Hostel Leon Hostel

Ancha 8, 24003 León, Spain –

*9.5* Leon Cathedral: only 2 minutes away! (450 feet by foot)

*8.4* Palacio del Conde Luna: only 2 minutes away! (400 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Leon Hostel – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

1. Central location, supermercado is just opposite. 2. Easter procession passes in front and by the side. Great viewing from balcony. But have ear plugs if you want to sleep early as some night's procession is late at night (10pm). 3. Spacious sitting area with couch and table/chairs. 4. Decent sized kitchenette (microwave, small fridge, electric top, kettle, utensils). 5. Hostel Manager is very friendly and helpful.

Everything about this place is ideal. You couldn't find a better location, for a better price, with a better host. We have nothing but positives to say about this location.

Ryan, United States of America

Clean, comfortable, perfect location near a bookstore with loads of good novels in English, directly across from Carrefour Express, steps from the cathedral and cafes, bars and clubs, very nice and respectful staff, nice kitchen, great sunny living room area, and the staff lets you have your space so that it feels like your home.

Jeremy, United States of America

Everything. The hostel is on the fourth floor of a building in the old city. There is a good elevator. The views are great. The common room is well furnished with comfortable couches, a table and chairs, and a computer terminal. The wifi is excellent. The rooms have big windows and every window has a balcony. I was in a good sized room with only 2 bunk beds. Every bed had its own reading light and power outlet. There is street noise but it wasn't a problem for me. All guestd were given keys. There was no curfew. Most of the guests were pilgrims on the Camino, as I was.

“Bedbugs! Beware!”

Bedbugs! I awoke after a few hours sleep covered with bites! I checked the sheets, and found several bedbugs. I was in the 4-bed dorm (Room 3). The staff leaves from 6pm until 10am, and there is no emergency number! I slept on the couch in the lounge, but the street outside was noisy until 5am. I hardly slept and left the hostel feeling exhausted. Nightmare!

“Perfect for Camino travelers”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
The hostel is on the third floor of a historic building few steps from the Cathedral. Instructions were clear and easy. The lady who works there is super nice and very helpful if you need any info. She keeps the place very clean. Given that most travelers stay only one night while walking Camino, it can be a lot of work. There are rooms with different number of beds. We stayed in a double room, which was right next to the reception. It was clean, big enough for our short stay and had a fireplace, which was nice decorative feature. There is a join bathroom and showers, small kitchen and you can also have your clothes washed for a small fee of 3 euros. There is a communal room with books, games and desktop PC if you do not have your own device from which to send an email or browse web.
