Leonardo Hotel Southampton

Leonardo Hotel Southampton

8/10 Good
"Chap named Lewis working on reception was great, a very busy afternoon at check-in. He was engaging, helpful & a credit to the team/hotel. Checking out unfortunately was a different matter, only one member of staff on shift, lady dealing with people checking out, checking in & leaving luggage. It took 20’ to retrieve our luggage, memo make sure you leave enough time."

8/10 Good
"Good location, beautiful building. Car park access was not great - challenging to negotiate with tight spaces (in limited numbers) and overhanging trees meant lots of crap falling on cars in even the slightest breeze. Breakfast was nice quality though limited in choices. Lyndhurst is pleasant and well served for quality places to eat (lunch, dinner and coffee/tray bakes). All in all, a nice base for exploring the New Forest."
