Now, the rooms are where this place really earns its keep. Many of them look straight out over the marina, and let me tell you, there is something deeply satisfying about watching boats bobbing around while you lounge in a fluffy robe. It’s like having a front-row seat to a very relaxing, very quiet show, where the main characters are seagulls and the occasional tourist on a paddleboard.
You don’t need to own a yacht to feel like you do. The windows are huge, so you get that I’m-on-a-perfect-holiday feeling even if you’re just in town for a conference. And the beds? They are the kind of pillowy heaven that makes you seriously consider cancelling your evening plans just to order room service and watch bad TV. No judgment here.
The Breakfast Situation (It’s Important)
Let’s talk about breakfast, because honestly, a bad breakfast can ruin a whole day’s vibe. At the Leonardo Royal, the breakfast buffet is less of a grab-and-go scramble and more of a feast for winners. You’ve got your full English, your pastries, fresh fruit, and a waffle maker that feels like a toy you’re actually allowed to play with.
Imagine your family all piling down in their pyjamas (you know you do it), and everyone finding something they actually like. The kids are happy because there are pancakes, you’re happy because the coffee is strong and endless, and your partner is happy because there are hash browns. It’s a win-win-win. It turns a simple morning into a little celebration.
