I stayed in the new section of the hotel, which was spacious and offered beautiful views over the gardens towards the river. The availability of only a few double beds might disappoint those seeking a romantic stay, but overall, the experience was below expectations for a hotel of this category.

My stay at the Parador was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though typical of a Parador, lacked any picturesque views and had a slight tobacco smell from older times. The service was a hit and miss, with well-supplied food stations but slow fried egg service. The location offered convenient access to amenities but suffered from noise due to high ceilings. The dining experience varied from exceptional to below standard depending on the meal. Overall, a stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel is located in a historic wing with a Plateresque style facade overlooking Plaza San Marcos, providing a unique and charming atmosphere. The rooms in the modern addition are lovely and feature excellent WiFi reception, with comfortable monogrammed pillows adding a touch of luxury. However, the service could be more efficient due to waiting times at reception, and the dining experience had some room for improvement in terms of quality.

The hotel, set in a castle with a medieval ambiance, offers a historical experience overlooking Plaza San Marcos. Though not ideal for being a bit of a walk from Leon's center, the setting is picturesque and unique.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful mix of charm and comfort. The rooms, set in a wonderful building with antiques and paintings, perfectly reflected the overall ambiance of the hotel. While basic, they truly captured the essence of the property. The service was warm and helpful, though at times a bit distant. The location was central with easy access to the town's highlights. Dining offered a taste of authentic Spanish cuisine, even though service could be slow due to the bustling atmosphere. Overall, a stay here is a good value for enjoying Leon's splendor.
