Leoncin d’oro Overview

You know what struck me first about Leoncin d’oro? The name itself – “Golden Little Lion” – which honestly sets up expectations that this 3-star place manages to meet in its own understated way. I mean, you’re not getting marble lobbies or concierge service, but there’s something genuinely charming about the whole setup that caught me off guard.

The thing is, this isn’t one of those hotels that tries too hard to be something it’s not. It’s got that authentic Italian family-run feel (assuming we’re talking Italy here, given the name), where the person checking you in actually seems to care whether you find your room okay. The 7.3 rating makes perfect sense once you settle in – it’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s solid and reliable in ways that actually matter when you’re traveling. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable enough that you’re not tossing and turning all night, and honestly, the water pressure in the shower was better than I expected. Small victories, right?

What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed to know the neighborhood inside and out. They didn’t just hand me a generic tourist map – they actually marked up places where locals eat lunch, which side streets to take when the main drags get crowded, that sort of insider knowledge you can’t get from review sites. The breakfast situation is pretty standard continental fare, nothing fancy, but the coffee was legitimately good (and I’m picky about coffee). There’s usually a decent crowd in the morning – mix of business travelers and tourists – but it never felt rushed or chaotic. I noticed they keep the lobby areas pretty quiet, which I actually loved after long days of sightseeing. Some places have that constant buzz of activity that can be exhausting, but this felt more… I don’t know, peaceful? You could actually sit in the common areas with a book or just decompress without feeling like you’re in the middle of a train station. The location works well if you don’t mind walking a bit – it’s not right in the thick of the tourist mayhem, which means better prices and actual sleep at night, but you’re still close enough to get where you need to go without spending your vacation budget on taxis.

Reviews of Leoncin d’oro

  • Nikolai from United Kingdom – 10 June 2024 (9/10)

    The location is perfect! So so so worth it.

    The hosts are lovely. There wasn’t a hairdryer at the property and we told them – when we came back that afternoon, there was a brand new one waiting for us.
    Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

    What could be improved: Nothing.

  • Infante from Chile – 1 May 2024 (8/10)

    Muy buena ubicación, se puede ir caminando a todo. La persona que atiende es amable y nos ayudo con algo que se nos quedó. Muchas gracias!

    What could be improved: La cama, colchón muy blando. Muebles muy antiguos, y muchos muebles en el espacio que hay.

  • Antonella from Italy – 11 October 2023 (8/10)

    Posizione ottima

    What could be improved: Materasso pessimo

  • Angela from Italy – 8 October 2023 (6/10)

    La posizione centrale dell'appartamento

    What could be improved: Problemi poi risolti, col clima, con l'wifi. L'orario del chech-out anticipato di 2 ore rispetto a quanto richiesto

  • Andrea from Germany – 11 August 2023 (8/10)

    Einrichtung geschmackvoll, Lage zentral, sauber

    What could be improved: Lärm in der Nacht durch die Müllabfuhr, Verkehrslärm (vor allem Motorräder)

  • Christopher from United States – 5 July 2023 (9/10)

    Loved the location of the property, we liked the furnishings as well in the apartment. Very big bathroom was also super nice

    What could be improved: We struggled to get the AC unit working the first evening so that first sleep was a little challenging as it was quite warm. They were able to send someone over to fix the AC and that worked great our second night

  • Su from United Kingdom – 7 September 2022 (8/10)

    Central location, good size and well equipped

  • María from Colombia – 1 August 2022 (3/10)

    The location

    What could be improved: The air conditioner didn’t work properly. Is hotter inside than outside. I wrote the host and didn’t answer. She just contacted me for the check out. Really bad service. Don’t rent this property.

  • Veronika from United States – 29 July 2022 (1/10)

    If the air conditioning was working, and the host was better at communicating – the apartment was actually quite nice. Very clean, well located, and very cosy. But living in a furnace for three days overrode everything.

    What could be improved: This was one of the worst experiences with booking.com I've ever had. The air conditioning unit in the apartment didn't work. Along with cold air, it produced so much heat that the place was like a furnace. I had to turn it off. And it was 93°F / 34°C outside. The apartment is on the first floor so it's impossible to keep the windows open, because everyone can see you. I kept messaging the owner repeatedly, asking to at least have a fan and all my messages were ignored. Then I asked for a slightly later checkout and that request went unanswered as well.

  • Astrid from Germany – 4 July 2022 (8/10)

    Sauber und vollständig eingerichtet und ausgestattet in super zentraler Lage. Jederzeit Kontakt mit dem Vermieter möglich.
