Non-renovated hotel but totally worth the value. Convenient location on the light rail and close to old city. Perfectly safe. Great breakfast. Many of the staff went out of their way to help make my stay more pleasant!

I arrived at the hotel at 3:00 PM, and like many guests, I really enjoy swimming when I travel. At 4:50 PM, I went into the pool, only to be immediately told by the lifeguard that, starting today, the pool closes at 5:00 PM. I politely asked if they could allow me just an extra 30 minutes, especially since the hotel never clearly announced or displayed the pool’s opening hours anywhere. Instead of handling the situation in a professional and respectful manner, they treated me as if I were in a courtroom, not a hotel. Honestly, the whole interaction was completely inappropriate, and it left me frustrated and disappointed.

Complaints - Leonardo Hotel * Smoking in a pool area where smoking is not allowed * Urine or public restroom smell in the lobby bar area * Short circuit in the nightstand lamps * On Shabbat, the lamps and outlets around the beds stop working * At breakfast, they don't set out small spoons, small plates, an extra set of forks and knives, or napkins within reach * Only 1 cold water dispenser in the smelly lobby * The pool is very small, shaded most of the time, and the lifeguard is on his cell phone instead of watching the area. Kids running around the entire pool area constantly, pushing others, hitting balls against the glass, and slapping pool noodles against the water * On Saturdays, the pool is OVERCROWDED with kids with no limits whatsoever, jumping over us, taking our chairs, and constantly smoking * There is no shower at the pool, so people jump in completely dirty; we saw a woman pour beer over a guy's body and then he went and jumped into the pool * Adults pushing children dangerously into the pool, kids pushing other kids or adults. Pushing the lifeguard too, with no one setting limits—neither the lifeguard nor hotel management. A complete disaster, total stress being at the pool, impossible to relax or have a good time. Disgusting. * Large groups of people from organized programs stepping on us, hurting us in the pool, and pushing each other. No one supervising anything; they took off their swimsuits inside the pool, with and without kids present. * Kids getting into the pool eating ice cream, bringing in beer cans, throwing potato chip bags inside, plastic cups, sucking on ice cubes and spitting/putting them into the pool. No one setting any limits. * You can enter with any type of food and drink, even glass bottles—we saw more than one. * The lifeguard only plays with the kids; he isn't acting as a lifeguard. He let a guest into the pool area and, in the middle of his shift, sat down to smoke and drink a beer. * Music playing at the pool on Shabbat and even during solemn, sad holiday periods like Tisha B'Av. * Breakfast declined drastically over the days. The reduced space they moved us to had less food, less variety, only one coffee machine for 80+ people, everyone crammed together, and the air conditioning was unnecessarily freezing every morning. * The hallway carpets are disgusting and very dirty, and some hotel corridors smell bad. * In the lobby lounge area, there was a broken chair with a sticking-out nail that scratched/cut my entire leg. Positive Feedback - Leonardo Hotel * Very warm and attentive staff * Front Desk / Reception: attentive, warm, helpful, and quick to respond * Dining Room / Breakfast Staff: very attentive and fast, welcoming us with a great attitude * Housekeeping came to clean the room every day * Free coffee stations located at various points throughout the hotel * Punctual schedules (pool, breakfast) * Good amount of chairs at the pool
