Leonardo Hotel Torremolinos Costa del Sol

"Following my last r4eview in 2025, I revisited this hotel this month. I am pleased to report it has improved a lot since then. It has changed it's name from the Gran Cervantis which is why I couldn't find it earlier in the year when I travelled to Spain. The food in the restaurant has improved greatly since my visit in 2025, plenty of variety to cater for all tastes. I was given a room overlooking the pool with a balcony to sit out and relax, the bed was a double one which is unusual. It was cleaned every day without asking, with clean towels daily. There wasn't tea & coffee making facilities so it is advisable to take your own kettle etc. There was 2 bottles of water in the room which was anoce touch and a fridge. The safe was easier to operate this time as was the Wi-fi. The staff were pleasant and helpful which is always a bonus. The only downside was the main bar which sells snacks and drinks was closed all the time, don't know the reason for this. However, the smaller bar in the main lounge was open several hours each day. Overall a great improvement on my previous visit and well worth the 4 star rating it has. I will definately be staying there again."

"Hotel lovely and clean, rooms great no problem, Problem was the food, no way 4 star , poor choice, very bland, massive disappointment"

"We stayed at the Leonardo Hotel Torremolinos for four days in October, and this is my honest review. The room was absolutely fine. It was clean, the maids came in every day, and although the rooms could do with a little updating, we had no real complaints. The Smart TV with Netflix and freeview UK channels was a great bonus. The bathroom was good too, with a hot and powerful shower. The staff were excellent. Reception and restaurant staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Breakfast was also good. Freshly cooked eggs every morning, toast, cereals, fresh fruit, cheese, ham and plenty of bread. No complaints there. Unfortunately, the evening meals were the big let-down, particularly if you’re staying half board. The choice was quite limited and, on several occasions, the food was only lukewarm. There wasn’t even a microwave available to heat it up. For us, this really brought the overall experience down. My advice would be to skip half board and explore the local restaurants instead — there are plenty of options nearby. I genuinely wanted to give this hotel 4 stars, because there are certainly some positives. But being completely honest, 3 stars feels like the fairest rating. The room, cleanliness, breakfast and staff were all good, but the evening meals need significant improvement."
