Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
During my recent stay at the Leonardo, I encountered several issues that significantly affected my experience. While the concierge staff was consistently helpful, the lack of air conditioning made the building unbearably hot and muggy. The windows barely opened, and there were no top sheets for the bedding. Additionally, there was no screen protector on the windows, so we had to keep the lights off at night to prevent bugs from entering the room. Furthermore, there was no ice machine, and even the cleaning staff had to use fans to cool down due to the heat. The bathroom also had its share of problems, including a crooked toilet seat that couldn't be fixed, a soap regulator that limited the amount dispensed, scalding hot water from the tap, and a shower head that couldn't be removed from the wall. One other important thing to mention is the location. This hotel is located outside the city, so to reach the city center, you can expect a 30-minute walk or a £10 taxi ride, which may require some waiting. The view from the hotel was also terrible. To top it off, the pillows were uncomfortably stiff, and when we requested new pillows, we were informed that there were no additional pillows available. Additionally, the bed wheels were not locked, which caused inconvenience. Overall, these issues made my stay at the Leonardo less than satisfactory.

Hotel a bit run down Not a great selection for evening meals and what there was was poor fair We had to move room as when we went to bed and turned down sheets the bed sheet and mattress were soaking. It took over 1/2 hour to get a new room sorted. Key card faild every second time and had to spend ages at reception each time to get it reset. Spa facilities - these were good however 1. staff did not enforce rules especially in relation to the hottub where families with very young children monopolised it 2. Steam room was excessively hot 3. Sauna was cool On a positive note the breakfast selection was excellent..... for meat eaters ....unfortunately, my wife is vegetarian.

Nice place to stay.
The hotel was great, the room was comfortable and well decorated. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Inverness was a 15-20 minute walk down one road, so easy to head into town for food etc. There is also a bus stop close to the hotel if you'd prefer to get the bus. The only downsides were that we didn't think the room was cleaned properly as the wardrobe had other people's clothes in it and the carpet quite stained.

The property needs some updating for sure. We had a dirty room, late check in, our keys stopped working, we were given vouchers at for the bar and they weren’t used as promised and the service started off horribly, we requested late check out and were woken by room cleaning. The staff were friendly and helped but it was issue after issue which made the visit less than comfortable and definitely not worth the money.

A reaosonable and secure visit
This is a perfectly reasonable hotel. Customer service was in general tip top. Very clean, very secure. Inverness itself is not a very large city. You can see what there is to see in terms of historical buildings and good shopping in a day easy. Because the old town is so small, one is never too far away from the sketchy portions if you stay in old town. Our goal was to be out just a bit, but still walkable. This hotel was perfect for that. The rooms are a bit dated but are equipped with good, current TVs. I expect to visit Inverness again, and will plan to stay here again when I do.

Worth a stay
About a 10 min drive (or bus ride) from the City Centre, it's close enough without the cost. The staff was helpful, including bus info that stops within a minute walk & updating us on a part needed for the hot tub (fixed within 24 hrs). Lifts were small (holds 4-5 average people at most), but the hotel was clean with little wear & tear. Breakfast was varied with hot, cold, vegetarian & meat options. The only drawback was staffing. The (only) lady behind the bar in the evening was also handling the breakfast rush in the morning, with a few others helping.

Great staff and excellent service! However, the building needs a serious refresh and air conditioning and proper vent fans added in the bathrooms. Our room was hot and couldn’t open the window enough to cool it down due to a safety latch. Without proper venting in the bathroom, you had to keep the door closed to keep steam from setting off the smoke alarm, and it was hot and steamy. Another room set off the alarm at 2 AM, and the whole hotel got woken up and evacuated. Then, we had to stand out in the parking lot until the fire department came and confirmed it was a false alarm. Not good.

My daughter became ill the during our stay in Scotland, and because of that I had to extend our stay in Glasgow. I thought I had made a reservation for the following night at the Leonardo in Inverness. When I arrived I realized that I had accidentally reserved the night for my extended stay at the Leonardo in Glasgow. They did not have any rooms available and would not refund my cost for the 2 rooms I reserved. Considering I was dealing with a very stressful situation with my daughter's illness I would have expected a refund considering that I still stayed with a Leonardo property in Glasgow. I'm out of pocket $530 and I'm not happy.
