Located in León, Check In León features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is close to INCIBE, León Arena and FGULEM. San Marcos Convent is 3.7 km away and Casa Botines is 1.7 km from the hostel.

The staff is friendly and works so hard, he keeps the place always clean. The air conditioning save my trip in summer. The towel and bed top sheet need to be paid extra, so I brought my own top sheet. But the owner provided a blanket for free, very good service. I stayed 7 days, met some friends, it was a very good trip.

    One night in shared dormitory. Room was a little cramped but the bed was comfortable and there are lockers to store your rucksack etc. Nice pleasant hostel with clean bathroom, hot water and well equipped kitchen (if into self catering). There is a washing machine, a sink where you can wash clothes by hand and an outside area to dry them after. It's on the route of the Camino Frances just before you hit the city of Leon, so convenient if walking the route. There is also a bar on site

    The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Having a washing machine was a bonus. Great location in what felt like a safe neighbourhood. The supermarket was only a short walk away as were a number of small tapas bars.

    We have stayed here before, and will do again. We appreciate the great location to the old town, comfy rooms and safe parking. This Silken hotel has got it right with regard to group bookings - even though I booked three rooms for us and friends, we all paid individually for our rooms. Silken Hotel Vitoria please take note! This is how it should be!
