Mixed feelings about this stay. Postive points, room was clean but, the carpet could do with being washed as there were wine stains etc on it. Every member of staff were helpful and friendly, great assett to the hotel. Breakfast was good too. Negative points, the aforementiond carpet in the room needs cleaned. The hotel bar doesnt open till 3pm when the hotel is virtually fully booked, doesnt make good business sense and, the bar is closed at midnight bearing in mind, we were staying on a Saturday night. Public toilets could be cleaned/checked more frequently.

2 out of 5 — Mixed Experience at the Leonardo Hotel Middlesbrough We stayed at the Leonardo Hotel in Middlesbrough recently, and while there were a few positives, overall the experience left quite a bit to be desired. Check-in: The check-in process started off well — the lady at reception was friendly and polite. However, she didn’t really explain much about the facilities or hotel procedures. I asked about car parking and was told I could pay on checkout, but when it came time to leave, the lady on the desk seemed confused as to why I hadn’t paid up front. That lack of consistency left a bit of a poor impression. Spa and Pool Area: The swimming pool itself seemed to have a lot of chlorine — so much that our eyes were burning while in the water. The young lady on reception for the spa area didn’t seem very interested in helping guests at all. She spent most of the time playing on her phone with her feet up on the desk, which came across as quite unprofessional. It was also confusing that towels for the pool were kept behind the main hotel reception rather than in the spa area itself — there didn’t seem to be any reason for this setup. When we asked where to return our used towels afterwards, we were vaguely told “over there on the right,” with no clear direction. When we had to ask again, her tone turned noticeably sharp and dismissive. Room: The room itself was okay in size but very dated. It looked like it hadn’t had a proper refresh in quite some time — bits of mould

The ladies in breakfast service were fabulous and friendly, and provided vegan sausages on request, which always makes for a better experience. Not sure I appreciated the alarm in the room being sounded twice at 10.50am as if to say ‘checkout is at 11am’, which we were aware of. Not the greatest location, with those afflicted by drug addiction hanging outside the reception lobby, and the obvious signs of neglect for this once thriving town. I remember the Dragonara Hotel days, when this place was the height of luxury.

Not a good value for money

The hotel is quite expensive, but is rather outdated, and not the best value for money. Location is wonderful though, just next to the train station.

Very disappointing on every level unfortunately!

Arrived at 8:00pm, rooms not ready, checked in by duty manager who was family rude, only one lift working so waits if up to 15 minutes per fill, asked for more pillows, twice but never arrived, hall way very noisy with slamming doors and shouting and finally asked for poached eggs at breakfast to be told they’d be 30 minutes so didn’t bother, just not a good experience, chose Leonardo because of previous experiences, they were not like this though!! Don’t stay here!!!!

I didn’t like to stay in this hotel because it was not clean at all. The floor was very very sticky. The carpet I mean the bathroom was not clean at all and the furniture is in the room wherever I was touching. It was fully dusted.
