Leonardo Hotel Southampton

Leonardo Hotel Southampton

10/10 Excellent
"Great great location. Don’t need to stay near the pier and pay their price. Great value at this hotel, clean , modern,well maintained and excellent location. Bar and restaurant on site so no need to venture out hunting for something. Many friends stay near pier for pre cruises but way more expensive while this hotel is only 10 minutes to pier was way more cost effective. Uber was only 8 pounds. Definitely recommend this hotel for all singles couples and family."

Breakfast was nice and the dining room wasn't crowded, the only thing missing for us was fried eggs.
