Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a delightful surprise, with spacious and light rooms overlooking a peaceful courtyard. It was conveniently located for exploring the town and was a perfect stop before catching my train. The service provided, including tours and ticket assistance, was top-notch. The facility's ambiance was special, blending modern amenities with the charm of an old historic building.
I felt like I was staying in a piece of history in the old monk's room at the hotel. The room was basic yet incredibly comfortable, with a firm but cozy bed. The view was lovely, and the cleanliness was top-notch. The only downside was the limited dining options, but overall, it was a gratifying experience.
The hotel is right in the heart of central Leon, within a historic basilica, offering tons of character and charm. The rooms are compact but quiet, clean, and sufficient, although the bed and pillows could be more comfortable. The dining experience varies from generous to ordinary, with good choices but subpar coffee. The location immerses you in history with churches, cobblestone streets, and various piazzas, although limited to pedestrian traffic mostly. The facilities are solid with a notable mix of positives and negatives.
The hotel is set in a very ancient building in the center of a beautiful neighborhood, offering warm rooms with a view to the monaster font and cloister. It's great for exploring the sights of Leon; however, the dining experience can be a bit chaotic at busy times.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although very small and nothing like the photos, were surprisingly good. The location was perfect, close to restaurants and historical sites, but the dining experience was somewhat chaotic. However, the service and facilities were top-notch.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were beautifully modern and well-appointed, although the atmosphere felt a bit too warm due to difficulties with the air system. The location was absolutely perfect, right in the center of the city with easy access to historical sites and great restaurants. The dining experience was exceptional, offering a variety of delicious options. However, there were some minor issues with facilities that could use improvement.
