The location was excellent-within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and entertainment, which made exploring the area very convenient.

However, for a property categorized as a boutique hotel, we were disappointed by the lack of basic amenities and the overall maintenance and cleanliness standards. Unlike most boutique hotels we have stayed at, the room only provided a generic soap, with no shampoo, conditioner, or body lotion. The bathroom trash can was extremely small and unfortunately appeared moldy. We also missed the usual comforts commonly offered even by standard hotels, such as plush towels, bathrobes, slippers, and small bathroom essentials like cotton swabs, cotton pads, or a shower cap.

Additionally, the coffee table in the room was broken, and housekeeping service was inconsistent. On several occasions, the coffee mugs were not cleaned or replaced, and additional coffee supplies and stirrers were not replenished. Overall, the room did not appear to be cleaned thoroughly, as we noticed dirty spots on the mirrors and in the bathroom area.

Most concerning was the strong sewage smell that we experienced every day upon returning to our room, and sometimes even in other parts of the hotel. Unfortunately, this made our stay far less pleasant than we had hoped. While the hotel has a great
location and some thoughtful design elements, the lack of cleanliness, maintenance, amenities, and comfort didn't meet our expectations for a boutique hotel experience.

Great location! Hotel is situated perfectly for everywhere of interest. Ease of access to transportation. Safe and friendly neighbourhood.
It was loud at times having a room with a balcony that looked out onto the square - but was worth it for the views. Breakfast was always plentiful and a great selection. The pillows are questionable able in the room but did the trick. Shower and bathroom huge! Housekeeping was regular and always did a great job.
All in all a very solid choice of hotel if you wish to be near everything but

Had a great stay. Location perfect for transportation and walkable. The only issue we had was an hour before our check in on route to the hotel we were notified they could no longer accommodate us and they moved us to a new location in their chair (further from city). Being confused, we made our way to the hotel to find out more but during arrival/check-in nothing was mentioned by staff and our reservation remained unchanged. Our check in was smooth from that point so confused is an accurate description of the events. Apart from that our stay was great. Staff was super friendly and helpful!

Usually impressed with leonardo however experience at this one was disappointing and so leaving my first ever review! Arrived and the booked, paid for room with terrace was unavailable, told sorry can't do anything, ended up emailing head office and suddenly a room was available to move into after 1100 the next day (3 night break, lost an evening and impacted a day immediately having to move). Didn't receive paid for room. Room was okay, but needs a refresh, walls and carpet all marked, bathroom shower area all needs a clean as mould and shower heads leaking (both rooms we were in were like this). No milk for tea/coffee provided and bring your own hairdryer- the one in the comfort room was unusable. one of the 8 usb ports worked- and why is there one plug for lamp, coffee machine and kettle- i was crawling under the desk constantly to use different appliances! Terrace floor tiles loose/uneven/broken, and one seat was broken in half so not to be sat on. Outside the room lobby was okay and clean- lift rails however hanging off! Also be aware that comfort room we were put in first of all was at the front and so was noisy as overlooking square. Disappointing stay which hopefully leonardo can rectify as never had this before with these hotels.

This was one of two Leonardo's I stayed in on my trip and both were superb they are now a top brand I will look for.

The receptionist was extremely rude and unhelpful. During our stay, a fire alarm went off, and several scared guests crowded in the lobby. He did nothing to ease our stress and if anything exacerbated it - he dismissed everyone’s worries as if we were crazy for being concerned, refused to call the fire brigade, refused to call the manager, and at one point left the lobby full of scared and confused guests because he was “stressed” and “needed to take a smoke break.” We explained to him multiple times that he had to call the fire brigade for us, as no guests spoke Hungarian and thus could not communicate with the firemen. He continued to refuse, stating that it was a crime to call the fire brigade (50-2000 euro fine, to be exact) when there was no fire. We asked how he was certain there was no fire, and he replied that the alarm went off due to steam coming from a shower. We asked him how he knew this, as he was not a fireman, and he snapped back that we were not firemen either. He continued to refuse to call the fire brigade even as we showed him the employee handbook and found the Hungarian fire safety laws and read them to him out loud to demonstrate that there was no fine. Overall, we would not stay here again. He was rude, condescending, inconsiderate, inhospitable, and should be fired. The hotel should strongly consider updating their fire safety instructions for employees, as this young man’s understanding of fire safety protocols and Hungarian law was lacking.

The fire alarm went off the first night and we were told it was a problem next door. Our room was still not done at 2 in the afternoon when we wanted a siesta and were told if it wasn’t done by 4 to let them know. They did fix it for us quickly when I asked again.
They offer a mulled wine greeting drink which is nice and a coffee/ cake station throughout the day but don’t clear away the dirty plates etc. I feel they’re trying, but it is overpriced for what they offer.
