Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour
Had a very pleasant stay. The hotel is very clean (a little bit dated in places) and I had a wonderful time. Customer service was more than excellent. Lots of care taken with me in the Spa by Beth and Kirsty, top notch waiting on service by Lydia in the restaurant, and a big shout out to Rhiannon ...
