Hotel Cafe Azul

10/10 Excellent

"My husband, my mother and I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. It is close to the Cathedral and Central Market, but far enough away not to be too noisy. The breakfast was good if limited in choices. The staff, especially Eddie, were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the pool area is small, but inviting. We would definitely stay here again."

Hostal Clary

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay. Mom and 4 kids. Beautiful space. Fantastic staff. Very helpful with local recommendations, food delivery afterhours and services in the hotel. Very comfy rooms. The included breakfast options were very diverse and delicious - lots to choose from (they offer complete menu included for breaky!). We felt the value was wonderful. Very happy there and will 100% book again if in Leon! Highly recommended. Only downside was sno hot water showers but it did not affect our stay overall. We really loved it"
