Hotels near Tercer Castillín (2304 m.), Leon

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

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.

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.

What a great hotel, full of history, with a not to be missed museum and ancient convent next door. The Parador is a renovation of the sixteenth-century Monastery-Hospital of San Marcos for pilgrims walking the Camino Frances, and is one of the most important monuments of the Spanish Renaissance. Our room was in the renovated part overlooking the Plaza de San Marcos. It had a spectacular view, and was quiet, spacious, charming, and luxurious. The art in the common areas is impressive as are the exposed excavations of the ancient hospital and earlier dwellings. A great place to stay for a last night of comfort if you are planning on starting your Camino in Leon. It is located right on The Way with a monument to the pilgrim right out the front door.

stayed there with family for two nights, perfect location for strolling around the city and enjoying what Leon has to offer hotel has an interesting interior and has decent offering of food, as a tea drinker would prefer some better options at breakfast overall satisfied

A very nice hotel in a good location, approx a 15 min walk to the centre. Room clean and comfortable. It was disappointing that the bar/snack bar was not operational due to the coffee machine being out of order and reception had no idea when it would be repaired, we stayed for three nights but it was out of order for the whole of our stay. The breakfast room was bright & airy with friendly staff and a reasonable selection of food. An enjoyable stay.

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.

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.
