Specific criticisms include limited variety on certain days, high costs relative to quality and breakfast service starting too late for early risers. Additionally, some guests felt the breakfast organization could be better with occasional comments about the buffet area being cramped and the coffee quality lacking.
Overall, the friendly and helpful breakfast staff receive high marks, contributing to a well-organized and satisfying breakfast experience that justifies the added cost for most guests.
Dinner
However, many guests felt that the absence of dining options within the hotel itself was a significant drawback. The hotel does not provide lunch or dinner services and there is no bar or cafeteria available for guests outside of breakfast hours. This lack of in-house dining facilities was a common point of disappointment with several reviews mentioning the inconvenience of having to dine out every evening and the missed potential of having an in-hotel restaurant or bar.
Despite these limitations, the hotel's favorable location near various dining options somewhat mitigated the inconvenience, offering guests ample external choices for their dining needs. But for those seeking comprehensive in-house dining experiences, the hotel's current facilities may fall short. Additionally, a few guests reported issues with bathroom cleanliness and the absence of parking as minor setbacks.
Rooms
Certain rooms feature attractive amenities such as terraces with great views of the city center and the cathedral, adding to the appeal. The soundproofing of rooms is another noted advantage, ensuring a peaceful stay despite the central location. Some rooms are equipped with modern conveniences such as air conditioning and minibars.
However, there are areas needing improvement. The layout of bathrooms is frequently mentioned as awkward or in need of renovation with some guests indicating issues like mold and poor functionality. A few reviews point to inconsistencies in room sizes and facilities, which vary across different units. Additionally, ventilation issues and outdated furnishings in some rooms have been noted.
Despite minor drawbacks, the overall feedback leans toward a pleasant and comfortable stay with the hotel's location and spacious rooms offering a strong foundation for enjoyable accommodations in León.

Reports of very clean bathrooms and well-cared-for facilities affirm the hotel’s high standards. Visitors also appreciate its clean, safe environment and the efforts made in maintaining COVID-19 hygiene protocols.
While a few guests noted lapses in specific areas, such as bathroom floors and ventilation, these concerns appear to be exceptions rather than the rule.

Wi-Fi
Parking
For those who don’t secure a spot in the hotel’s garage, nearby public parking options are available. These are often conveniently located just across the street or nearby, though they also come at a cost. While public parking can be very close and somewhat better in terms of space, it is not always ideal for larger vehicles either.
Many guests indicate that the parking facilities involve a lot of tight turns and narrow ramps, which can make the process of parking and retrieving a vehicle cumbersome. Despite the convenience of having public parking options close by, the overall experience with hotel-provided parking is often viewed as stressful and inconvenient.
However, there is a silver lining for motorcyclists, as the secure off-street parking across from the hotel is generally well-received. For those arriving in smaller vehicles and able to navigate the tight conditions, the central location of the parking facilities provides easy access to the hotel and its surroundings, albeit with some maneuvering challenges. Overall, while Occidental León Alfonso V offers several parking solutions, they come with notable limitations that future guests might want to consider, especially if traveling with larger vehicles.
Nightlife
4 Star
Breakfast also garnered mixed reviews with some describing it as limited and average for a four-star establishment. The minibars in the rooms were considered to be very small, adding to the sense that the amenities could do with an upgrade. In terms of value, many guests were underwhelmed, feeling that the hotel did not justify the cost associated with its four-star branding. It was noted that several essential details, such as a more comprehensive utensils pack and in-room essentials like toothbrushes and toothpaste, were missing.
There are still positive aspects with some guests affirming that the hotel deserves its four-star rating and praising its general facilities. The service received favorable comments, though it was mentioned in a basic and non-exceptional light. Overall, while Occidental León Alfonso V offers some four-star qualities, many reviewers feel it has room for improvement to fully meet the four-star standard they expected.
