 Sadly the shabbiness of the place is begining to out run the chic and I struggle to remember a less comfortable hotel bed in all my years of travelling DO NOT fork out the additional cost for breakfast ours was distinctly unappetising and took an age to arrive On the 2nd morning another guest had to get up and leave before his food emerged from the kitchen There are a few pretty good places to get a much more appealing breakfast within a short walk including the delightfully quirky Daisy Green just over the road 
 This place is in an excellent location and as other reviewers have pointed out has an air of a family concern that gives it far more appeal than some of the antiseptic chain hotels that come in at around the same Pretty expensive price The staff are among the most welcoming and friendly I have encountered in a London Hotel undobtedly the Leonard s principle asset they are crying out for a bit of hands on management and direction to turn something distinctly average into what could be something wonderful
