Leonardo Hotel in Liverpool

An absolute pathetic disgrace.
We were on a football academy tour with our 15/16 year old boys from Australia.
Every single night we got dry chicken, plain pasta, dry rice, tomato sauce from a can, frozen vegetables the same packet potatoes and the boys were told one piece of chicken each! Anyone with a brain knows boys that age, particularly active boys, consume vast quantities of protein to refuel. After complaints from our tour organisers we got extra chicken and, yes, plain pasta, dry rice, tomato sauce from a can or bottle, and packet vegetables. They actually had staff monitoring like eagle eyed Nazis so nobody took too much. Unbelievable. Sorry, they did alternate with a pesto sauce once or twice.
It was an absolute disgrace and the photo attached shows what we got and the putrid quality of the meals. At a point after complaints about the quantity of food to management by our tour organisers, they added toast and breakfast serial to the dinner menu! you can’t make this stuff up!
Surely a trained chef could make lasagne maybe, spaghetti bolognaise, cottage pie, stew?! We did not get red meat once during our stay.
We did some costing online at Tesco and taking into account their corporate discount they were probably feeding us dinner for 2 pounds a day. If that.
There is no pride here, or just human decency, who the hell would serve the same dish to a group of people for 7 days straight?
On our last night they threw in some pizza slices, soggy as because they were put in a serving dish and separated by baking paper.
How’s it possible this is acceptable standards at a supposedly decent hotel group? That managemet, when made aware of the problem, just ignored it is also troubling.
All in all a disgrace to the hospitality industry and to the shareholders of the group.
We had spent the week before at the Watford Leonardo and had an equally dismal experience.
We had about 40 people in our group with at least 20 rooms between us for 14 nights across the two hotels and this is how they treated us. The mind boggles.
Avoid for your own sake.

Hotel staff rude on both storing luggage & on check in. Rooms in need of some TLC, mould in the bathroom, lack of light in the room, also note if you are someone with a Dyson air strait or air wrap there are no plugs in the room they will fit in. Location of the hotel is perfect for docks & 5 mins walk from Liverpool one. The rooms just need a bit of love!
