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.

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.

I got into Leon earlier than planned, one hour before check-in time, but the gentleman was very understanding and helpful. He let me in, helped me with the check-in cheerfully. He allowed me to stowaway my pack in the locker the next day to rest and walk around León a little, and let me pick it up when I’m ready to move on in the afternoon.  Everything is adequate, clean and well organized. Thanks.

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.

    We have stayed here before, and will do again. We appreciate the great location to the old town, comfy rooms and safe parking. This Silken hotel has got it right with regard to group bookings - even though I booked three rooms for us and friends, we all paid individually for our rooms. Silken Hotel Vitoria please take note! This is how it should be!

    Great location on the Plaza Mayor with lots of bars just outside the front door. Modern and clean hotel and comfortable room (with a bath which was a bonus). We paid for room only as there were plenty of places to get breakfast just outside which were also a lot cheaper. Easy to find and handy parking just below the hotel.

    Great location with extremely friendly staff who spoke good English. Bed extremely comfortable and really quiet atmosphere throughout the hotel. Only a 10 minute walk into centre of town with good Tapas available if you go down quiet back streets away from tourist centre. Hotel parking, although not cheap at Eu20 a night is extremely convenient via lift adjacent to hotel with direct access to rooms/hotel lobby.

    Great location - in the centre of León. Nicest bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a hostel. Me and my friend got a whole 8 person room to ourselves. Lovely lounge area. There is a sink, some kitchen utensils and a microwave
