And do take the time to visit not only the Cathedral (best stain glass windows in the world imo - pick a time when the sun pours in) but also the Basilica de San Isidoro with the pantheon of the kings of Leon, containing some wonderfully preserved 12th century murals. Give it enough time - entry numbers are restricted and through an air lock and sometimes you have to wait a few minutes.
Yes this is an excellent and very atmospheric historic hotel. I stayed here for 2 nights last August on my way to Santiago. The accommodation and breakfast is first class equivalent to 4 or 5 star establishment at homeThis place was recommended by a Spanish guide. I will be staying there in May and it is a very historical building. I have stayed in the parador 5 times and this looks similar

TomI stayed at the Hostal Albany in 2015. The location is great, right off the main square by the cathedral. The rooms are nice and have private bathrooms. I will stay there again.
NO Tom!! Next year you will stay with Max and me at the Benedictine Pilgrim monastey with the huge room with about 85 guys and tiny little windows and guys snoring and making ungodly sounds all night and be a true Pilgrim!!!I stayed at the Hostal Albany in 2015.

I second this suggestion. For 15€ or so you can also access the water spa as well: the pool and its many water jets are great for tired pilgrim muscles, or for muscles about to start out. Hotel Paris has a similar setup, but Hotel Q!H is my favourite...http://www.hotelqhcentroleon.com/
Next to catedral but very quiet.Location unbeattable.
Nice staff and a lovely cafeteria /bar.
They throw in breakfast too!!!Hah! You make it sound pretty enticing.
Yes closed for 2 years, as it was in such a bad state of repair.Try the Hotel Paris Calle Ancha, which also has a small Spa. The hotel is about 200 metres from the Barria Humedo and the CathedralHello! I will be starting my Camino in Leon and hoped to stay at the Parador for a couple of days to enjoy the city and this hotel. Unfortunately, it is closed on my days. Can anyone suggest another good place to stay for 2 days - private room & bathroom, good location, etc?
