I booked this hotel for a business trip. Location is great, they have free parking spots, and they have a candy bar. That was fun. The hotel rooms are good. I will stay there again.
Nice location and easy access to everything. Great breakfast quality and option. quite area for good sleep. However, the wifi service is very poor, we had 4 days no wifi service at all due to broken service.
Stay only one night. Hotel has a good location, walking distance to the city center. We are satisfy with our stay. Clean and well equipped room. Quiet at night. Very good choice of food at breakfast. 😀❤️
It was our half way stop during longer journey. Hotel is located close to motorway and a free parking was a bonus. Stuff was very friendly and helpful.
Decent size room with comfy bed.
Breakfast (in my opinion) was too pricey (€17/adult and €8.50/children) but there was good selection of food (hot & cold) and everything was tasty.
Overall good stay.
The hotel is really nice and the staff as well, they are really kind.
The room in general was very nice, except for the bathroom which was having issues for running the water out. Besides that I totally recommend it. I’m pretty sure the situation of the bathroom will be fixed
This was a quick stop over to break up a long day of driving. Easy to find on maps, very close to the station if needed.
Reception staff were helpful, room was quite small but for one night it was fine with us. The area is a little seedy but the hotel was convenient, clean and provided a good breakfast. Parking was free, an added bonus.
Generally, I found it to be over-priced and tardy.
Dated, and not nearly up to the standard of any other Leonado hotel.
The evening receptionist did not show a lot of enthusiasm in greeting a foreign paying Guest.
Her standard of hospitality and empathy was below excellence.
Was looking forward to my prepaid multi-thousand dollar stay at the hotel. Was unable to go and hotel Leonardo and Expedia offered no stay-postponement options or reimbursement options, they just took my money and hours on the phone with them got me no help.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
No restaurant. No iron. No miniver. No charm. No room service. Dull and depressing
It was a good hotel stay, however after check out when we came to pick up our bags, the two ladies at the reception seemed to be annoyed because we asked for a taxi to be called and asked them if they knew how much it would approximately cost. They also didn't seem happy that we wanted to use the restroom to get ready for an event and that we asked for a small towel
