Parador de León

Our stay in the Parador de Leon was fantastic. The building is a real tresure and it is a pleasure to be part of it by staying. The staff was very friendly the hotel has a wonderfull restaurant where one sit to enjoy a long lunch or dinner. The bar was also great. It is not far from the center, 10 min walk and easy to find. It also was very convenient that it has a parking that is for free for guests. There is also a nice cafeteria in the street in front, close enough to have a quick breafast and go. I would love to come and stay in this hotel again, we had a room in the new area and we really enjoyed the balcony and the views to the garden. The old area is composed by the suites and a few other rooms that were a bit more pricy.

The facade of the hotel

The rooms are in a modern, and not a very attractive building. The traffic noise made it impossible to open a window and there is not enough fresh air in the room. Rather hard beds. The location of hotel is not very central.

Outstanding historic building

The hotel is a fantastic building, rooms are pleasant and it's handy as a base to explore the town

The staff were surly and unhelpful, especially the porters, and the Head Waiter was positively rude and arrogant. So much so that we boycotted the Dining Room for the entire duration of our stay.

The fact that the hotel is based on the original San Marcus monastey of León. The hotel as most modern facilities in an olsfashioned way. The Paradors has a special atmosphere, which you don't find in other Hotels.

Quite central yet easy to find. Secure parking. Very grand appearance, especially at night.

Despite a/c the room was too hot and humid.

El edificio donde esta el hotel es precioso y esta muy cerca del centro de Leon.

The view from my room.

The Facade of the Paradore is awe inspiring, all of the public rooms are luxurious, there is an air of grandeur throughout, it is a treat to stay here. The bedrooms in the new wing are spacious, well equiped and each have there own balcony. The buffet brecfast has a vast array of choice for all tastes and the main Restaurant is excellent for lunch or dinner. Stayed two nights would have liked to stay longer!

I did request a room in the old part of the hotel, but did not get it, however the newer area is very confortable.

stunning architecure,beautiful statures, all set in the city centre, very near a river , possibly the most memorable parador for this reason .

there was nothing to dislike, but in general all the paradors are haveing such similar menues eating dinner is somewhat unmemarable, not at all our experience in france!!!!!

The hotel is located within a spectacularly historic building in the refurbished Plaza de San Marcos, a little outside the main centre of the city. The public rooms are beautifully restored in the style of many Spanish paradors. Most of the (many) bedrooms appear to be in a more modern wing.

The Parador feels a little institutionalised, with an emphasis on mass catering. A charge of 20 euros for a buffet breakfast was expensive. It is not conveniently located for the old centre of the city, where most of the action is in the evening.

It thought it was above itself. The rooms were cold, it snowed, and we had to ask for extra heat. Expensive breakfast €20. We did not have. Ate out for €3 much the same.

The opportunity of staying in an historical venue really made it a special occassion. I enjoyed the traditional format of the hotel (basic rooms, but lots of common areas where you spent most of your time, like the piano bar for instance), as it gave the hotel a social and welcoming atmosphere. The service was fantastic, and the quality of food was excellent.

The rooms are nice and comfortable, but not flashy. My room did not have a very nice view (it was overlooking a carpark). But that was not a big problem. Really, there was nothing I didn't like.
