Disappointing

Disappointing. Tried on two separate evenings to contact Room Service and, failing that, Reception from room phone. No answer on either occasion. The room was up a flight of 10 stairs. I was not made aware of possible accessibility issues before arrival and found this challenging which for a "superior" room is not good enough. I had difficulty finding help with my case and struggled with the stairs. Having said that the staff with whom I interacted were, on the whole, very nice and the food, when I finally got it, was fine. TV offerings very poor. Just not good enough for an allegedly highly rated hotel. (Edinburgh, Murrayfield)

Get shafted @ Leonardo Boutique hotels

Nothing like making a booking that the hotel gets wrong & when they kindly promise to re-imburse they actually change the facts so that they don’t have to re-imburse the customers. When you know you were at the hotel at 10am to check in & you’re told that you got the date wrong & then you see that they update Booking in the afternoon as a ‘no show’. I don’t know why Booking wants to list such hotels on their database when such bad service from the hotel reflects badly known them as well.

SEAFOS DOES NOT OPERATE LIKE A 5 STAR HOTEL

While checking into my suite at the SEAFOS Luxury Resort & Spa Hotel in Nafplio, Greece the Security Guard/Reception Staff negligently directed my partner and I to park in an area incapable of safely accommodating our Van, resulting in substantial damage to the body panels of our vehicle. Following the damage to our vehicle I confronted the hotel Mgr. (Vasilis Keritis) who agreed that his staff was negligent and that he was willing to do what was necessary to restore our vehicle. Yet the following day, when I inquired how the SEAFOS Hotel was going to arrange payment for the repairs necessary to fix our van , Vasilis Keritis reversed his position claiming his staff was not at fault. Out of hundreds of hotels I've stayed, throughout 55+ different countries, this is BY FAR THE WORSE ONE YET!!!

Terrible refund policy

If you book with Leonardo hotels, be careful. They offer refunds, but it might be easier to get blood out of a stone than it is to get a refund from this group. Quick to take the money (When there was no need to) but will take forever to refund, you even have to prove the money has left your account! Lovely experience (not) won't be booking again.

Leonardo City Hotel

Stayed here as a little break myself. The hotel, bar, pool etc were all lovely. My room was beautiful, I knew I wouldn't have much of a view for my room type but it was pleasant enough. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The lobby was lovely and always very clean. The staff at check in were very friendly too. A minute from the tube and only 10 from the sky garden. Would definitely stay here again. Downsides: Room service didn't answer and I booked a treatment which was lovely but lasted 70 rather than 100 minutes and I feel for what this cost, it was a little poor, but the treatment was lovely.

Awful experience

Awful experience! Stayed here for our anniversary. Spent a lot of money in the hotel. Damp patch on the ceiling which was dripping through. The mini bar In the hotel room didn’t open, after paying £50 per night (3 nights - £150.00) which we were promised would be refunded back in to our account after 24 hours. It is now 4 weeks later, after calls, emails and reviews and I have still not received Our £150.00. They have stolen from us! SCAM! I am still waiting to hear back from someone who is willing to help from this company. DO NOT STAY HERE! I have seen many reviews with the same issue.

Leonardo Royal Hotel London Tower Bridge.

Stayed there this last weekend in the london tower bridge hotel. Positives: everything was tidy and such a nice looking hotel. Had a mini balcony which wasn’t expected. Also the bed was huge and extremely comfy. The spa was nice and hygienic and very nicely set out. Didn’t get to use the gym however it looked a decent size and the equipment looked good also. Also received complimentary waters in the room. negatives: The bath didn’t work (the plug). The spare pillow was going mouldy of some form whatever it was it wasn’t normal. There wasn’t enough pillows to begin with on the bed- for my personal preference. There wasn’t enough milk for the coffee as we stayed two nights. We wanted to order a bottle of wine on our last night however the room service wasn’t answering and we rang multiple times. Sometimes the spa could be packed with kids and families so they should give separate times for couples and families to go in as it would be more relaxing for us couples. And lastly the fridge didn’t work however I didn’t know whether this may have been because of covid. Who knows???

