Hi Tim and Colin I stayed in the Leonardo in July with a friend. Like you, we’d also stayed there when it was Jury’s Inn. Yours is a fair review and I agree with all your positives. Our top floor room looked out onto the Tyne and had the added advantage for me (as a train enthusiast) of giving great views of trains coming and going over the bridge. You might have been slightly unlucky with the bathroom plumbing, but our room also looked bland and tired. Proximity to the gay bars is a massive plus though. The Leonardos (ex Jury’s Inn) in Middlesbrough has more colourful rooms and is worth upgrading to Premium for the extra space including sofa. A pool and sauna help too, but the Teesside Gay scene is lacking! Belated thanks for your guide to Patong in Thailand. Very useful, especially in tracking down the gay bars there. Enjoy your travels!

Thank you Will. Our friend Kevin had a much nicer hotel 🏨 with breakfast for less than we paid. We'll be steering clear of Leonardo's altogether in future! 😝❤️🌈 xxx
Thanks for another very good review and video.. Leonardo was known for his very expressive and dramatic artwork..This hotel didn't look to be a masterpiece imo..I am very sensitive wee guy and am quite fussy regarding my bog roll..Must be soft and quilted 🤭🤭.
Thank you for sneaking me into your room :-) Oh no, was the shower better than the one where you could only wash your knobs and knockers? Again something in your room (the tap) disturbing your sleep I'm sure could easily have been sorted. Do you remember toilet roll at school being like tracing paper? I love the tops you were wearing whet you were sat on the bed giving your pros and cons Xx
Hi Colin and Tim Well my good friends for £96-39p I was expecting much better than this and certainly a breakfast. Now I know coffee and tea is a personal choice but I thought the brands were good, but for the sake of 20p each for a multi pack pack of two biscuits, that would of been nice. Re the shower, how long would it take to scrub the tiling grout clean and clean the shower head, 15 minuets at most. As for the shower being tepid warm and spraying water over the shower curtain, shocking, get a plumber in, or turn the hot water thermostat up. My point being here is that all these things were minor, but so easy to correct and cheap to put right especially as like I said when your paying £96-39 a night. Despite this, a great vlog guys as always, and a hotel I will avoid in the future. Chris 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
Hi Chris! A spray with bleach and the grout would probably come up spotless, no scrubbing required and the shower 🚿 head could have been replaced for a few of quid. The water temperature might have required a bit more effort to resolve. Thanks for your comments Chris xx ❤️🌈🏨
For that price, I would have not stayed with the state of that bathroom and it's the blandest-looking room I have ever seen, a hospital ward has more character. What no breakfast included😯 As for the toilet paper, it isn't a false economy that 1 ply is so cheap and the better is much more expensive. The average usage is 2 rolls for 2 people regardless of the quality. You are both very thorough and the counting of coat hangers is hilarious. The way Tim looks at Colin sometimes.. Tim that anorak of yours is huge on you love..
hi guys i stayed there in july this year i was very disappointed...i even found used condoms under the bed from the previous guests...out of the way and very hard to find...worst 4 star hotel ive ever stayed in ...wont be staying in leonardo hotels again....on the plus side i had a great time in newcastle lovley people 😀
No matter the subject your channel is one of the best feelgood vlogs on the Internet
Aww! Thank you, Mr Frisky. You're so kind 🥰👍🧟♂️

Thanks Carol 😀❤️🌉
Hi, totally agree, didn’t look the best place to stay in for me. Location obviously for you guys was good but too many negatives ❤
Thanks Tracy. We won't be staying there again ❤️🌞👍

Fabulous Video As Always XX - Quite Depressing Interior and Horrendous Price for the Aesthetic! That Grouting Looked Like A Swamp Donkeys Teeth! XX
It wasn't pleasant at all, LM. Thanks for your comment 🫏🫏🫏 xxx
Hi guys great review but would not be happy paying that price for the room,poor shower as you said no breakfast,needs refresh and better facilities ❤
We agree, Shirley! ❤️🌞🥰

Thanks Dave. Yes, we do remember toilet paper like tracing paper. It used to scratch your bum! Hopefully it's a thing of the past 😀🌞🧟♂️
The bridge in the picture is the Queen Elizabeth II bridge, it carries the Tyne and Wear Metro
Thank you, Kevin! We appreciate you taking the time to tell us 👍🌉🩷
What was a surprise was you had a window that opens if you want fresh air rare these days in chain hotels no biscuits 😕 🍻
We thought so too, but everything else was so dated it wasn't a surprise that the window actually opened, John 🪟👍🏨

Great review, where did Kevin stay, that sounded better
We can't remember the name of Kevin's hotel 🏨, we're afraid. We'll have to ask him next time we see him 😉

Eww! That is a nasty thing to find. We're so happy you enjoyed your time in Newcastle. We love it, Anthony 👍❤️🌉
The spray from the shower needs sorting for safety reasons
It certainly was! ⛸️⛸️⛸️
At least you got a bed each😂
True, Billy! 🤣
You forgot fo measure the telly

Looked Awful

To be fair, it wasn't awful, but we shall be avoiding that hotel in future nevertheless🌞🏨🩷
