Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront

Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for one night and had a fantastic experience. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms were spotless, and the facilities were excellent, particularly the pool and spa. The location is perfect, right on Brighton seafront and ideally situated for exploring the area. Another bonus is the convenient public underground car park, which offers discounted rates for hotel guests. Overall, a really enjoyable stay and we would definitely recommend this hotel. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!"
