Leonardo Boutique Hotel Munich

The rooms were extremely small and not very clean with marks up the walls.

Breakfast is great, although if you arrive after 9 supplies were running low.

I have hesitated to post my review of the Leonardo Boutique Hotel, I left it for a few weeks to see if my opinion changed in any way. I think this was the 3rd time we stayed at this hotel, it had become our “go to” place to stay when we visited Munich. The location is ideal, just a short walk from Marienplatz and the English Gardens and close to Odensplatz (U-bahn). We checked in and were (unpleasantly) surprised at the small room – we had never stayed in such a tiny room in our previous visits. The room was on the 5th floor which was in the process of being repainted/redecorated. I don’t enjoy having my own home decorated and was less than happy to have it happening immediately outside my room while I was on holiday. It was the second day when I made a complaint to the hotel – not about the size of the room or the painting in the corridor but because none of the bedside lights were working and the TV, which did work on our first night, did not switch off (so the screen was pale grey and illuminated the room all night; although I suppose the lack of bedside lights was offset by the permanently glowing TV screen). The person at reception was apologetic and suggested we move to another room, on a different floor. The next room was probably 25% bigger, and the bedside lights and TV worked, so big improvement. I did hear other customers complaining about the decorating activity on the 5th floor, I think if the hotel management want to have guests continue to stay in rooms on the floors that are being painted they should make guests aware of the decorating and offer them a discount to have a room on that floor. For the record I want to relax on holiday and wouldn’t ever want to stay in a room on a floor that was being decorated. I’m not sure I will stay at this hotel again, which is a shame.

The one positive thing is the location, which is really convenient.

Almost everything. A run down place with carpeting, a dark brown, worn velvet covered bed, a paper-thin cheap blanket, equally thin walls, so you hear every word spoken next door, .... do not need to go on I guess. Except, the regular price of about 89€ seems adequate. Between 260-330€ during Wiesn is a complete rip-off.
