Hotel berhampiran Era del Moro Garden, Leon

Good location, 15 min. from the train, and adjacent to the histórico centro. We had a Junior suite, and the room size was fine. We did not take “advantage”of the €16 per person breakfast as we ate for a total of €8 across the street at a local cafe. For a 4 star hotel, there were no guest robes or slippers in the room, the bath products were of low quality, no Kleenex, and the toilet paper single ply. The material on the couch in our suite was tired and needed repair. I don’t know how a handicapped person could access this hotel as there is no ramp at the door, and we saw no elevator to climb the 10 or so steps to reception. We have stayed in Barceló hotels before, but this one was of the poorest quality.

Terrific hotel located in the heart of old town near the cathedral and Gaudi building. It’s Comfortable, charming, and has tons of amazing little touches which felt both authentic and modern at the same time. Stay here - you won’t be disappointed. Our only warning: If you have a car - pay for the parking underground garage in lieu of the free parking lot ‘nearby.’ The lot is close by foot, but I endured some white knuckled driving to reach it because the route wraps around the old town which prohibits most vehicle traffic. Lastly, make sure to find and enjoy the barrio humedo if you like to party. The so-called ‘wet’ neighborhood certainly deserves its name.

Me gustó la ubicación,en menos de un cuarto de hora andando llegabas a cualquier punto de tu interes ,descansamos muy bien .Calidad/precio de la habitación muy buena(que se viera la catedral desde la ventana de la habitación a lo lejos ...fue un plus).Queríamos disfrutar de la ciudad y desde el hotel fue fácil.

Modern technology and architecture inside of an historical building where you also can enjoy the past. There are lots of paintings in the different floors so it feels as if you are staying also in a modern art museum. Extremely nice employees.

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...

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.

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.

Excelente ubicación, escasamente 3 minutos de la Pza de España (Ayuntamiento) y a 10 de ka Catedral y el Palacio de Gaudí. Habitación muy amplia con baño conpleto con bañera y también plato de ducha. Personal muy amable y atento. Dispone de Spa aunque se echa en falta una cafetería, bar.. donde poder sent**** y tomar algo tranquilamente. También dispone de un enorme aparcamiento para dejar los coches con acceso interior al hotel. De volver por esta coudad, ya sé dónde me hospedaré de nuevo.
