Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Leonardo Hotel Almere City Center impresses many guests with its modern and clean rooms, some even receiving upgrades to deluxe rooms with superb views. Its central location offers convenient access to shops and restaurants, as well as being a short train ride from Amsterdam. While the on-site parking is appreciated, some guests feel it should be complimentary, considering the room cost, however the hotel's restaurant and bar are generally well-regarded, especially its craft beer selection.
