Myself and my 2 daughters had a 3 night stay at The Royal Leonardo Hotel for my 60th birthday. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was immaculate with very comfortable king sized beds. The hotel sits on the seafront and is perfect for accessing the many bars and restaurants nearby and has direct access to The Lanes. We will definitely return for another stay very soon. Just wonderful.
