We enjoyed our stay here. Good breakfast included with 3 choices. Really good pancakes. The pool is very small but good to cool down from the intense Lèon heat. Small gym too which we enjoyed. Location is good, about a 12 minute walk to the main square.

“Relaxed oasis in Leon”
The hostel setup is great - feels like a little Oasis in the middle of Leon with lots of patio & fresh air space. The kitchen is pristine & well equipped and the complimentary breakfast was super yummy (esp. the pancakes). The staff is friendly, the beds are comfy & everything is really clean. Honestly one of the most comfortable hostel experiences I had in a while.

“Really enjoyed our stay!”
Great hostel in Leon that is not directly in the center which makes it quieter and nicer. It takes around 5-10 min walking to get to the cathedral. The pool is small but good for refreshment. The pancakes in the morning (you can choose from 3 breakfast options) were the best pancakes we had so far. The kitchen is well equipped and we always found a spot to relax. It was easy to book a taxi through the hostel (to a fair price).

“Spacious, clean and accommodating hostel”
Spacious and clean hostel with a relaxed and homy atmosphere. It was exactly the kind of accommodation I was looking for. The staff was friendly too and they serve great breakfast! Too bad I could only stay 1 night, would have loved to stay more.

The owner was friendly and helpful and, as a South African, easy to communicate with (in English - his Spanish was lacking). Each bed had its own curtain and outlets, with plenty of lockers available. Gorgeous building with nice common areas, a pool, and even a gym. Free homemade hot breakfast every morning (3 options) along with coffee and tea. Lots of information for travelers in the "lobby" about activities, transportation, nearby areas. Free drinking water.

Very well located, in a quiet street but in only short walking distance to the central place and a various offer of good restaurants nearby. Very kind and welcoming stuff and a nice common atmosphere. Superclean rooms and common kitchen. Good breakfast and coffee for free. Very cozy common area. I would highly recommend this place...
