St Helens Hotel with Pool

"Check in process poor, greeted by 3 staff staring at us none of whom spoke to say hello when we entered. Check in process very long delayed by user login issues. Went to room and keys didn’t work, returned to reception and waited again to be told had been given keys to incorrect room. Had booked king room on the basis that website showed there would be a walk in shower. We had shower over bath which we couldn’t use as there are no grab rails. Didn’t book breakfast and was told if we decided in morning it would cost an extra £5 each which is unreasonable when you don’t know if you will want breakfast until the morning. Felt forced into paying upsell for breakfast at check-in which we declined. Parking charge is high for overnight guests don’t be greedy Voco!"

"Room was clean, food was good "

"Lots of parking and easy. Friendly staff. Good range of breakfast, a little higgledy piggledy layout and had to ask for supplies to be replenished as often empty but done quickly. Nice relaxing emvironment. A range of activities, easy access by car to shopping. If a pool table was installed this would be a great staycation."

"Such a lovely hotel, full of history, the staff were helpful and perfect location for the historic dockyard"

"Buse at the front desk was just exceptional! She handled some minor issues with such speed and efficiency, she is truly an asset to this company. The daily breakfast is outstanding in quality, service and variety. The pool is truly an added bonus being warm , large and having a hot tub. Even though I was not able to use the gym area it looked great! I highly recommend a stay at The Leonardo not only for its appeal but for the ease of walk ability to anything you may need or want. Also main train station about 10 min walk."

"The room we stayed in was very close to the reception.We could hear people talking loudly which disturbed our sleep in more than one occasion.A sound proof door should be there between reception and the ground rooms to minimise or eliminate the sound.We also found dump in the bedroom walls, towards the main window and the bed sheets had holes on it."

"The hotel was noisy from 08:00 on Saturday morning with what I can only assume was a spin class being taken by someone using a mega-phone..."

"Check-in was quick and straightforward, and the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the stay itself was very disappointing. The radiator in our room appeared to be airlocked and began making loud gurgling noises around 3:30am, waking us up. The noise was constant and intrusive, coming from right next to the bed. I reported the issue to the night desk clerk, who explained the hotel was fully booked and we couldn’t be moved. He did switch the heating system off, which stopped the noise, but by then I was fully awake and struggled to get back to sleep. There were also other issues in the room. The hairdryer’s PAT test had expired, which raises safety concerns, and the shower pressure was excessively harsh—so sharp it was almost unusable. I raised the radiator issue again with the morning desk clerk, but the response was underwhelming. Aside from an apology, I was simply advised to leave a review. Given the poor night’s sleep and the overall experience, this felt inadequate. At £80 for the night—followed by a three-hour drive the next day—I expected a much better standard of comfort and customer care. Unfortunately, this experience fell short, and based on this stay, I would choose a Premier Inn in future."

"Good value for money nice restaurant great room"
