One of my favorites. Loved the art collections, gorgeous building with a lengthy and interesting history. Room was everything you expect in modern luxury. Understated and very comfortable. I should have booked more days. Restaurant and bar were great. Really enjoyed dinner and the local specialties. What always makes a great hotel is the staff. Without warm welcoming, attentive staff no hotel in any class can get 5 stars from me. I would give the staff here extra stars. Every member I interacted with was exceptionally nice and very competent. I loved my stay. Gracias.
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.
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.
By far the most impressive hotel I’ve stayed in, Parador de Leon is a Palace which has been skilfully converted into a luxurious hotel. Works of art, sculptures and historical features blend with very modern amenities giving a fascinating ambiance, the rooms are generously sized, bathrooms amazing, and I highly recommend this place.
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!
