Hostal Albany in Leon

clean, comfortable, cost and location. I've stayed twice on different caminos. We decided to stay another night but they only had the annexe. The annexe is 5 minutes walk away, down the street with the superb Jamon Jamon in it, and a bit of right left, straight on. When we arrived it looked dodgy until we opened the door to our room and it had 3 beds and was just as clean and comfortable as the main hotel. Brilliant like most of Leon the price is so much lower than it would be normally.

Very nice and clean room. Comfortable beds. Very close to the cathedral and restaurants. Sound proof windows worked well. Staff was helpful.

We stayed in the Deluxe rooms next door, which is called Albany Ancha. The Albany Ancha apartments are centrally situated near the cathedral and the Plaza Mayor. If required, you can book parking at the Plaza Mayor underground parking garage for 15 Euros per night. Access to the garage is quite easy (although the exit angle needs a bit more care) and I’d describe the parking spaces a little tight. I have an Audi Q5 but we managed ok. The hotel advise in advance of the spaces to use, and they are well signposted. The company sent full details re the check in procedure etc to me by WhatsApp on the morning of our arrival. Our room, which is a Superior Double on the second floor, is smart with some attractive open brickwork. It has a comfortable bed, nice chair and ample storage and hanging space. The en-suite is perfectly fine with a decent shower. They also provide nice towels and toiletries. This room also has a narrow, enclosed balcony area that affords nice views of the cathedral and Calle Ancha but, although it has a couple of stools, it is neither practical nor comfortable to sit out for very long. From a location perspective you couldn’t get any better for exploring the main city sights and enjoying the old town bar and cafe scene. It is worth noting therefore that the shutters to the balcony effectively screen out any excess noise. Breakfast is available at numerous nearby cafes, and our cafe of choice was the very smart Victoria cafe on Calle Ancha (see separate review). We were here for three days and enjoyed our stay. We would certainly use Albany Ancha again.

Excellent location to right near the Cathedral.
Clean comfortable room with a bath
Very close to the Cathedral and good restaurants.

Simple mixed hotel-hostel in an old building. Very polite desk-service and very clean rooms with air-conditioning. Amazing location, right next to the Cathedral. Rooms facing the main street might be noisy (as expected). Parking might be an issue, you can ask at the reception for the nearest free parking zones. We found one 5-10 mins away but maybe we got lucky.

Great value. Very clean, comfortable bed. Fantastic location. The bathroom was new and felt very fancy. We had some laundry done and it was great too.
