Top Lewes Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Hotel Brighton

Leonardo Hotel Brighton

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed for two nights at this hotel. The location is excellent, as it is very close to Brighton Station. The breakfast buffet was very good, with a nice selection of food. However, I found the staff, particularly the lady hosting breakfast, to be unfriendly. On the first day of my stay, I was unwell and barely ate anything, including dinner that evening. The following morning, I asked if I could take my breakfast to my room because I still wasn’t feeling well. Unfortunately, the hostess simply said “no” without asking why or showing any understanding of my situation. I felt the response lacked empathy and customer care. As someone who also works in the hospitality industry, I understand that policies need to be followed, but I also believe good service means listening to guests and showing compassion when appropriate. In this case, I felt the focus was more on getting through the shift than helping a guest who was unwell. Overall, the hotel was good, mainly because of its convenient location and the quality of the breakfast, but the staff’s attitude could be improved to provide a more welcoming experience."
