"Very nice , staff on desk lovely "

"The heating in our room never really delivered. Staff were lovely - super friendly, helpful and cheerfull"

"Buse at the front desk was just exceptional! She handled some minor issues with such speed and efficiency, she is truly an asset to this company. The daily breakfast is outstanding in quality, service and variety. The pool is truly an added bonus being warm , large and having a hot tub. Even though I was not able to use the gym area it looked great! I highly recommend a stay at The Leonardo not only for its appeal but for the ease of walk ability to anything you may need or want. Also main train station about 10 min walk."

"Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and it's a nice hotel but far too warm to sleep. The first room I was given was 25 degrees when I opened the door. The staff helpfully moved me to a room on the other side which was cooler, but I struggled to sleep later as the temperature hovered around 21-22 degrees. The air conditioning is apparently 'centrally controlled' and just did not blow cool air at all."

"Always excellent "

"Easy check in with very friendly staff. It was perfect for what we needed, a quick get away close to the beach and they had a pool, garden and parking. "

"The hotel is great value for money and has a great gym too. Free parking and affordable drinks at the bar."

"I booked a two-night stay, arriving on the 20th, with check-in scheduled for 4:00 pm. I have been a loyal customer of this hotel for many years, dating back to its time under the Hallmark brand and later the Menzies Hotel Group, and I continued to stay regularly until the COVID period, and one visit prior to this since, I do understand covid change their hospitality business but noting should have effected general running and courtesy On this occasion, I booked through Hotels.com as it was an affordable short break. This stay was particularly important to me, as it was intended to give me the chance to get out of the house and gently improve my mobility following recent knee surgery. After a long period of recovery, this short break meant a great deal to me both physically and mentally. Given my long-standing history with the hotel and the personal circumstances surrounding this visit, I felt it was important to share this context with you. When my partner and I arrived at approximately 3:50 pm, we entered the hotel before unloading our luggage, as we noticed that the car park was now managed by a private parking company. This was £20.00 per night which of course we paid without hesitance on line even though The hotel appeared completely empty, and our vehicle was the only one in the car park. As we approached the building, everything gave the impression of being neglected and unwelcoming. i would like to send you full details of this horrendious experience"
