February 2025I had a wonderful stay at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Southampton. The hotel offers spacious and well-maintained rooms with all the essential amenities, making it a very comfortable experience. The service is exceptional, with the staff always willing to assist and ensure a pleasant stay. One of the standout features is the free access to the jacuzzi, steam sauna, and swimming pool, which adds a touch of luxury to the experience. The hotel’s location is also a big plus—just a short walk from the town center, making it convenient for exploring Southampton. A special mention to Lisa from room service, who did an amazing job in keeping the rooms clean and well-maintained. She is incredibly kind, hardworking, and dedicated to her work, ensuring guests have a spotless and welcoming room every day. Overall, Leonardo Royal Hotel Southampton is a fantastic choice for a comfortable and relaxing stay, with excellent service and great facilities. I highly recommend it!

February 2025Great deal for three nights. Excellent city centre location, plenty of parking, comfortable rooms, very good breakfast and huge bar! Staff were exceptional, restaurant were always moving/serving and the reception team were 5 Star - nice job Georgiana & team! The hotel needs a little investment and the pool facilities were very tired - come on Directors put some money in and get it back to the 90’s standard!

March 2025Booked an overnight stay inc of breakfast, booked double room as interesting building and competitive price for the area. This included access to the gym, pool, and sauna. There is also a spa. You would have to check regarding prices and booking treatments Parking available next to hotel £7 for 24 hours Very helpful, approachable staff, What can I say? we were pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the stay

March 2025My friend and I had a great room, blackout curtains worked great, small balcony looked out to the sea, bathroom was clean and the overall decor was in line with the price. There is a very formal restaurant and a very cozy bar on the ground floor. The desserts in the bar are generally delicious, but a little too sweet for me as an East Asian. This only represents my personal taste. All the staff in the bar were very classy,elegant and friendly. This left a extremely good impression on me. The hotel also has a meeting room, a coffee bar and a swimming pool, as well as free luggage storage. There are a few points worth noting. If you want to check in early, it is possible under certain circumstances, but it will incur a small extra fee. The air conditioning in the room is not controlled by the controller in the room. If you feel the room is cold, you need to inform the front desk and they will increase the air conditioning temperature in your room.
