Clean

Stayed in July 2025

Entry via code. Horrible bathroom.

We had a twin room thank goodness, as the dorm room looked very cramped. The twin room was sparse, but comfortable. It had a small balcony, but it was very dirty and old and not nice to sit in. The kitchen facilities were pretty good. The bathroom was pretty awful! Two shower stalls, which don't even have a curtain. So if someone comes in while you are showering, bad luck. The bathroom door doesn't close properly either. I feel this place is run by an organisation that does not care in the slightest about the property. Entry is by a code, there are no staff at all. A few times people had left the reception door open, so anyone would be able to walk in. Entry to our bedroom was also via a code that can only be received on your phone. That meant you had to have your phone with you at all times, even if just going to the toilet. One time, our door would not open and I had to message the company. They were very quick to get back to me, but I thought, what if that happened in the middle of the night. This place could be amazing, but it is very run down and in need of a lot of care, and some staff!!

I don't like not having a staff person. Other guests were smoking in the evening and sleeping in the common area. Not sure who to call, what to do. The digital key makes it very simple to access the room, but as a pilgrim I missed the personal presence of a staff person.

The location was perfect--right in the center of Leon. Beds were comfortable. Window/balcony over the sidestreet was great. Bathrooms were clean. Kitchen large and well used.

2 pm check in was not convenient, but we enjoyed the common area while we waited

Large and comfortable common areas, including a full kitchen

There were no directions or staff present to open the door to explain the situation. Were it not for another pilgrim who happened to see me and was staying there, I would’ve had no idea what to do, how to get the key and how to get into my room. After hiking all day the last thing you want to have to do is play games, trying to find out how to open the Albergue door and get into your room. Very unsatisfactory.

Great location to the plaza and cathedral.

Fun albergue with great kitchen. Have fun and paint a picture while your here

Stayed in June 2025

Bit noisy at night as you are based in the nightlife, area but closing the shutters by blocked out the street noise. Not a fan of the virtual keys - much prefer a person to greet you with that personal touch.

Comfy twin room light and airy. Great shared kitchen facilities, right in the middle of all the action and sights

A little street noise, obviously. Would have preferred a door code sent with booking confirmation as opposed to the virtual key access system (which worked well). NOTE - KEEP YOUR SMARTFONE CHARGED OR YOU CAN'T GET BACK IN!

excellent kitchen and communal area. comfortable bed.

No staff at any point. Virtual check in. Busy tourist location.

Light and bright. Easy access to rooms and secure locks. Nice showers.

Being a Friday night, it was very noisy outside the property all night. The shower stalls were open and not very private.

Location was very central and a great view of Gaudi’s Casa Botine. Excellent kitchen and lounge area. Comfortable bunks with sheets, doona and a towel.

Fix the drainage already

Great social space with kitchen and fridge and ample seating

Stayed in April 2025

The sink in the kitchen was backed up the entire stay and one of the women showers were not working. Plus, there was no staff there. It was all virtual.

Great location and comfortable common area.

Loud outside location , near bars. It is in heart of city!

Clean, secure and kitchen items

Stayed in March 2025

There is no staff and the check in is different than most places… virtual keys are difficult without cell service

Location

Stayed in February 2025

Up two flights of stairs to get inside. Unclear what food has been abandoned by other guests and what was being used

Comfortable beds, good kitchen, nice sitting area and convenient location

Stayed in January 2025

Showers had no privacy at all. Needs a curtain

Affordable and my nicest stay so far on the Camino

I have stayed before. It’s an interesting place. I HATED the fact that there is zero interaction with staff. Everything is done through codes and phone access. Also it’s super noisy from the street esp on Fridays and Saturdays. Very central but that comes with a cost.

The floor creaks. Since it is at the city center, noise from people coming from late night parties/drinks can be heard.

It is at the city center.

This time was a little different, new digital entry.. it's cool, but no directions on how to use in English ( i know it's in spain but, i wasnt the only guest that didn't quite understand). Just a simple 'Click the link for digital keys' would have made the whole thing less confusing..

Second time I've stayed here... it's a lovely retro vibe

The check in system is a nightmare. If it wasn’t for a previous guest (and the wonderful, lovely cleaner!) I would still be standing outside. I also helped a number of other guest check in. It’s so complicated, and when my phone was almost flat I had to race back to the albergue so I wouldn’t be locked out. It’s crazy! If it wasn’t for this I’d give a 10 out of 10.

This is a fantastic Albergue, in a prime spot, clean, comfy and well set up.

The entry procedure was a little tricky

Great location. The common areas were very comfortable. Staying for a few days would be great. The kitchen was excellent

Broken electronic doors/no on-site personnel

Location and facility were wonderful

The AI check in system was really problematic to use and there was no person to speak to at the property. The door security systems kept malfunctioning and didn’t always work using the virtual keys. This meant some people left doors open all the way to the street meaning anyone could walk in. Or you risked finding doors were closed, your virtual key didn’t work and you couldn’t get back in. My room (Room 2) had a broken door handle - the handle came off in your hands and was just on the side meaning my room had to be open all the time. I messaged through booking.com to say there was a problem and it needed to be resolved but heard nothing. I was not happy. Luckily nothing was stolen but I felt very vulnerable in this room and worried about going out and leaving my things. There were lockers but no keys or a way of securing them to protect your belongings.

Love styling. Very cosy and beautiful layout with great aesthetics. Excellent central location. Kept exceptionally clean but a dedicated team of staff

No staff onsite check in all virtual and very confusing as to how to access door to get in
