Leonardo Hotel Bradford

“A very pleasant welcoming hotel well placed for amenities”

On arrival there were three ladies attending to us at reception! All very pleasant. The room was pleasant, with comfy beds and a fluffy pillows. Plenty of towels and very clean. I would have preferred a shower at my age of 76, but the bath was not too high. We only visited the bar once, just to d… more

On arrival there were three ladies attending to us at reception! All very pleasant. The room was pleasant, with comfy beds and a fluffy pillows. Plenty of towels and very clean. I would have preferred a shower at my age of 76, but the bath was not too high. We only visited the bar once, just to drink and not eat. Again service excellent and the young lady could not do enough for us and other customers. No need to tinkle bell for service! The hotel is very convenient, a short walk from the Interchange rail station, and close to several places to eat. Wetherspoon is a short walk away as is the excellent chippy, the In Plaice. One doe have to be fond of traditional dripping cooked chips! Excellent value compared to many chippies we have in Lancashire. Many places, eg a Tesco and St John's Market are up a hill. Bradford, like many a town is built on hills. The Broadway Centre is a short flat walk away. Centenary Square, where Wetherspoon is, together with Nando's etc., is busy, with many "characters", some not particularly amenable, shall we say. However, I saw no real bad behaviour, just the usual beggars we see all too often in large cities and towns. They will not be welcome in the 2025 City of Culture; there is much work going on the "tart up" the area in the centre, with flagged areas etc.

Just returned from a Caledonian trip and we were very impressed with every aspect of this hotel, lovely clean room with super comfy bed and the bottles of water were a lovely addition. Our room 729 was so nice we wished we could have stayed longer. The evening meal provided was lovely too and the staff super efficient and friendly. Well done everyone. Will certainly recommend to others.

“Not the best hotel”

My wife and I stayed at the Leonardo Hotel, Bradford on 6th September for one night whilst attending a nearby event.

My wife and I stayed at the Leonardo Hotel, Bradford on 6th September for one night whilst attending a nearby event. We arrived at the hotel at 14.15 and we were met by a friendly receptionist and our room was available. All the staff we met were friendly. The room itself was a typical old Jury’s Inn standard double room. Usual facilities, TV, iron and board and tea and coffee. But why do hotels in Yorkshire not have Yorkshire tea instead of boring PG tips and boring Kenco coffee? Also, three pillows for two guests? I know you can ask for more but you shouldn’t have to! Overall, the hotel met our needs for one night but wouldn’t want to stay there any longer. I don’t know how this hotel can be classed as a four star hotel. Three star at the most. Would we stay again? Definitely not.
