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.

The location was great, and the hotel was very clean and lovely. The staff were also kind and friendly, making me, a Japanese person who doesn't speak English, feel comfortable during my stay. I would definitely choose this hotel again when I visit Leeds.

Booked in advance, so the price was quite good. The room wasn't big, but the shower was great, and it was relatively clean. Check-out was super easy, just handed in the key card. Great value for money, definitely recommend.

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 hotel with nice decor rooms. As i came from far and i have electric car the biggest benefit was the Tesla superchargers. I got the basic room and it didn’t include breakfast or access to the gym/pool. Parking overnight is a £5 charge. So for me everything was an extra even when i asked for dental kit as i forgot my toothbrush it was an extra £1. There was no phone for room service either in room so i had to go downstairs. Great room otherwise.

The staff were incredibly friendly throughout my stay. The room featured a great, powerful, and hot shower, and the breakfast was excellent—especially the delicious croissants! I was particularly impressed by their thoughtful touch of providing a bag so I could take a croissant to-go as a morning snack. Although the building is older, it is very well-maintained. This is easily one of the best Holiday Inns I’ve stayed at in the UK. Highly recommended!

Does what it says, clean, no thrills, friendly staff, good location. I would note that this appears to be used for temp accommodation, however good soundproofing in rooms.

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!
