I need a recommendation for a nice hotel in the Cathedral area in Leon.
My son & I will be starting there & will walk the rest of the Camino to
Santiago.

I always stay at the Hotel Paris, Calle Ancha 18, Leon 24003 Tel: Leon (0034) 987238600 hotel@hotelparisleon.com . The hotel is in the main street about 75m from the Cathedral and the main street is the Camino route!! A single room cost me €40 a night last year. There are many alternative small hotels to stay in within 10 minutes walk of the Cathedral.
If you call at the Tourist Information Office, they will give you a list of alternative hotels and a very useful map of Leon. There are very good concerts ranging from pop to cathedral organ music in the peak summer months and Festivals and the Tourist office will tell you what is on.
My personal choice is La Posada Regia Hotel La Posada Regia en el centro de Le which I like because it's also close to the cathedral and has a lot of local color and charm. It's just 1/2 block off Calle Ancha and also about 75 meters from the cathedral. Covey's right -- there are lots of nice little hotels in Leon's old city. It's a super town and a night or two in one of these hotels is worth the expense.

looks like I am the poor one of the crowd - I have always stayed in the Youth Hostel in Leon. This choice has been down to price and they do not lock you out after 10 or 11.
The Nun's Albergue locks you up at 9.30 which is a little hard for the older generation!!
I stayed at the Hotel de Paris about 4 blocks from the Cathedral. Nice, quiet, clean, pleasant.

Hi DrS~
Looks like you're planning a walk on the Camino Frances, so on the Camino Forum main page go to the Camino Frances category. Click on "Post New Thread." Once you title the thread and write your questions and press "post" you'll see your own thread appear.
Buen camino ~
