Hotels Near Iglesia de Armunia in Leon

This was my least favorite of the AC hotels I stayed in during my trip in northern Spain.. It was located in a relatively unremarkable area and just overall was very dark. The one great thing about its location was across the street from the department store and their massive grocery hall in the basement. Staff opinions were mixed for me - some of the front office staff were wonderful and helpful, another in particular always seemed put off by requests for information or assistance. The room was fine, although with no view of anything in particular. Like the theme of the hotel, it just seemed gloomy. I was happy for the comfort of this hotel but not its location. I'd have to think about whether I would stay here again.

I liked the location,in less than a quarter of an hour walking you reach any point of your interest, we have a very good rest. Quality/price of the very good room(that the cathedral is viewed from the window of the room to far ... was a plus We wanted to enjoy the city and from the hotel it was easy.

From the moment I walked in the door during my Camino, Carmen at the front desk was brilliant. My room was not ready but she made me feel at home and she has been a great help in providing information about the local area, restaurants, etc. The hotel itself is very nice with spacious rooms and a great bathroom. Just what I needed after a week on the Camino. Highly recommended.

The room is OK, clean, spacious and tidy, the bathroom and bathroom are separate, this is very like, the front desk service is very good, there is fluent English, breakfast is not eaten, I don’t know how, the door can be temporarily parked, there are many restaurants nearby, the location is very convenient

Stayed here for one night only, on a half board basis. Beautiful historical building with lots to see in the hotel. Room was fabulous, at the front with a balcony. Bed was enormous and very comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were great. Friendly English speaking staff. Secure parking with cover. You can drive up to the front and offload bags, before driving round the back to park.

We have been sightseeing in the area and reserved this Melia with great expectations. I’m afraid Mr Escarrer would be a bit disappointed. On the plus side, the receptionists were really friendly and attentive, with the right helpful attitude. We could say the same about the staff in the cafeteria. The downside was the quality of the food in the cafeteria/bar/restaurant. Frozen chips in a Melia? The chicken fingers to pick at seemed to be a chicken escalope sliced and refried, making it dry and tasteless. Perhaps the menu ought to be relooked at because the premises are really nice. The room was fine although having to go to a vending machine in the lobby to get your minibar products kind of defeats the purpose of a minibar in the room. Breakfast was adequate although not what you expect from a hotel advertised as a Melia affiliate. All on all, a “pass” thanks to the staff.

Overall nice hotel, ok reception, BUT the employees seemed forced to be untruthful when it came to whether or not the A/C worked. The window to one of our rooms was open upon our arrival and the so called A/C or ventilation system had to be turned on. It started, but there was no cool air. We were offered to change rooms and embarked upon a wild goose chase trying to find a cooler room on the floor below. The window in the new room was also wide open, letting in the hot outside air. The A/C did not work there either so we stayed in the original rooms. Large rooms and large bathrooms. The shower was a bit small for the size of the bathroom and the shower door in one room was very creaky. The employees tried hard, but the management was clearly lacking.

Last January I had the wonderful fortune of stumbling upon this place… and what an experience it was! I found Domus Oncinae after having walked 18 days from Roncesvalles. I have completed the Camino de Santiago Francés seven times in the last 15 years and I know how difficult and unlikely it is to come upon something truly original in a journey as well established as the Camino, yet the people at Domus Oncinae have managed to do so, and they have done it in a great way. The place might seem unassuming at first, after all Domus Oncinae is located in a relatively discreet and less traveled variant of the Camino, in Oncina de la Valdoncina. Once you step inside, you realize this is a very different place unlike what you might have expected. Calling it a “rural house” or “a high end albergue” or “a fancier than usual hostal” would be a disservice to Domus. In a way, it is all of those things, but the owners and the staff have made it something much greater than the sum of its parts. For those Peregrinos who -just like me- have walked long for many days, it is an oasis of silence, peace, privacy, delicious food and the BEST mattress I have ever slept on while on the Camino (trust me, I have tried about 250 beds). For those starting in León, this could be the perfect way to transition between the noise of daily life onto their pilgrimage. The rooms and overall feeling are quite minimalist, yet nothing feels sparse, enpty or lacking. It is evident that Juan Salguero and his wife Fabiola, the proprietors, have carefully chosen every single detail, you can tell nothing has been left to chance. The food was traditional and elevated, as well as abundant, and I let the owner choose for me, a decision which I do not regret at all. One of the most unique aspects is their philosophy regarding technology and sustainability. From beautiful headboards made from the old structural beams and ancient farming tools beautifully displayed as art pieces in a museum, to the convenience of usb ports and opening the door to your room using an app, their electric vehicles and solar panels, this is not only a modern accommodation, this is a socially aware vision and a solid passion. I like to think that if the late Steve Jobs had ever decided to enter the hospitality industry, this is exactly what he would have created. I have plans to stay here again in the near future and I can’t wait to strap my boots on and make Domus Oncinae, once again, an oasis in my Camino.
