Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford

Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford

10/10 Excellent
"Well i think the pool did blow my mind by how warm it was. I think having to pay for parking and breakfast was unexpected. The showerhead in the room needed descaling as the water didn’t come out much and the kids doughball starters in my opinion are far too big and too much bread for a child I would suggest 4 or 6 much smaller balls. "

Quite symmetrical. This was taken while I was taking a casual stroll through Oxford. It was quite busy although school was out at the time. Beautiful grounds! Oxford is only an hr or so from London and is so worth a day trip.
