Hotels near MAEC (Museo Arqueológico y Etnográfico), Leon

We were fortunate to stay at the wonderful new hotel Domus Oncinae at Oncina. It is right on the Camino. We had a lovely room overlooking a small sunny courtyard. The room was lovely with a great shower (no bath). We had pre-dinner drinks in the courtyard followed by an excellent 3 course pilgrims meal. We both had lovely fish dishes - bacalao and hake. The hotel only opened in late 2021, so everything is new and well designed. Apparently they are opening additional rooms and an Italian restaurant in mid-2022, so it should only improve. Domus also organised a transfer in their electric van from Villar de Mazarife where we had walked to that day and back again the next morning - about 15 mins each way. Highly recommended.

Very unimpressed with this AC Marriott property. Arrived on a Friday after a very hard week. Staff has been very hands off. Bathroom is outdated and below par. The worst of the worst was no food service, no room service, and basically no service on the weekends. Their restaurant is closed Fri, Sat, and Sun. Very disappointing after walking all day and expecting to enjoy a nice evening in my room. I’d pass on this property and spend your euros elsewhere. Done with Marriott in Europe after a several bad stays.

I spent 2 nights here in Leon on a break during the pilgrimage to Santiago, and it was a really excellent choice!! ^^ I really want to recommend it to people. The interior structure was also very good in harmony with antique and modern, and it felt like I was spending time in a mansion. I want to come again next time! ^^

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!

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.

the hotel is very well located, close to the Cathedral and main places to visit in Leon, but the best is the staff, very professional and kind. The rooms are nice, clean and confortable!!! Tripadvisor should reduce the requirement of 200 characters! that's too much for free!!!!!

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.

This hotel was really good with fabulous attentive staff. Large bedroom, comfortable bed, super bathroom and very clean. Outstanding breakfast and good cafe style dinner. Ten euros taxi ride into City. Good parking. Highly recommended
