Parador de León

he Parador is elegant and worthy of its stars. From the moment you enter this Parador, you experience a sense of calm and relaxation created by the exceptional staff and the beautiful decor. I was impressed by the friendliness of the front desk staff, we arrived. We had stayed at the Parador last year and enjoyed our stay so we decided to stay at the hotel again during our trip through the Galicia region. When we entered our room there was a handwritten personal note, a bottles of water and delicious treats. This Parador makes its clients feel special simply by the fabulous service they provide. I would like to thank Oscar and Marcelo for making our stay a special one. We loved staying at this stylish Parador. Our room was modern and sophisticated with dark wood ascents that helped create a relaxing environment. The bathroom with its modern amenities was spacious and had a wonderful rain shower. Our room provided the perfect respite after a day of visiting museums, shopping, and sightseeing. This is one Parador that is a must to stay at if you are going to visi Leon. You will not be disappointed.

Incredible building, feels like a real castle. A very special experience. The rooms are a bit dated though, and could use a renovation for the price you pay. Service is fine, but can be slow. It's beautiful for photos and to experience history, just don't expect modern luxury in the room. Good for a short visit.

The buildings and furnishings are 5 star all the way but sadly the staff and breakfast are 1 star all of the way . |Room was very spacious and nice use of natural materials . |The check in was one of the worst ever. No welcome , smile or eye contact , no information just went through the motions .|Breakfast utter chaos , tables full of crockery , we had to wait despite there only being 8 people having breakfast only 10% full . Very poorly service and hot food was dire . Potato Tortilla was horrendous and I can vision the chef taking it out of the plastic and popping it in the|Microwave . Trolleys left next to tables with food scrapings and dirty dishes .|We were going to eat dinner but chose not to after our breakfast experience .|Whilst it’s a great building the rest is so poor I would give it a miss

We booked a two night stay to celebrate the completion of our Camino. Huge mistake. We were given a room facing the Plaza and it is impossible to sleep because of the partying happening. The windows are of very poor quality. We stayed in much less expensive hotels while on the Camino with excellent noise insulation. There is no sleep tonight for us at all. It is currently 2:30 am and there is no letting up of the music and yelling into microphones. Even with the AC fan running and earplugs, the horrendous noise prevents sleep. It is extremely loud. If you are given a room overlooking the plaza, absolutely refuse it if you want any sleep at all. Request a room on the other side. Very nice room, but without sleep it becomes a very bad one and a very pricey one at that. Unfortunately review videos do not include sound or I would share the noise fest party happening in our room. Edit after next night: We were moved for the following night and had a lovely, quiet room in the back of the hotel. We understand that “city noise” happens but in a 5* hotel, the windows should be of a quality that reduces it as much as possible. That is not the case with the rooms facing the front plaza.

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.

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!

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
