I stayed in Flat #16, in the Annex building to the Leonard Hotel. Located in Braynston Street steps away from Oxford Street. 10/10 Location. The check in is at the hotel lobby, they help you with the luggage. The room was in the 3rd floor of the building, have in mind that you need to climb a lot of stairs, so avoid if you are elder, fat or just tired, the room is well equipped, there is a kitchen with stove, oven, fridge, furniture, a dining/tv room, a balcony, and 2 bedrooms with 2 very good queen sized beds. The bathrooms are ok too. heating was working well. Staff very friendly.
I stayed in a renovated Superior Classic Deluxe room. Even though there was surprising construction work being done while I stayed, I still enjoyed my time there. Thank you to Sara for amending a certain situation, Swetha & Nirmal for their lovely smiles & service, Hussein and Ujjal for prompt action & reaction to requests. You are all assets to this hotel.
I would like to sincerely thank Sara at The Leonardo Hotel for her excellent hospitality. She is extremely professional, kind, and genuinely supportive, and she made a real difference during my stay. I would also like to recognize Ujjal, Valentina, Hussein, and Haseeb for their professionalism and helpful attitude. Their support and dedication truly reflect the high standards of service at the hotel. Thank you all for making the experience a pleasant one
The hotel is very beautiful, clean, and comfortable. One thing I really appreciated is that they have a bidet spray in the bathroom, which is rare to find in many hotels. I would also like to give a special thanks to Wetha. She truly made our stay wonderful with her kind and helpful service. She deserves all the appreciation.
It was a wonderful experience in every sense. The hotel gives you a warm and welcoming feeling, and the décor takes you back to a beautiful, old historical era. The hotel staff are friendly and make you feel as if you are at home. The hotel’s location is close to Hyde Park and the markets, and you can easily walk there. I would definitely repeat the experience.
Stayed for 6 nights with family and one of the best stays in London!Rooms are spacious and got a complimentary upgrade to one of the new rooms and honestly that made our stay the best! Breakfast options are good and rooms have bidet which was one of the best aspects ! Staffs are professional and no requests are too much for them! Always have a smile and ready to help no matter what! Thank you team for giving us a wonderful stay! We are surely coming back!
I wanted to surprise my parents and treat them to a special place to stay. I was a bit hesitant at first after reading some mixed reviews, but in the end, I decided to give it a try and… it turned out to be the best choice ever!!! We booked a Superior Deluxe room, but were pleasantly upgraded to a Suite. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the decor was stunning! The common areas were beautifully decorated, with a cosy and festive Christmas atmosphere. A true boutique hotel, elegantly designed in a classic British style. What truly made our stay unforgettable, however, was the kindness of the staff. Always smiling and ready to help, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Swetha and Niemal were especially wonderful, attentive, and full of warmth :) If I come back to London, I will 100% recommend this place—it genuinely felt like home !
I recently stayed in one of the apartments at the Leonard Hotel and had a truly wonderful experience. The apartment was very comfortable, bathrooms were modern, and the location couldn’t be better, perfect for exploring London. As a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur, I don’t say this lightly: I honestly haven’t had a better cortado. Their made-to-order breakfast was equally impressive- delicious, wholesome, and clearly prepared with care. What really sets the Leonard Hotel apart is its old British charm, something that’s increasingly rare and often missing from modern London hotels. Being just a short walk from Hyde Park and Oxford Street was an added bonus. The staff were exceptionally friendly, personable and made my stay incredibly comfortable from start to finish. I would recommend the Leonard Hotel to anyone looking for character, comfort, and a fantastic central location.
Prosperous residential area, home to chic boutiques & restaurants, plus waxworks at Madame Tussauds.
