What Previous Guests Had to Say
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Leonardo Inn Glasgow West End offers reasonably spacious rooms with comfortable beds, providing a warm and tidy environment for guests. Many appreciate the convenient location near the hospital and enjoy the duck pond for pleasant walks. The breakfast buffet is a highlight, especially the fried potatoes, though some guests have noted that the orange juice could be better. With mini-fridges and tea/coffee facilities in the rooms, a stay here is generally considered good value, despite some past guests reporting minor maintenance issues in their rooms.
