March 2024I had the best stay here with a friend. All staff were helpful and friendly, very attentive staff in breakfast room. The breakfast selection was endless and great value for money. The room was clean and well equipped and lovely decor with views of the cruise ships. The pool was an added bonus. I would definitely stay in a Leonardo hotel again.

February 2024WOW..This hotel was by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The service and staff were brilliant and so friendly. We stayed for one night for our wedding anniversary and the room was arranged so beautifully with petals on our bed and towels in the shapes of swans. The little touches were also so lovely and we didn't expect any of that so thank you so much for making our stay special. The room was absolutely beautiful, clean and huge! The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was lovely and the hotel is central to everything you need! We will definitely be returning hopefully soon! Thank you again for the best hotel stay we've experienced.

February 2024Lovely hotel, really nice atmosphere and staff. Very clean. Stayed in a superior double room and it was just perfect, everything as advertised. Didn't have dinner in the restaurant but did have breakfast and it was delicious, really big choice of food, again very clean and well presented. The only down side is the pool. It is very shallow, bit outdated and could do with a deep clean. The jacuzzi was also broken when we stayed. To get to the pool you have to walk down a steep spiral staircase - bare foot if you forget to bring sliders/slippers. It is a couple of steps away from West Quay shopping centre, loads of shops and food places within walking distance which is perfect.

March 2024Overwhelmed with the treatment we always receive when staying at the Grand Harbour/Leonardo Royal. On our most recent stay we received a complementary upgrade to exec room 252. The room/balcony provides fantastic panoramic views of the city and the harbour. The room itself very spacious and clean with complementary water. In the room there was a lovely note from the hotel manager next to some gifts that had been left for us and a invitation for a complementary drink in the hotel bar. The bar was very quiet (winter Wednesday night) but a chilled place to hang out, with friendly and attentive bar staff. Check in and out very smooth (you can opt to do both online) Location of the hotel is great, with good value parking option (especially if paid in advance). The hotel is easy walking distance to the city centre. I recommend a trip to the spa area which is included in the price of the stay. They have a pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. All well maintained and clean. Tip: bring pound coins for the lockers. There is also a gym, looks well equipped (albiet through the window, never used it 🙂) Thanks to the whole team for another nice stay!

March 2024Booked for 4 nights in February as a spa break. Unfortunately the spa pool ended up being replaced on the Monday we was there, on the Tuesday the pool was also shut. Please let people know of this work, maybe add it to your site beforehand so they are aware, as it makes a big difference when you a looking for a pool and spa pool to relax in on your break. The rest of the hotel was lovely, room was fantastic, spacious and very clean. Had a side sea view which was lovely. Restaurant and bar very nice, food was pricey but good. Hotel is in a great location, lots of options for parking. Red jet and ferry terminal to isle of wight 5 minutes walk away. West Quay shopping centre multi storey very cheap for long term parking. Shout out to Sylvia one of the cleaning team, fantastic lady, very proud of hotel and we had a lovely chat. Would definitely go again but hope the pool and spa is open on the next break.