Cancelled but no refund given

Booked through Booking.com on 12/8/21, payment taken 16/8/21. Cancelled 31/8/21 due to change of circumstances. No refund on credit card despite email from Booking.com confirming cancellation. Email from Booking.com said to contact the hotel direct which I did. Told that the booking had not been cancelled and they could not cancel it - it had to be cancelled through Booking.com. I confirmed that this had been done and I had evidence of this. I was told to wait while this person asked the team and came back to tell me to phone the same number and press Option "0" which I did. All this did was repeat the Menu selection over and over and finally cut me off. I have since contacted my Visa card and put a dispute on the payment already taken. Not impressed and would never recommend this hotel

Then was woken at 5.45 because of a fire alarm , no. Shower gel in the bathroom , bed sheets had hole in although the bed was comfortable.would not stay there again and would have had a better stay at a premier inn for half the money. staff wasn’t very helpful either

Disgusting mould and terrible customer service

Leonardo Royal London St Pauls Team - Jurys Inn & Leonardo Hotels UK and Ireland When checking in we paid £50 incase we used the mini bar and were told this would be returned when checking out if not used. We did not use the mini bar and asked for the refund at check out. Staff told us it would be returned within 3-5 days. It’s now been two weeks and still nothing refunded. Even after calling the hotel multiple times. How can they get away with that? They’ve now stolen that £50 from us. What a scam!! When packing up to leave the morning of checking out, I opened the curtains and found extreme mould on the backside of the room curtains. This is a major health concern. We were breathing in mould spurs all night. We immediately showed the photos to the check in staff member who asked for the room number (232) and said we were done checking out. We were shocked they did not refer us to a manager or comment further on a severe health and safety issue. Had we noticed sooner we would have asked to move rooms immediately. I'm concerned about the hotel cleaning protocols in general after seeing something this severe has not been noticed or dealt with. It was absolutely disgusting!! We have contacted the hotel and their parent company multiple times and have only received standard responses with nothing else. I hoped my concerns would be dealt with efficiently but have been left with no response and am therefore leaving reviews in hopes it will bring some resolution to the situation. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone – this hotel has major health hazards and steals your money!! Do not stay here.

Aggressive customer service

My partner and I are members of the gym at Leonardo Southampton. Today I tried to complain regarding the gym being left in a mess. My partner had to tidy away weights while I removed a coffee cup that was left on the floor. We noticed that since the promotion to gain new members, the gym has become more messy and very few people were tidying up or cleaning down the machines. The gym also has 3 machines ( in a very small gym) that have broken since we joined, that take at least a month to repair. The gym has also had a leak from the air conditioning since we joined. I tried to explain this to the gym manager but we were met by a very rude and l aggressive response. The manager merely shrugged her shoulders and said she couldn’t do anything about it. When I pressed her on the cost we pay for membership compared to larger gyms, and they fact we left those gyms for the experience of a more exclusive gym…she once again shrugged her shoulders and said we could cancel with 30 days notice. As members…we have always been polite and courteous…never complaining but today…we hoped for a more constructive answer to our issues. It would seem the gym manager does not hold the customer service attitude we expected from a more exclusive club. We are now left with no other option but to cancel as she didn’t give us any other means to address concerns. PS we pay 70 quid a month for the tiniest gym…dirty changing rooms and mouldy pool area and sauna. We really didn’t want to join pure gym so we gave it a shot. I could cope with the facilities as they are but the customer service is diabolical.

Mould, poor customer service, and they will not refund my deposit

Leonardo Royal London St Pauls Team - Jurys Inn & Leonardo Hotels UK and Ireland At check in I was asked if I would pay a £50 deposit for possible room service or mini bar usage. I paid (employee took £50 from my Debit Card, it was not a credit card pre-auth), however did not use the mini bar or room service. I stayed one night on Friday July 30. Upon check out I asked for my £50 refund and was told it would be refunded within 3 days. It is now 16 August with no refund. I have called 4 times and left my number with a staff members who have assured me a manager will look into the issue but have heard nothing and had no refund. When packing up to leave on the morning of Saturday July 31 I opened the curtains and found extreme mould on the backside of the room curtains. This is a major health concern. We (I stayed overnight with my sister to celebrate our birthdays) were breathing in mould spurs all night. We immediately showed the photos to the check in staff member who asked for the room number (232) and said we were done checking out. We were shocked they did not refer us to a manager or comment further on a severe health and safety issue. Had we noticed sooner we would have asked to move rooms immediately. I'm concerned about the hotel cleaning protocols in general after seeing something this severe has not been noticed or dealt with. I have contacted the hotel and their parent organization Jury's Inn on all channels. I received one response on email and one on twitter saying I would receive a further response urgently and have heard nothing. I stated that if I need to follow a formal complaints policy with different action, to please send me the policy. I hoped my concerns would be dealt with efficiently but have been left with no response and am therefore leaving reviews in hopes it will bring some resolution to the situation. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone – the room was a health hazard. The shower was also broken (had multiple nozzles and only one was working) with very weak water pressure and there was no hand soap in the bathroom – especially with Covid this is a major concern.
