Breakfast q on the weekend for pancakes and omelettes was too long. The coffee at breakfast was horrible. Windows looking out to the seafront were filthy. A pillow case was dirty. No slippers or gowns to go down to the pool and spa Really expensive parking. Wouldn’t book again.

Check In was slow taking about 12 minutes. Only one counter had staff then someone came out of the office to help. No heat in my room 426 but staff were attentive and tried to fix it but couldn't find the key to unlock a ceiling access panel. That seems sloppy. They did provide a portable heater and after 1 hour the room was fine. Breakfast was very good. They had sent me an Email to do automatic online checkout but that didn't work and kept saying "your bill is not prepared yet" or similar. Possibly that was because it was prepaid via Hotels.com. The queue to check out again was 4 deep so I just dropped the key cards into the box and walked away. Nice enough place, but they need to work on staffing levels at reception and not lose keys to maintenance panels.

We had a good stay at Leonardo Hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable with a king-size bed, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing, and dinner food was also good. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool, steam, and sauna, although the steam and sauna areas are quite small. The main downside was the very poor Wi-Fi, which was too slow for streaming or uploading, especially for the kids’ iPads. We also experienced an issue with the toilet flush not working . Overall, a pleasant stay, but improvements to Wi-Fi and maintenance would make it even better.

Great hotel to stay in with kids. The room was spacious and clean. We used the pool twice. Breakfast was great, a lot of variety and good quality food. More gluten free and dairy free options would be good for those with intolerances though there were milk alternatives and plenty of cooked food options. We got parked in The Lanes car park ok even though it was full when we arrived. It is heavily discounted when staying in the hotel and easily paid for at reception upon check-out. The location is great, right on the seafront and just a couple of minutes away from lots of restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.
