Great location and chill atmosphere. For a big and busy place it felt open and not crowded. Big airy dorms are available, the pool is great, and there are plenty of places to sit and relax. A kitchen would be nice to have, but the location is convenient. There is a pool table which is a fabulous addition to any... More

Stayed in Leon for 1 night - we thought Leon was rather ugly so no need to stay longer. But the setup of the hostal is very nice. We had a private room, which was spacious. The staff is a bit snoozy (got mixed up with the reservation, odnt fill up the hot water offered for all day tea) but... More

The location is good, nice patio and pool area. The $5 dorm is a good value, with comfortable beds and lockers. Every employee was very nice. However it doesnt have a kitchen nor fridge and it was too quiet and boring for me as a solo traveller.

The pool was the draw at this place...along with the other reviews on TripAdvisor. In reality there are much more comfortable places to stay in Leon. The pool is nice, but the lounging areas just aren't that comfortable. The courtyard gets so much sun, and there are no shade trees, that the place turns into a sauna by early afternoon.... More

Great location in Leon. Quiet and cozy. Thankfully, this isn't the party hostel but is still cool. Tons of people reading and napping on hammocks. We spent a lot of time chilling out in the (actually clean) pool sipping beers. Rooms were sparse but clean and service was really great. Would definitely stay there again.

This place was nice and clean. i stayed in the dorm with a fan room and was quite comfortable. I especially liked the big lockers which can accomodate most backpacks. This hostel is in an old colonial house and has a great courtyard and pool area. I spent quite some time on their hammocs by the pool. It´s in a... More

Lazy Bones is almost always our go-to when we're traveling in Leon. We also love to stay at Sonati (because of their social programs) and in Las Peñitas, but this trip down, we decided to go with our tried and true. Here are the highlights: clean pool; free, pretty decent coffee; hammocks everywhere; pool table; REAL mattresses in the dorms;... More

The staff were very helpful and welcoming from the front desk staff to the kitchen staff. The hostel has a lot of enormous spaces with lots of room to chill...very quiet - definitely not a party hostel. The downside is you probably won't meet too many people. My $20 room 9H upstairs was twice as big as the other upstairs... More

If you have been to Oasis Hostel in Granada, then this hostel is almost exactly like it. Surrounding a nice hammock lined courtyard, it has nice, clean dorms with firm beds. It has great secure lockers. Free tea and coffee. Free internet and wi-fi. It has a nice, clean pool. A TV as well. It also has a breakfast cafe... More
