Einfaches Hotel, das ok ist und eine ok Bewertung verdient, aber keine ausgezeichnete
Pros:

Der Innenhof ist nett gemacht und die Lage ist sehr gut.

Cons:

Also 9,2 auf Booking fand ich jetzt bissl viel. Es sind einfache Zimmer, Frühstück nichts besonderes, insgesamt sehr hellhörig (ich habe 2x in 2 Tagen das Personal gebeten, sich um 7uhr morgens doch nicht laut auf dem hallenden Flur zu unterhalten). Der Pool ist eher ein Tauchbecken.

Erholen mitten in der quirligen Stadt
Pros:

Wunderschönes ehemaliges Kloster mit ruhigem Innenhof mitten im Zentrum. Zwischen den Stadterkundungen erholen auf der Veranda und wir haben auch den sehr sauberen, erfrischenden Pool zur Abkühlung genossen. Gutes Frühstück, engagiertes Personal - alles tiptop.

Pros:

Delicious breakfast with lots of fresh fruit. The staff were very friendly, and a special thank you to Rosa and Sherley, who answered every single question and were always happy to help. The hotel’s location was excellent, and the gardens were beautiful.

Cons:

The pool was rather small, but refreshing enough to cool down in the León heat.

Ganz nett, aber einige Mängel bei guter zentraler Lage
Pros:

Schöner Innenhof, zentrale Lage in der Altstadt von Leon.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind dunkel; kleine vergitterte Fenster, mit Pflanzen direkt vor dem Fenster; icht wirklich schön. Dazu fehlen für ein 4 Sterne Haus einige Dinge: Duschgel, Wasserkocher, Kaffee etc.

Der Fitnessraum muss dringend überarbeitet werden, billige Plastikgeräte und kaum zu gebrauchen.

Der Pool ist viel kleiner als die Bilder vermuten lassen und es gibt genau 2 Liegen ohne Sonnenschutz.
