“Wonderful hotel also doubling as a museum 🙂”
This is more than a hotel. It's a hotel in a museum or a museum in a hotel. Absolutely wonderful experience. Beautiful garden, corridors filled with historical exhibits - don't miss the art work showing an angel breast-feeding babies! Very nice staff. Restaurant with A/C is a rarity in the city. TV screen showing world cup matches. It was wonderful.

“Beautiful colonial style hotel”
Colonial style building with a beautiful and well-kept garden in the middle. Peaceful and quiet as a nice contrast to the streets that can be loud. Pleasant air temperature. Very clean. Comfortable beds. It has a gym, which is a big plus for me.

“Beautiful hotel in good location”
The room was a great size with a very comfy bed. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We didn’t eat so can’t comment on the food. It has a really nice pool, tucked away. Plus it’s a really good location for the centre

“Fantastic stay in Leon”
Room was spacious, clean and comfortable, with everything we could have wanted/ needed. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and really tasty. Staff very helpful (we booked transfers and our volcano boarding through them which was fantastic!). The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and the communal areas are lovely to sit in and listen to the birds. I wouldn’t recommend you stay anywhere else in Leon!
