Myself and my 2 daughters had a 3 night stay at The Royal Leonardo Hotel for my 60th birthday. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was immaculate with very comfortable king sized beds. The hotel sits on the seafront and is perfect for accessing the many bars and restaurants nearby and has direct access to The Lanes. We will definitely return for another stay very soon. Just wonderful.

Great location just opposite the beach, with The Lanes behind. Two entrances which was very useful. Car parking underneath the hotel was a bonus. Wonderful views in restaurant. Very helpful staff. Negatives - bathrooms small. Would be better with just a shower not a bath. Running machines in gym looked very old and space was very tight. Lift didnt go through to the gym/pool so you had to walk through the lobby which needed to move one of the sofas to make access easier to get across to the lifts.

The property was located on the waterfront and adjacent to the Lanes and other attractions. The room was well stocked and cozy. Appreciated the nice touches! Parts of the hotel felt not kept up or clean, like the elevator from the garage and the hallways. The staff were kind and helpful!
