Nice quiet hotel. Comfortable bed and clean rooms/bathrooms. The breakfast buffet was fine. Hotel was quite busy, in spite of the rainy weather.

There is a convenient convenience store right next door, helpful for those late night cravings.

We checked in about 2100 and the front desk clerk was just not the friendliest as what you would expect from a hospitality service. She didn't provide any information regarding breakfast, or the restaurant facilities, or about parking or anything really. Just gave us the room card and that was it. The food options at the restaurant was poor. Just a few options for a pizza which I'm pretty sure was not fresh, but pulled from a box. The hotel room was very nice and clean and plenty of parking spaces were available in the garage for a cost of 15 euros. Would have like to have a few more amenities in the hotel room, like, lotions, shower cap, etc. The location of the hotel is also nice. The clerk in the morning was very friendly and courteous. I would probably stay again.

Impeccably clean and well taken care of hotel, very friendly staff, wide selection of food both for buffet breakfast and at the restaurant. Free street parking is easy to find. The only thing I’d like to see change is how loud the toilet flushes. I shared a room with two family members and wouldn’t want to wake anyone up by flushing too loudly.

Average comfy hotel with very helpful service and staff. Cigarette and beer vending machines were faulty, as were the intermittent elevator buttons. Nice cozy bar are rooms are very clean. Great cozy and economic hotel overall. Amenities include coffee, mini fridge, and security safe. Beautiful 1 hr walk to Marienplatz is a must with tons of statues and structures to take pictures of! That's a must see! Perhaps best bang per buck on a budget. Make sure you book breakfast as it is not complimentary. Enjoy your stay!

The property was in a nice and quiet area. Our room was in good condition and clean. The staff was courteous and helpful. This hotel is not in the center city. It is a 15-20 minute walk to the Arabella Station. The walk itself if through a residential neighborhood or park (depending which way you take). Outside the hotel there are cabs and scooters that you can rent. Next to the Arabella Station there is an open shopping area with restaurants, cafe, supermarket, etc. which was very convenient for us. If you don't mind the 15 minute walk, I would recommend this property.

This is a great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. On the first night, we ate in the restaurant and the food was of excellent quality and extremely reasonable in price. My one wish would be to move the smoking area to the side as people cluster at the front near the door and it does not show the hotel off to its best.

I have stayed at the Leonardo hotels in Munich 3 times now recently and I must say that the breakfast offer has always been spectacular! Staff are always quite nice.

This time, however, I had a bit of a problem with the facilities. I was 'upgraded' to a deluxe room in Bavarian style and it was so absolutely dreadful and the stench of old stale smoke so overwhelming (it was probably a smoking room up to who knows when and the unrenovated carpet and upholstery and wood cabinets were just permeated with cigarette smoke) that I went downstairs to get downgraded to a room that didn't stink.

All that was an unnecessary hassle. But actually necessary because I was already getting a terrible headache from the smell. I was happy to get a much smaller room than I had originally expected.

Second disappointment was that the fitness room was unavailable, but no note on the website or information about the closure. Apparently the reason why was because there was dripping water.

But of course, the location is excellent and the breakfast is simply outstanding. And thank goodness they found me a smaller room that was smoke free.

All in all, I'll be back because of the location, the decent rooms and of course for breakfast. Highlight of my stay every time... 😅

Not the normal service

We have stayed here many times over the years and this was the most disappointing stay.
Upon checking in we were asked if room service could be done every other day. We agreed and the first day of expected service was fine but then we did not receive the second expected day of service.
I did make a mistake in booking. Thought I booked six nights but actually did five nights.
The night clerk on the last night was very nice and accommodating in arranging the last night.
But earlier in the day the staff did not notify us of the fact. This led to two times having to get a new key.
The other thing is they claimed that we owed for two breakfasts when we did not use the service.
As I said this was the first time we had issues with the Leonardo.
Hopefully this will not happen again.

The hotel was far enough away from the city to be very quiet, but also in easy walking distance of buses or trains to get into the Octoberfest within 15 mins.

Definitely would come back here again, possibly next year.

leaking bathroom ceiling, moldy smell

Reserved two nights but requested an extra night one day early. Cost for extra day was more than the other two nights. They didn't have our breakfast and required we pay again for the two nights. On the last night, water was pouring from our bathroom ceiling (had to wear a towel on your head to use toilet). Also, bathroom smelled of mold, was much more noticeable when water started pouring down. Hotel offered no compensation. Staff had zero authority for any decisions. Would not recommend or stay here again. Pay the extra and stay at the Sheraton, its by the U-bahn and much nicer.

Our check-in went fine, except that upon entering the room we realized the room was not what we had booked. After contacting the front desk, it turned out that the room configuration we had requested did not exist at the hotel. This was not picked up on by Expedia or the hotel, so I had a complaint about that--front desk staff helped with a solution and were polite. The hotel is not close to downtown and is a half-hour drive from the airport. Rooms are not large but were clean. Beds were comfortable and the area was pretty quiet. There are two restaurants in the hotel - one serves the buffet breakfast but is not open for any other meals. The buffet was large and quite good. The bar is open for dinner and while the menu selection was not huge, the food was good and the staff attentive. I would recommend this hotel as long as being very close to downtown (i.e.-Marienplatz) is important to you. If you have a room request with any hotel, contact them directly. Expedia does not appear to check or flag these in any way.

Good location

The Leonardo hotel is well located just to the north of the city centre. It's about a 15 minute walk from the nearest U-bahn station and about 20 minutes from the fabulous Englischgarten. The hotel is tidy and smart without being particular spectacular. We had a family room and it was just about big enough for the four of us. Our room was clean and comfortable but the airconditioning struggled to cope with the very high temperatures that Munich was experiencing during our stay. There's a bar / restaurant on the first floor, but it only serves pizzas in the evening. Overall, it's a decent hotel in a decent location, for a decent price.
