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.

"This hotel is quintessentially British. It’s a in a perfect location for the new forest. We were a family of the 3. 2 adults and a 16 great old. The room Was on the ground floor (135) great location within the hotel. Until the evening when we were kept awake for 2 nights by the guests upstiars! You have to make allowances for creaks and noises as it’s an old building but blimey I thought people were going to come through the ceiling. They obviously had a young child above us which was not ideal. And our bed was horrendous. It was like laying on the bed base. But apart from Those 2 things hotel was lovely. The grounds were beautiful and the staff were super friendly and the whole place was lovey and clean."
