Leonardo Royal London St Paul's, Barbican

Stayed here for my hen night. The service was lovely, the staff were friendly and our room was upgraded to the executive suite with all of the perks. The spa is good but the jacuzzi gets filled quickly, and even though kids are not supposed to be in the jacuzzi, they were still in there. Overall, beautiful views, lovely vibe, and quiet part of London. We left feeling refreshed

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is simply perfect – we could easily reach everything on foot, and after a long search focused mainly on location, we are absolutely sure we made the right choice. The hotel itself is beautiful and very pleasant. Upon arrival, we were offered an upgrade for £20 per night, which included a lovely view of St. Paul’s Cathedral as well as access to the lounge. I can definitely recommend this option – throughout the day they serve a variety of snacks, drinks, wine, water, and juices. We never regretted choosing it! The reception staff were extremely kind and welcoming, as was everyone in the hotel. Our room was clean, spacious (especially by London standards), with a very comfortable bed. At check-in, we faced a small issue at the reception. When we were offered the upgrade, the staff forgot to remove us from the other room that had originally been reserved under our name. Because of this, our room was not cleaned for the first two days. We had to go down to reception to request cleaning and fresh towels. The reception team, however, was always very polite and friendly. Eventually, they realized the mistake themselves, and after that the problem never occurred again. Additionally, in our room there was one bathrobe with a hole in it, but after we asked at the reception, they quickly replaced it. Highly recommended – we would be happy to come back!

Chose the place for the pool/jacuzzi and incredible location. A bit wary because of all the fridge stories in comments, but this is getting fixed. We had free access to our fridge, and the minibar is replaced by a convenient store next to the reception. (leaving the fridge for your own products !) Service was great, especially from Amer & Mai. We were in a executive room and it was the quietest room I ever had in a hotel. Great sleeping conditions. Executive room gives access to a small lounge that had light breakfast options, and some snacks & drinks in the evening (evening cocktails for a few hours a day) which is included in the price of the room. Location is fabulous, multiple undergrounds/trains/bus nearby. 30 minutes walk from a lot of touristic places. Pool area is shared with spa subscribers and can be a bit crowded.
