Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

10/10 Excellent
"Stay was great. Very close to port for cruise. Only one issue, but it was not with the hotel. Concierge scheduled us a taxi for travel to port, literally 6 blocks away. Taxi charged us $20. It was 2 people & 2 medium suitcases, and 2 backpacks that we kept with us. Definitely would recommend using Uber."

"I liked that the Property had big spacious rooms. Breakfast was great. It had clean towels and linen. They need to work on cleaning the bathroom tiles. The staff was friendly (most of them). There was no bar fridge which was a downside for me. I like having cold water and drinks. The TV was not working and they fixed it quickly. Overall it's a good hotel, I would book it again."

"Very good hotel in an excellent location from where to get to the cruise terminal in Southampton. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room, although a little dated, was very clean and comfortable. The included breakfast was excellent. For a change, the cooked buffet food was served hot on warmed plates. This hotel was excellent value for money and we will definitely return again in the future."
