Impressive,interesting location,architecturally a jewel,however,the entrance driveway needs more thorough cleaning, the reception on 02/01 was outright impolite. The room super clean but puritanically furnished, the large courtyard well maintained,lunch ok service willing,polite but untrained for a hotel of that caliber.When in Leon this hotel is an unforgettable must.

I've travelled to over 40 countries and stayed in hotels that are deemed the best, but El Convento is my favorite hotel in the world. It's a refuge of calmness. It's authentic Leon, offering some of the best amenities one can expect from a hotel but careful not to fall into the homogeneizing trap of a five star chain hotel.... More

Wow! El Convento is a beautifully landscaped and tastefully designed hotel in the heart of Leon. Within walking distance of everything you need, this place makes you feel special from the minute you walk in. Beautiful furnishings, rich art, and an attentive staff made it hard to leave. If/when we ever get a chance to return to Leon, this is... More

We loved just walking around the hotel looking at the vast collection of antiques and other art work. It was like being in a museum. The gardens were absolutely gorgeous. The room was nice, very quiet, comfortable beds, good air conditioning. The bathrooms were spacious and clean. On the down side there was no pool and the staff was reserved... More

I can say only good things about this beatiful hotel. The position is perfect, close to the centre of the city and to the Ortiz-Gurdian Art Foundation; the garden is wonderful; the religious art collection is very interesting, etc. We had dinner and the food was very good. The rooms are rooms and large (though may be a bit Spartan).... More

Hotel El Convento in Leon is a unique place to stay. Located close to the center of the historic city of Leon, the converted convent has a gorgeous central courtyard surrounded by the rooms of the hotel. The rooms are very spacious and clean and well presented.I would definitely recommend choosing this location when you travel to Leon. More
