What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-organised, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The only downside is that the hotel does not have on-site parking, so you need to find parking outside, which can be a bit inconvenient. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely consider staying here again.”
“Parking is incredibly difficult given its central location. Hotel staff were friendly. Hotel room was a little tired, the sofa bed was left out as a bed (even for my solo stay) as the cushions were all torn when in the sofa position. Was fairly priced so I’ve not left a negative review. Breakfast was ok”
“We stayed for one night only. The room was surprisingly great. Room and bathroom were clean. We were upgraded to an executive room, so not sure how it compares in size and comfort to other types. We didn't have any meals in the hotel. Parking was easy enough in nearby multi storey car park. We parked the car before checking in.”
“We had a very good stay at Leonardo Hotel Southampton. The staff were extremely helpful and responsive throughout our stay. At first, the room was quite hot and the air conditioning was not working well, but once we reported it, the team dealt with it quickly. They moved us to another room where the air conditioning was much better, and they also provided a fan, which made a big difference. The staff were polite, cooperative, and genuinely tried to help us feel comfortable. I really appreciated their quick response and good customer service. Thank you to the team for making our stay much better.”
