Hostal Albany Ancha

We are walking the Camino de Santiago Frances and made sure we had a short day coming into Leon. How perfect as we got to enjoy this beautiful room looking right out at the Cathedral! It was incredible to be able to open our balcony doors and listen to the bells and people below. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was great. Nice linens and towels. Check in was easy. The nice desk clerk held our backpacks for us since we arrived early until our room was ready. The value here is unbelievable. Our room felt 5 Star to these two weary Peregrinos!! I highly recommend. Buen Camino

We stayed in the Deluxe rooms next door, which is called Albany Ancha. The Albany Ancha apartments are centrally situated near the cathedral and the Plaza Mayor. If required, you can book parking at the Plaza Mayor underground parking garage for 15 Euros per night. Access to the garage is quite easy (although the exit angle needs a bit more care) and I’d describe the parking spaces a little tight. I have an Audi Q5 but we managed ok. The hotel advise in advance of the spaces to use, and they are well signposted. The company sent full details re the check in procedure etc to me by WhatsApp on the morning of our arrival. Our room, which is a Superior Double on the second floor, is smart with some attractive open brickwork. It has a comfortable bed, nice chair and ample storage and hanging space. The en-suite is perfectly fine with a decent shower. They also provide nice towels and toiletries. This room also has a narrow, enclosed balcony area that affords nice views of the cathedral and Calle Ancha but, although it has a couple of stools, it is neither practical nor comfortable to sit out for very long. From a location perspective you couldn’t get any better for exploring the main city sights and enjoying the old town bar and cafe scene. It is worth noting therefore that the shutters to the balcony effectively screen out any excess noise. Breakfast is available at numerous nearby cafes, and our cafe of choice was the very smart Victoria cafe on Calle Ancha (see separate review). We were here for three days and enjoyed our stay. We would certainly use Albany Ancha again.

“Albany”

This hostal is conveniently situated near the cathedral. I found service staff in Leon generally unfriendly and that was true of reception staff at this hostal. The room was clean and modern. There are cafes and restaurants located nearby.

The Albany Hostal has a great location close to the cathedral. The rooms are well appointed, stylish and spacious. Highly recommended. Unfortunately the Pilgrim Menu is not available until 8:30pm. When the target market is the Camino Pilgrims who have walked since dawn and will do so again the following day an 8:30pm start for dinner does not work. A pilgrim’s dinner at 8:30pm is a contradiction in terms. What a shame the menu looked good.
