coffee table!  Will not be staying next time.

The front desk staff, a Pakistani guy, was really friendly. When he found out I was Chinese, he said China and Pakistan are good friends and then gave me a great room with a view of Leeds Cathedral. For an Ibis Budget triple room, this price is an absolute steal, especially for a family of three!

We had an overnight stay for dinner and breakfast and were very impressed with the hotel, set in an old Manor House which is well maintained to keep the original style alive. The food was nice and the experience was great even despite the original restaurant room being closed for refurbishments. The bar is set in the Manor House’s drawing room which made for a nice setting after having dinner in the evening. Overall it was a very nice stay and was reasonably priced for what was on offer and we hope to stay again!
