We stayed in one of the rooms across the road from the restaurant, and the room itself was good. It was reasonably modern, clean and air-conditioned. The room was quiet, and had a small balcony with a reasonable view. What let the experienced down considerably was the rudeness and incompetence of the staff, who manage both the hotel and the restaurant/bar. We had a negative experience in every single interaction with them. We were staying here as part of our walk of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, meaning that we have stayed in a different location every single day - during all that time, never have we experienced anything like the very poor attitude to customers that is present at this place. Therefore, I cannot recommend this hotel for this reason. Have a look at reviews on this and other websites for an indication of what this place can be like.

Disliked: Staff & service
The lady who worked the front desk was extremely rude. They had a sign outside directing people to the cafe, but because i was not yet checked in, I had no idea that the cafe was a separate establishment. I knocked and tried the buttons but no one was available. So i tried to see if the doors slid open and the woman who works the front desk came up yelling. She continued to be extremely rude throughout the entire check in process and when i told her i didnt have a spanish number to give her, she stood there and stared at me without saying a word. It was the first experience in any establishment that I was welcomed so rudely.

NEVER AGAIN WAS UNBELIEVABLE
Room was in the eves of the building with no head room no storage no view.One window but you cant see out of it because its 6 ft off the floor in the rafters..Place is grubby..The bed was so flimsy it moved when you lent against it..No parking by the hotel although the pictures show spaces these are for deliveries and unloading only...The parking they do have access to cost is 18 euros a night per space and is a good walk away..One woman trying to sort a very poor breakfast but obviously couldnt cope to the detriment of service.Not her fault just needed more staff.

The room mattress... has seen better days a long time ago. It's a foam mattress that sinks in after a while... not comfortable at all. The building, as a whole, the facilities have stood still for some 30 years, or more... in general, everything needs good maintenance.

Will return
It has an excellent location; across the plaza from the Basilica of San Isidoro, just blocks from the cathedral and the barrio húmido section of town. An easy walk from the train station. The breakfast (in the restaurant section) was also popular with peregrinos; it was a joy to wish them Buen camino.

Don’t do it to yourself.
The room I stayed in was an attic with no light, and no usable space or furniture. It had nothing to do with the presented pictures and was not even in the advertised building. The wifi did not reach, and the window (too high to look out of) was the size of a post card. The included breakfast (which they denied in the morning till I showed my booking details) is a piece of stale pastry and jam, period. No eggs, no meats, no cheese, no fruits... I travel full time and I routinely stay in places much worse than this. The cheating, I do not consider acceptable. I paid EUR 92. Hotels.com provided a EUR 50 discount voucher following my complaint. I suggest staying somewhere else or being prepared for surprises.

Loved this classy old fashioned hotel. Ok, it’s not the most modern, but timelessly classic (eg phone beside the bed).

Way too expensive for what it is and not worth the money. Very dated interior and run down. The shower was held together with duct tape and had mildew. It was also quite noisy as other reviews have mentioned. I have had much nicer hostels for 15€.

itBoccalino has the best location en Leon if you are a fan of museums and historical places is next to the cathedral and museum of San Ildefonso . Just a few minutes form the Leon cathedral that has the best gothic stained glasses of Europe.

Good position in the square. Near the tourist train that runs every half hour. As we were only staying one night this meant we saw all the sites. Close to bars restaurants. Good over night stop

A room with no sound proofing
The walls are very thin. When you have a neighbour having a row with his wife on speaker for an hour in the middle of the night it becomes impossible The view from the room was incredible. Initial service was poor but follow up service was good.

No on-site parking, and noisy all night.
I have stayed here several times before and always parked my moyorcycle directly outside with no problem - but now they say this is not allowed. There is free public M/C parking on the street down the slope. There is always a lot of noise in the plaza outside until early morning, and then the pilgrims can also be noisy as they depart while it is still dark!
