Hotel Austria

León


Tucked away on a side street just south of the cathedral, this well-run hotel has somewhat dark rooms set around a leafy central courtyard with a stone fountain. Several good breakfast options are included in the room rate and the restaurant caters to those hankering for wienerschnitzel and apfelstrudel.
