Horrible Room and Customer Service

We booked two standard room and got the only two rooms located near the kitchen at the end of a hall. (We’re guessing now that they were former storage areas.) The “view” was of abandoned equipment outside our window and we had to listen to a door slamming all night long. One room was so small two people couldn’t pass at the end of the bed! Turns out the door was in the kitchen and only required the slow-catch device be repaired (which took 2 minutes!) Our complaint in the morning was met with “we gave you a standard room” with no recognition that being able to sleep was a reasonable expectation. We were offered an upgrade for a second night, but based on the lack of concern about our first night we opted to leave instead. We did request to be comp’ed breakfast at the buffet and were granted that, which was inadequate compensation for the horrible experience and poor attitude of the manager. When asked where we could submit a complaint and request compensation, he gave us the info and said, “it’s just going to come back to me and there’s nothing more I can do for you.” Really?!? The lack of concern for our experience was astonishing.

The staff were very hospitable and made my stay enjoyable. They gave me a map and recommended me a list of the different places to visit depending on what i’d be interested in such as pubs with traditional Irish music and place open late night. My room was surprisingly on the ground floor which actually provided a nice view of the bridge and the river flowing by the Spanish arch. The room also had high ceilings, a security safe and was clean with all the toiletries needed. I recommend this hotel as it’s location is within walking distance to the train and bus depot, and you can literally step outside and be a 5 second walk from the popular Quay street with lovely buskers, great food and vibrant pubs. Thank you again to the staff at the Leonardo, you were all great and I had a wonderful time in your city.

Bed and linens were great and the shower was good. The staff were interacted with at the front desk and the bar were lovely. You cannot beat the location. On the downside, the little sofa in the room was stained and we had no wifi. I let the front desk know and they said they’d take care of it. There is a convenient adjoining public parking garage which we got a €12 discounted rate for but you will need to lug the suitcases down some stairs to get to the hotel lobby. Overall, with a few things that could be improved, we had a nice stay.

A great hotel and perfect location.

Great location for our family. We loved our room - large enough for 3 adults. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful. There was a bar in the hotel and we visited it and had a great cocktail.

Property and check in were great. The room was nice and clean, the only issue we had was that our room was ground level facing the road and it was quite loud at night. Luckily, we had ear plugs, so be sure to have some. Otherwise, great place to stay, especially the location.

Nice hotel in a convenient, beautiful location. Room was comfortable and clean, staff was helpful. The room with a view of the water was worth the price. No onsite laundry rooms just a service you can use to send out the laundry (expensive prices and they charge per clothing item).
Front of the hotel (in the background)  is within a block of The Spanish Arch.
