During my stay, I approached the front desk to report an issue with my internet connection. Unfortunately, the response I received from the gentleman at the reception was both arrogant and unprofessional. He suggested that the issue might be due to my watching Netflix, a remark that I found both presumptuous and inappropriate, particularly as I was not streaming anything at the time. Even if I had been, such a comment would have been out of place. When I asked whether watching Netflix posed a problem in a five-star establishment, his reply was that The Leonardo is not a hotel but a residence. This condescending attitude is not what I expect from an establishment of your reputation. I believe that all guests should be treated with respect, and such dismissive behavior is unacceptable. I trust that this matter will be addressed promptly to ensure that similar attitudes do not persist in the future.

I stayed two nights at the property. Unfortunately, for both nights the WiFi did not work properly and I had to activate the roaming service to be able to work. I complained to reception and they ended up giving me 3 different WiFi codes for those two nights. I decided to personally go and explain the issue, and the answer that I got was rude and uncalled for. The receptionist was arrogant and passive agressive. I’m deeply disappointed. It’s a shame that such a nice property has this type of service. It’s my first and last time at this location. The infrastructure is very good but I personally had a horrible experience with service.

Loved the location and that it is within walking distance to Mandela Sq. The living space is very big, with a downstairs kitchenette and lounge and upstairs sleeping area - it had a studio feel to it, with lots of privacy. The kitchen was well stocked. The sheets were beautiful and I slept very well. I note that since it does not have a work area, the Leonardo is not marketed as a business hotel, but more for luxury leisure stays, is this the case? This notwithstanding, it is a great place to stay (and one can use the dining table downstairs). I hope to return soon and stay on an even higher floor to better enjoy the views over Sandton.
