Leonardo Hotel Southampton
The hotel was at one of the cheapest price points within the city for a weekday evening but delivered a good quality spacious room with all the amenities needed. Impressed with the stay given the price, with good location for the city and also a good range of snacks/drinks available for purchase ...
