Comfortable stay in a unique setting
Pros:

We stayed during the week and the hotel was very quiet. The open layout of the hotel with the garden in the middle and the rooms around is very nice. The room itself including the bathroom was spacious and had all the amenities we needed. There was even a minibar in the room which we didn't find in other hotels within this price range in the region. The hotel is located a short walk from the main square and plenty of restaurants.

Cons:

The staff serving breakfast paid more attention to their mobile phones than to the customers. They didn't inform us about the option to order freshly-made eggs. We only found out on the second day when the table next to us asked for them.

Fantastic stay in Leon
Pros:

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!

Cons:

Nothing. Our stay was faultless. Thank you.

A GOOD PLACE TO STAY
Pros:

I stayed here during my tour of central America. This is a lovely hotel, a lovely old building with a lovely central garden. My room was well equipped. Meals were taken in the hotel restaurant. The hotel claims to have a gym/fitness room bu in fact there were only three pieces of equipment of which only one was working properly. Very close to the city centre.

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.
