What guests think

Leonardo Hotel Southampton is praised for its friendly staff and convenient location beside the park and near cruise terminals, while reviews often note dated areas, inconsistent cleanliness, and recurring room temperature issues, plus no on-site parking or easy drop-off.

Beds are generally comfortable, and many guests like the breakfast and on-site bar and restaurant. However, noise from the busy road and thin doors can be a problem for some. Overall, expect a handy city stay with warm service but mixed room standards and logistics.

Drop off very difficult if arriving by car due to there being just two parking spaces and a £100 penalty for overstaying beyond 15 minutes administered by your friendly parking management company On balance best avoided.

Great room. Spacious enough for family of 4. Bathroom was ok, but extractor fan wasn’t working which meant damp is setting in but early stages. Staff were amazing and friendly. Area is has a lovely massive green space. Parking is 15 minutes to drop off. You have to be very quick we you will get ticket. I think this should be extended to 30 mins as larger families found it difficult to get crying kids out after long drive etc. closest parking is the open car park inside the University grounds. It’s £5.50 for the day until 12am. So remember to schedule next day on Ringo app in case you fall asleep before 12am. Parking isn’t far but still enough of a walk if you have to lug your luggage back and forth due to short drop off time.

Had a lovely stay at Leornado hotel Southampton. Fantastic value for money, fabulous breakfast with a great variety to choose from. Clean rooms & very attentitive staff. Thankyou The only slight issue is because this hotel is central it doesn't have it's own car park which was a bit tricky and the pull in area to download is very tight too but itherqise amazing stay.

Lack of staff on Reception but those that were working were very pleasant. We had to leave our luggage as had to be out of room but it was too early to go to Cruise Port. The storeage facility was TOTAL CHAOS. One of r suitcases was just left behind Reception with others total lack of security & others in a room. The guy on Reception couldnt find them & wouldnt let my husband in to identy them. We had a taxi waitinh outside costing us money so my husband insisted in going in. There must have been 100 cases with no system whatsoever. Only my husband woukd have been able to identfy our luggage. This woukd put us off ever staying again pre cruise.

The communal stairs had worn out carpet and some areas need attention. The breakfast and reception area was nice and we were given a slightly later checkout as our cruise ship was delayed. Breakfast was nice but poor choice for vegetarian/vegan in the hot food. Overall a good hotel which is a little tired in some areas, friendly staff and a good location. I’d stay here again.

Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights however we left quite disappointed. Our room was on the 4th floor and Im not sure how many times we had to go back on reception to take new room keys as they just stopped to work at anytime! The room was really dirty! Dirty towels, dust everywhere, hair in the bathroom on the floor and in the bathtub. We stayed at the one in London and it was amazing, nothing to do with this one. When I mentioned it at receptionist he apologised and said he would pass the complaint to HK department. He also asked if we wanted to change room but with 2 little kids we had lots of stuff so we refused! We won’t be staying again sorry! Hygiene it’s a must in 2024!

Nice room, decent size. Biggest complaint is lack of AC in rooms. Do not believe what is listed on the hotel sites amenities. They have AC in the hallways and lobby but not actual working AC in the rooms. There is a control on the wall that does nothing. Room temp was about 26C/78F and humid. If the heat doesn't bother you then go for it!

We liked our stay. However, the biggest problem was our room (424). The A/C was constantly turning off and not turning back on automatically. We had to manually turn it back on each time. Also, the a/c air temperature was only slightly cool which caused the room to be constantly warm and uncomfortable. We were only staying 2 nights so we decided to grin and bear it.

Room looked tired, unwelcoming and was too small for a double and a single bed. Very cramped. Musty smell. Bathroom old and tired. It was really hot but AC didn’t work No hair dryer available I immediately called reception, was promised someone would bring yp an hairdryer and come to look at the AC but no one arrived. Left the room 45 mins later, went to reception and reported again. Receptionist again said she would request a hairdryer, and get someone to look at AC. Receptionist called me whilst out and said we would be re-roomed to floor 12. Had to pack and relocate ourselves at 11pm when we returned from a concert. Still no hairdryer in the room so receptionist asked again for this item. Minimal bar staff to serve drinks, uncomfortable seating in bar, with no ambience, not a welcoming environment. Breakfast disappointing. All in all, not the experience I would expect.

This is a well located, friendly but over priced and in poor condition hotel. The staff are wonderful, but the rooms are in a real need of updating / repair. The room didn’t feel clean at all. The breakfast was pretty poor, but edible. For the money I expected so much more given the part of the world it is in.

Agent said I would need to wait and speak to her colleague who had a big queue (she was doing nothing). Turned out when I did finally get to the front all I had to do was pick up a courtesy phone and call one myself. Why could she just not have told me that? As a result I was late for my appointment. Staff poor on both check-in and check-out. Seemed totally disinterested in the customer.

After more than an hour I went back to the front desk where the man who was now on the front desk lied to my face about it being fixed. When called out, no apology that he had lied. We ended up with a room change.

The hotel was conveniently priced in Southampton where many other hotels increase their prices exhorbitantly to cash in on those coming to Southamption during the cruising season to get on or off cruise liners - for others who just have to get on with life, the Leonardo offers an affordable and smart option, although its location on a traffic island with poor parking facilities probably explains why it is not a favourite for those who are arriving by car.

We’ve stayed at this property a few times now. We like it here as it’s really convenient for a night out in Southampton. Just a quick walk through a lovely park and you are in the heart of the city, convenient for the many pubs, bars restaurants and shops. Southampton guildhall and the Mayflower theatre are a stones throw away. The hotel is spacious, welcoming and clean . There is a bar and food if you want and breakfast all at an additional cost. The only downside is that it is on a busy road which at times can be noisy but that’s city life I suppose. Sometimes you can’t keep the windows open because of this and it gets a bit hot in the room. It does have air on but that’s a bit noisy too. Doesn’t put me off returning though as I feel this hotel is good value for money 😊

We were there for just one night, prior to a cruise. Getting a taxi the next morning was an issue, as there were 4 cruise ships in port. We were travelling with 4 others, so got 1 taxi for 2 and big luggage, and the rest of us walked to the terminal, a 45 minute walk. Weirdly, the hotel is in the middle of a traffic circle, easily crossed to a beautiful park, close to high street

Theres no parking apart from down the road. The hotel is in the middle of a traffic island. Homeless sleeping in the streets out side and a dodgy walk into town through a park if you are brave enough. I know Ill never stay here again
