Leonardo Hotel Bradford

Great hotel for the theatre and restaurants all very close to the hotel. Staff very pleasant and really helpful with a barman with a great personality and for whom nothing is too much trouble. Rooms absolutely spotless and well appointed. It would have been 5 stars but for the limited bar and restaurant opening times. Parking is at the NCP next door, a 30 seconds walk away and is £10 for 24 hours, really nice hotel and would definitely return

Our initial impression of this hotel was that we'd entered Fawlty Towers. We arrived the same time as a coach party. Even though we were the front of the queue the guy on the desk decided to serve the coach party first! Whilst waiting another guest came to reception to complain that that was the second room he was given that was already occupied (later we spoke to other guests who had also been given occupied rooms). After finally being served we went to our room to find, surprise, surprise, that that too was occupied! We were given another, unoccupied, room but we were left wondering whether another guest might be given our room whilst we were out and whether our possessions were safe. The room itself was nice, the beds were comfortable, although some of the pillows were old and lumpy and need replacing. The bathroom was clean and the water pressure in the shower was good. The public areas were clean and the bar and dining areas looked nice even though we didn't use them. After the initial frustrations we ultimately enjoyed our stay which is why I've given 4 stars instead of 3.

I've stayed in this hotel quite a few times and always enjoy my stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are a good size and equipped with everything you need with very comfortable beds. The tea and coffee in rooms are a little sparse and could do with being replenished with an easier system than having to down to reception to ask for these things . Definitely recommend staying here.

The Leonardo Hotel Bradford was an absolute disaster and ruined our family trip of 8. The food was disgusting, undercooked, and barely edible. One member of our group with a medical dietary requirement was ignored despite notifying the hotel in advance. Many of us were still hungry after dinner and had to buy another meal elsewhere. The staff were unfriendly and completely indifferent. Breakfast was chaos, with constantly empty trays, mugs, and glasses. There was no hairdryer in the room, and we were woken early by loud noise outside. Check-out was the final insult — the staff member didn’t say a word and simply pointed at the self check-out postbox. This hotel is shockingly mismanaged, unsafe for anyone with dietary needs, and utterly unacceptable. I would strongly warn anyone to avoid this hotel at all costs. We will never return.

We were a party of 3 and had 2 rooms. Spend one night at the hotel, thank god. The sewage stench in first room was unbearable. No way was we going to spend a night in that room. The bed was uncomfortable and the heating didn't work, and it was a very cold night. But a heater was provided, rather than another room. We raised our concerns on checkout but felt it wasn't worth our time. After all it was only one night. Won't be staying there again. Location is probably the only thing going for it.
