Hospedería Pax

I feel bad that I forgot to do this review right after our stay but maybe it’ll come back to me as I text this now. Nothing bad happened. Our room overlooked the square and historic buildings. The spa tub was wonderful so book that level room because it’s worth it. The bathroom was very clean. We were able to explore León on foot easily from this location. The bathrobes were nice and necessary at the end of June because it was freezing at night and we hadn’t packed sweaters or warm clothing. We had a delicious lunch in the hotel restaurant one of the days. We bar-hopped on our last day as there was a festival of some sort happening and it was very lively in that area. The bars outside and in front of the hotel were all good fun. We went to three of them. Maybe there are only 3 there?

An amazing little hotel. Extremely neat and tidy. The rooms were decorated simply but elegantly; the bed was amazingly comfortable. The air conditioning worked great and the breakfast was delicious. Built next to a convent and a stop for pilgrims on the Camino, we enjoyed a great location just minutes from the main walking area in Léon, and also enjoyed talking to some of the pilgrims making their way through Spain. I was sad to leave this hotel.

This is an excellent hotel. The first thing we experienced was the cordial and helpful receptionist. She was super friendly and informative. She has a good sense of humor and her English was more than adequate. She helped us solve a problem by showing us how to get to a shopping center that would be open on a Sunday. The room was large and comfortable and had all the amenities. One thing we really loved was an icon of the Madonna and child in the room. This added to a very Catholic feel to the place. We were reminded of the religious significance of this area. The location of the hotel was very close to a convent where they had a pilgrims blessing which was part of the vesper prayers of the convent. It was very beautiful.

The hotel is located right inside the city walls and it's easy to get around. You could walk anywhere in 15- 20 minutes. There is secure parking too. It is a more modern hotel than I anticipated from looking at the outside and was very comfortable. The staff could not have been nicer and we had a great breakfast too.

The hotel is in a fantastic location overlooking the beautiful El Grano square. Great range of tapas/pinchos bars and restaurants very close by. We particularly liked the little place across the square called Popina and had a wonderful small but simple meal there with a superb glass or two of Rioja. All the sights of central Leon are easily walkable including the beautiful cathedral and Casa Bottines which has great museum for Gaudi lovers.
