Hotels Near Parque Santos Ovejero in Leon

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.

The front desk service is warm and standardized. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need. The location of the hotel is simply good, walking to the train station, about one kilometer to various major attractions. The restaurant buffet breakfast is also good.

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.

The hotel is very good, the hotel staff are very enthusiastic, gave us maps, printed tickets, the hotel environment is very good, you can see the University of Leon directly, behind it is a big supermarket, the hotel can cook, my fiancee and I made porridge, Boiled noodles, the bus is also convenient, 6 roads and 1 road can be reached, it is worth living

Stayed for two nights after two weeks walking the Camino. It was our best accommodation of the trip, a large room with a good shower and air conditioning. Breakfast was quite plentiful with fruit, cereal and eggs. The hotel is in the old town and quite close to the cathedral, however the central location means there are lots of bars and restaurants, and we could hear the noise from the street until after 1am on the Friday and even later on the Saturday. Overall though a good hotel, with a restaurant that looked really good, but unfortunately was booked up during our stay.

Built in the 14th century in 1370, this building provides the location of this quaint hotel that is centrally located right at the beginning of the desirable and touristy “barrio húmedo” section of León. Within a short walking distance to all shops, restaurants, bars and the main attraction, the Leon Cathedral, you’ll never be far from anything you could want. There’s a restaurant in the hotel that I heard was very good (although on the pricey side) but I never ate there. The local bars and cafe’s all serve tapas gratis with any beverage ordered and there’s no shortage of places to eat! The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful and even though they have set hours at the front desk, every guest gets their own code to get in if it’s past those hours. I’d read that since it’s an old building, that the walls are thin and it can get quite loud, especially if you are closer to street level or over restaurant. I was on 3rd floor and had no issues. Sometimes you could hear people coming in late and the old wood floors creak a little, but it never bothered me and guests were pretty respectful. Nice large tub and shower area. Small tv, that I never used once…no need to when there’s so much nearby to do! I’d stay here again for sure!

Excellent service and location. Stayed a few days and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would repeat. Walking distsnce to all major sites. Room was very comfortsble snd restaurant service was great. It is also in the middle of Plaza Mayor lots of available restaurants and tapas bars next to hotel.

We stayed in the hotel portion of the complex not the ”Albergue” side. Clean, modern hotel. Easy walk to bus or train station (we walked from the train station). Close to restaurants and sights. We were doing the Camino de Santiago and received our rented electric bicycles at Hospederia Monastica Pax. They have a court yard in back where we received and stored our bikes until we were ready to start riding. This option was obviously very important in our choosing this hotel. A good option for a restaurant would be ”Los Cazurros” in Plaza San Martin. An easy 10 min walk as you make your way to the ”Plaza Mayor”. Nice large stairs and hallways. Decent sized room and bathroom. Large tiled shower with glass door. Liquid soap and shampoo provided (even toothbrush/ toothpaste/ comb/ shave kit!!). Very quiet at night. We had window facing back that can be opened to let fresh air in (No screen as is common in Europe). A/C worked very well, we were amazed at how silent it was. We chose not to have the Breakfast at 15 Euros as we found it too expensive. We found a place that opens EARLY for coffee and croissants at about 49 Calle la Rua. There were no other places open in the immediate vicinity for an early coffee. We recommend and would definitely repeat again.

The Silken Luis de Leon is rated a four star hotel, but it certainly didn't feel like one. I travel a lot and always try to stay in four star hotels in Europe. The hotel restaurant is only open four days a week for two hours per day. The rooms do not have complimentary water bottles nor do they have coffee machines. There is complimentary coffee in the lobby, but only after 11:30 a.m.. There is no conditioner nor body lotion, and no feather pillows, ie. the hotel lacks all the amenities that I would expect in a four star hotel. I will say that my room was clean and comfortable, but then that is what I would have expected in a three star hotel also. I guess my peeve is that the hotel provides none of the amenities that I would have expected in a four star hotel...
