Parador de León

This is a brilliant hotel - indeed a work of art. It’s an extraordinary building, with ancient features and beautiful cloisters but also renovated with modern and comfortable fittings and services. It is also a museum and art gallery with pictures along all the corridors. The rooms are lovely and well appointed, the food is great and the staff in the drinks and dining areas could not be more friendly and helpful. A wonderful stay. We would definitely go back. Free parking on site too - a real plus. It’s a bit of a walk (20 mins) to the centre of town and the old quarter but not a real problem particularly as the food and drink at the Parador is good and well priced.

Stunning setting building an old convent with lovely pieces of art and a stunning courtyard. The staff are also very helpful and the food in the restaurant is decent. Our room which was a junior suite was a delight. Huge with a lot of character. One of the nicest rooms I stayed in. But there were too many flies, and big ones. We saw three in our room which was a disturbance. If it wasn’t for that I would give it a five.

This Paradore is unmatched in combining absolute comfortable and luxurious rooms, while having an art and beauty in a historical gem. The breakfast was top notch in quality, selections and quantity. Rooms and beds were perfection of comfort. The best pillows ever. I want to know the brand and how I can get one to sleep well. Highly recommend this place and almost forgot to mention the location in the city is perfect.

Wonderful hotel and only a 15 walk to old town. Spacious rooms, nicely decorated, great air con, great shower, comfy bed. Very nice front desk staff. A special thank you to the woman (sorry didn’t get her name) who helped my husband retrieve his backpack that he left in the taxi from the train station. Muchas gracias!! ||Take the time to walk around the adjacent church and cloisters. Beautiful and very historic. Be sure to look for the door (on the second floor) to the “biblioteca” where you can see the church inside from a balcony above.

We stopped in Leon driving from Porto to Santander and could not have been more pleased with our stay at this beautiful historic hotel. It is full of history and art but has been sympathetically refurbished to a very high standard. We ate dinner in the restaurant where the service and food was wonderful. There is plentiful secure car parking at the hotel. Being only 3 hours or so to Santander this makes a great stop over point for ferry users. We highly recommend this hotel.

Where to start? This hotel is more like an art gallery with rooms. |Talking about rooms we had booked a junior suite (room 401). It was up a staircase of 16 steps but unless you have mobility issues it should be ok. |Great view of the plaza in front of the hotel. |Room was terrific. |Breakfast was standard Paradores affair. Very nice. ||Only issue is that the Feria was on and the concert was loud. Avoid the fiestas and this is a brilliant hotel.

Parador de Leon is outstanding! The building is amazing and the modern rooms are superb. It is super quiet & located in a picturesque spot overlooking the river. It’s an easy walk into the centre of Leon and the car park is huge. The terrace bar is a must! Breakfast was good but not outstanding & some of the breakfast & bar staff were a bit lacking in friendliness but the hotel amenities are top quality. Extremely comfortable bed!

I was expecting to compromise on the quality of the room/facilities/food/service to stay in this magnificent historical building at a premium price, but there are no compromises here. This is the best of the best, true 5 stars and worth every penny. Impressive work by the management, the staff, the architects and the decorators.

For From The Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler fans, this Night at the Museum is an absolute delight. The hotel's history is long and complex, spanning about nine hundred years, with highlights including a stint as the Royal Cemetery and a concentration camp during the Spanish Civil War. There are plaques throughout the hotel, as is appropriate for a major historical landmark. My room was large, well-appointed, came with chocolate and looked out over a beautiful garden maze. The restaurant is highly regarded and looks like something out of Beauty and the Beast, although I found the food somewhat oversalted. Breakfast is appropriately high quality and offers a huge range of options. Including kiwi juice. I've never been offered kiwi juice before. The bar is located in a spacious room with massively high barrel-vaulted ceilings, and after a drink or two you can go across the hall and sit in almost perfect isolation in the former cloiser refectory under a truly stunning 16th century carved ceiling. There was a wedding going on while I was there. It is a dream location for such an event and the wedding party seemed to be having a fantastic time. Returning for more than a one-night stay will be a goal of mine!

Very nice Hotel, bridges the gap between being antique and comfortable very well. Although some of the installations could be replaced by now to a more modern standard, it is still a good place to stay. One of the most interesting and historical Hotels I've seen so far. Breakfast is fabulous.

This is a beautiful hotel in the city of Leon that has been used for many ventures through the centuries. The building has been a monastery, a jail, a school, and is now a hotel. The service is courteous, and the food is delicious. The price is also very good for the value offered. I definitely recommend this hotel for tourists from all over the world. Leon is a true gem in Spain for people who visit. It's cathedral and pedestrian streets are wonderful.

It is one of the most beautiful hotel that I have even been. A piece of the history in León. Really good food and service. Highly recomend
