"Our stay at the Leonardo was perfect, the staff was so helpful, it's in a great location to get anywhere in the city, and the place felt quite quiet for being so centrally located. So glad we added the breakfast every day, the selection was great and it saved us having to find new places to eat every morning during our week long stay."

"We enjoyed our stay for the most part, only iffy experience was during breakfast and one lady got a little attitude when I asked to get breakfast for the day and she just kept telling me to go to the reception desk even though I had purchased at the little stand the day before. The food for breakfast was very yummy! The only thing I wish they had was a bigger concession stand with more drink options instead of a vending machine with only about 5 sodas and Gatorade and the water that tastes very minerally."
