My experience at The Leonardo was mostly fantastic. the staff were wonderful, particularly Lerato at reception. However, I did find the breakfast menu a bit dull, especially during my longer stay. Overall, I'd rate my time there quite highly and plan to rebook in the near future.

My stay at The Leonardo was a mixed bag. While the spacious apartment on the 37th floor offered stunning views and great amenities, I struggled with noisy club music that kept me up late. Overall, it was a comfortable but somewhat chaotic experience.

My stay at The Leonardo was fantastic overall! The staff were consistently excellent, especially Lerato at reception who made my check-in experience really good. My only suggestion would be to enhance the breakfast menu, as it became a bit repetitive over my eight-night stay. Still, I would definitely rebook in the future! 😊
