Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent hotel with beach front location. We were upgraded to a sea view room and were very grateful. Even though we were above the main road outside the traffic noise was very minimal and not really evident. The room had everything we needed and more, TV worked great and you can cast your apps to it, we didn't try. Room was well maintained and very clean. We didn't get chance to use the pool or other wet facilities but wish we had! I would certainly stay there again and would love a seaview room again, the windows are so deep that you can actually sit in it and watch the world go by. The car park is under the hotel and easy to use. You can stay on your departure day until you need to leave so that can be after check out, that was very handy for me."
