Leonardo Hotel Milton Keynes

8/10 Good
"Clean room, pleasant temperature, comfy bed and duvet. Only one chair and no table which was ok for one night but wasn’t comfortable sitting in bed to watch tv. Bathroom fans noise in bedroom but go off eventually after light off. Room 219 had some noise but nothing major from revellers outside in the alley at 2am . Bathroom showing slight signs of wear and tear. I struggled to turn on cold water bath tap but the shower was good. Liked the toiletries. Tissues and glasses are a bonus. Only four coffee sachets and one or two more would have been appreciated. Breakfast was okay. Was asked if I’d like to order poached eggs which was a thoughtful gesture. Was disappointed the cereal is no longer in the individual boxes so I didn’t eat. Had a croissant and added Brie and bacon which was good. Reasonable selection on buffet overall. Some items such as melon wasn’t replenished which was a pity."
