What guests think

At Leonardo Hotel East Midlands Airport - On-Site, travellers praise the walkable airport location and generally friendly, efficient staff, with many finding clean, comfortable stays that work well for early departures or late arrivals.

However, repeated comments note no lift for upper floors, occasional leisure-pool closures for lessons or maintenance, and dining that can feel limited or pricey with mixed quality. Room experiences vary: some are spacious and quiet, but others mention thin walls, dated bathrooms, hard pillows or mattresses, and rooms that run cool until heating is adjusted. Overall, expect a convenient airport stopover with dependable basics rather than a luxury stay.

The hotel pool was not available Sunday morning due to private lessons. One of the main reasons for choosing this hotel was to use the pool. Disappointed to be honest.

Nice well kept property near the airport . The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable . The only downside is the hotel hasn’t got a lift , rather difficult if you have to carry your own luggage.

We actually chose to stay there because the hotel had a swimming pool. However we did not know that the pool would be closed because it was being used for swimming lessons!

Gorgeous hotel, generous sized rooms, with ability to include parking with your stay Car parking is on site, and airport terminal building is a gentle 5-7 minute stroll and visible from hotel. Staff are pleasant, bar is well priced to say it’s located on an airport, and food very reasonably priced again compared to what you’d get in the terminal Buffet hit breakfast, £13 per adult if you pre pay at reception, as of last week (April 2024). We have stayed previously and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again

I got changed to use the pool to find that the lockers required a padlock. I didnt have one and the hotel doesn't provide one. Attendant offered to look after my belongings. Nice chap but he is a complete stranger. In this age of identity theft. Poor showing. Had to get dressed and leave without using the pool.

Very short overnight stay prior to catching flight very early next day. Check in fine, room fine, restaurant good - better than most in-hotel restaurants. Within walking distance (slightly uphill) of terminal. Only negative is lack of lift to access upper floor.

Nice stay. The bed was a bit uncomfortable but for what we needed for one night it was fine. Swimming baths were a plus

Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Breakfast provided offered a wide range of choice. Full English breakfast was very good. The accommodation was more than adequate and was spacious and freshly clean. The only criticism is the lack of a lift to the rooms. Having to carry travel luggage up the stairs and down again on check out, without staff assistance, could be difficult for some.

My visit to that specific hotel was it was in close proximity to everywhere I needed to travel during my stay. The hotel staff were indeed very polite and helpful. Bearing in mind that the hotel is located right next to the East Midlands Airport. The hotel food and bar prices were terrific given the quality of the produce and wonderful service. The cleanliness of the hotel and room was spotless. I do intend to return later this year and this hotel will be my first choice as to where to stay.

Ideal location to walk to and from the airport. Had stayed prior to our flight and left vehicle at the hotel. Upon returning after 1.30am which i'd noted would be late checking in on the booking was advised by the night receptionist that we were down as a no show due to arriving after 1am (check in on booking is from 3pm to anytime) given a room on the 1st floor which was accessible to one of our party due to disabilities, there is no lift just a steep flight of stairs. After a few moments was given another room as far as possible from reception a massive hike at almost 2am and trying to get luggage to the room without disturbing anyone else. Wasnt offered to upgrade to habe breakfast, which was offered on our first stay Overall nice hotel, night staff left a lot to desire but location, price and convenience mean that it would still be a great choice for a short stay before or after using east midlands Airport. Just be careful to make sure late arrivals dont get cancelled as a no show! Never had this before especially in a location where late night arrving flights is a common occurance

It's location right outside the airport makes it the ideal choice when departing early or arriving late. The online check-in meant that I literally just picked up my key at reception and was in my room within 5mins of leaving the airport building. Very clean and comfortable and will definitely use again.
