Excelente Precio calidad para visitar León

Excelente precio-calidad, el lugar está cerca de la Catedral principal de León, ofrecen tour y el desayuno está incluido en el precio. Las habitaciones tienen acceso al jardín, muy lindo y con algunas tortugas sueltas!

Would recommend

Good location.. lovely big dorms with fans. Bathroom was clean. Lively bar but dorms are tucked away in the back, on a gorgeous courtyard and some how the noise doesn’t travel, so they were quiet!

A comfortable, well located stay with small but pleasant rooms set around a pretty garden.

Nice quiet hotel rooms set in pleasant courtyard garden reserved for guests. Very centrally located for sights, market and restaurants. Staff were friendly and breakfast/dining area was good. Large bar area at the front, facing onto the street which had live music in the evenings which stopped at a reasonable time.

The dining area used by hotel guests was also used by a tour operator and large tour groups gathered there mornings evenings.

Nice cosy hotel at the heart of city

Great location. The hotel is in the back of a restaurant snd tour operator. Room was basic but cosy. Staff very informative.

Breakfast was poor, no juice or tea just coffee. Bed was somewhat hard and bar music can be heard from rooms.

This is our second time staying at this hostel. It's priced well and is very convenient for booking tours and is ver

location is great, it's clean, food is good and fairly inexpensive. the staff are awesome, beds are comfortable, the guest room area is very quiet even when there is live music in the front. easy to book tours and easy to walk in town.

no secured parking and the street parking is hard to come by until evening when other businesses close for the day. No hot water.

Such a great experience, would definitely come back

The rooms were huge, the beds comfortable, great water pressure, pet friendly. There's no air conditioning or hot water, but the water isn't all that cold, so it was nice to take a refreshing shower after sweating all day in the heat and humidity. The fans give plenty of cool circulating air in the evening, so we found that AC wasn't an issue. The back area where the rooms are is VERY quiet. Internet in the bar is very good, in the rooms was hit or miss. Delicious food and wonderful service and staff. Extremely accommodating. Our first day on arrival was hectic as we crossed the Honduras/Nica border and it was very frustrating. We were tired and starving and I asked if the restaurant was open. Lieven sent the menu to me on whatsapp so we could order immediately as the kitchen would be closing within an half hour of our arrival. He helped us find a secure parking lot just down the street, helped with literally every question we had about the country and where to find things. The ambiance of this place is lively in the bar and restaurant and tranquil in the hotel area. Such a unique hostel. I would absolutely recommend to anyone traveling through or to León to come and stay here. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Our son wanted to stay for a month.

It was so great even our kid keeps choosing to come back here!

This is not our first time here, or our second. We keep coming back, and then booking longer stays, so that's saying something. The ambiance is wonderful. They have a pool table, live music and a bar area separate from the dining area where they also have a tour desk for the Volcano Day tours. There is a Lavanderia (laundromat) across the street if you need laundry done. The garden is beautiful and very comfortable. The food is good and the menu has something for everyone and at reasonable prices. The vibe just can't be beat. The cleaning staff are wonderful, the rooms are spacious, clean and very quiet in the back garden the beds are comfortable and even though it's hot in Leon, the rooms with the fans are sufficiently cool enough to not need air conditioning. The location is awesome. Easy walk to everything in town or even an easy taxi ride. Just walk out the front door and wave at a cab driving by. We took a tour through Volcano Day tours and went volcano boarding. The guides were awesome, they let us take our dog. We were nervous having her on the lava rock, but it didn't cut up her paws at all. She made it all the way to the top and wanted to chase after us as we went down, but Tony (the guide) picked her up and walked down the volcano with her to avoid getting too much debris in her paws. They take pictures and video of the entire excursion, so no need to bring your own phone if you don't want.

There's no hot water. But it's hot enough in Leon that you'll want a cold shower multiple times a day anyway. The lights in our room were pretty dim.

Für mich typisch León: kolonialistisch, einladend, absolut einen Besuch wert.

Ich habe mich in diesem Hostel sehr wohl gefühlt. Ein Haus und Innenhof im Kolonialstyle, einfach aber ausreichend, Frühstück mit Auswahlmöglichkeit, gute Küche, Bar und äußerst nettes Personal, das mich immer gut beraten und mir geholfen hat. Obwohl das Hostel mitten im Zentrum liegt, war es absolut ruhig im Zimmer - nichts zu hören vom Stadtlärm.

Natur hat ihre zwei Seiten… die Bepflanzung im Innenhof ist wunderhübsch und schafft eine schöne Atmosphäre, stellt aber auch das Zuhause diverser Tiere dar. Eine Riesenspinne hat sich von dort aus eines Nachts in unser Badezimmer geschlichen. Eine harte Probe für die Nicht-Spinnenliebhaber.

Convenience for a fair price.

ViaVia is central to everything touristy in Leon. ViaVia has a pretty cool bar. Volcano Day tours is also located inside the property to help you arrange tours and transfers across Nicaragua.

The drainage in the bathroom was slow. There isn’t much of a common area within the hostel area you’d have to go to the bar and restaurant are which can get loud.

Superb

I loved that the hotel and garden area was lovely and calm, but could go to the bar out the front which always had people around if I felt like some company. The staff were always friendly and helpful. Location was easy to get anywhere I needed to go. It was really easy to get advice and book tours through the tour company which is based in the same building.

Not great, but not terrible. But not great.

Friendly cleaning gal, good location, cool (but hot) building.

Staff doesn’t seem happy to be there, minus the one cleaning gal. Less than 1 fan per bed—inexcusable in a place as hot as Leon. Also, bodies create heat, so reducing number of beds in dorm might alleviate overheating issue.

Good stay but nothing extraordinary

Very good atmosphere in the hostel and there is a party hostel across the street if you want to party but without the sleepless nights. They organise great tours from the hostel.

The check in procedure was a bit weird, they could have given more info on what to see and do. Bathrooms aren’t great but they do the trick.
