Leonardo Hotel Southampton

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel and room we stayed in were immaculate. The room had everything we needed and was lovely and cool on a scorching 33 degree day, which was a welcome relief. The restaurant and bar were lovely and welcoming, staff welcoming and very friendly with a good choice of food and drink on offer. All of the staff we encountered around the hotel were lovely. Breakfast was a little chaotic as there is not a lot of space to move around each other and I think we went down at busy time but the food was hot and fresh and very tasty. There was a great selection of hot and cold options, drink options and everything looked fresh and well presented. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope that we get to revisit again. An easy 5 stars from us."

"The staff was great to welcome and assist you. Difficult access to the pool and although the property has some updates, more should be considered. The stay was enjoyable and would us the hotel again as it is one of the better ones in the area. A special shout out to the concierge staff to ensure taxis and luggage were handled with speed in accuracy."
