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.

Conveniently situated in León, Globetrotter Hostel provides air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a restaurant. The property is close to several well-known attractions, 200 metres from Palacio del Conde Luna, 800 metres from FGULEM and 300 metres from Casa Botines. Private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

The dorms seem well-arranged with plenty of assigned storage space per bed, privacy curtains, and bedside light/socket. Compact kitchenette but ample centrally-sited dining and lounge area. Location as central as one can get - two doors out from the cathedral square. I arrived after check-in and saw no one until a few shy guests in the morning. When I checked out at 9.30 I had to do it and pay at the mother hotel opposite. Fresh bed linen, bath towel and shampoo/gel provided. The price was rock bottom due to low demand which suited me fine. Ample sanitary facilities compared to other hostels of its kind. Probably a 9.5 but rounded up.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Well thought out design, new, and clean. I've stayed in quite a few hostels on the Camino. The dormitory bathroom showers are spacious with room to leave your gear secure and dry. Doors soft close, so disturbances are minimised. Clothes were washed and dried for 6 euros. There was a space for bikes too. Supermarkets not too far away. Cupboard provided with key to secure belongings. Use one euro like a shopping trolley to get the key... You get your euro back each time you unlock.

    Great place to stay. Beautiful building and very well converted into a hostel. The beds were really comfy and the dorm was laid out really well so it didn’t feel like you were sharing with 11 others. Best hostel I’ve stayed in.

    Great central location near cathedral in quiet street. Cheap, 39Eur double room with ensuite. Friendly staff. Good choice if on a budget but avoid if you don't like noise or want a bit of space.

    The hostel was perfect for my needs as I was attending an academic conference. I loved the cozy castle feeling. The staff were incredibly helpful and answered all of my questions about transport and the local neighborhood. Anyone looking for simplicity and comfort despite traveling on a budget will be very happy with this perfect, atmospheric hostel experience.
