Alda Centro León in Leon

The hot thing about this place were the location (right close to downtown and the historical part, with walkable distances everywhere) and the price (pretty affordable when compared to other options). The check in was also pretty easy to go through and fast, something that worked for us as we got into the hotel quite late (after 11pm). There was no real person there, though. The downside: 1. I visited during the second week of December and, though really cold outside, they just turned the heat on twice a day. I felt cold and couldn't sleep that well. 2. We were given a facing-the-street room without any sound blocking, so I could hear the cars and people talking, waking me up a few times. Also, there's internal sound blocking as well--you will hear TVs and other sounds from people. So the quality of sleep was really put into question here. 3. The room was just ok--not as you see in the pictures, but with older painting and decoration 4. The mattress was not comfortable, a little used, not providing good sleep quality If you're really short on budget and don't mind other people's sounds and external sounds, this might be a place for you. I will not go back to it.

This is NOT a two-star operation. Very limited reception hours, and when we showed up the bell out front to contact the desk was out of order. Waited on street, only got inside by chance. Cramped and uncomfortable and LOUD. Promises of in-room cooking and laundry facilities are lies. There is a shared kitchen, which was filthy, and you will need to bring your own forks. Clothes washing machine was broken. Got no sleep first night due to traffic noise; were switched to another room but still loud from neighbors, plumbing, people upstairs. The beds are terrible, and the towels are threadbare.
