    The only complaint is the bed, it was very uncomfortable and gave us backpain.

    The staff was very friendly and tried to communicatie with us despite a language barrier.

    Doors and walls are very thin. Woken up by chatting staff at 5.30am in the kitchen. Bathroom doors in private and shower doors in communal are cute reused wood but clumsy and unsafe to open. Showers were dark and difficult to enter and exit. Pool looked like a laundry area with no appeal. Not sure the pet parrot in a cage is cool. Breakfast system was backwards IMO - make it a buffet! Locked jail gate on front entrance is annoying for people coming and going but probably necessary

    Very modern brightly painted and modern kitchen area the private room was also done to a high decor standard with wall fan and AC. Helpful staff.

    Only issue was with the shared bathroom which is connected to the private room and the dorm room, whilst in the bathroom you are not able to actually lock it meaning someone from the dorm can walk in as they have a key to the shared bathroom and vice versa. When asking the staff about this we were told to just listen if someone is using the bathroom before entering and they did not understand how this was an issue, 0 privacy. Proper sliding locks need adding on the inside of both doors which are connected to the shared bathroom in-between the rooms. We spent quite some time explaining this issue to staff however they did not get it somehow and communication was difficult.

    Great location, comfortable and clean room, breakfast was good.

    Too much detail with room 3 lighting. So bright and directly overhead-----it could be better used for stage lighting. Shines directly into your face when on bed.

    .no breakfast but attention to detail everywhere.kitchen facilities open to public. Well-thought out planl All facilities should have chair.

    Our room was off the kitchen/common area so would recommend earplugs unless you wake up early.

    We loved our stay at Wabi Sabi. The staff were all super friendly and we felt at home right away - they also have a cat and a kitten who were adorable (we miss them already). We found it to be more like a guest house than a hostel, it’s nice and quiet and a good breakfast is provided each morning - prepared whenever you want. The common areas are comfortable and there’s a pool which was great for afternoon dips in the León heat. The kitchen is really well equipped, it felt like cooking at home and there’s water provided for free. The hostel is located in a quieter part of town but still less than 10 minutes to walk to the centre - we liked this as it meant it wasn’t too noisy at night. We would really recommend staying here.

    Only complaint would be the slightly outdated pool, demanding many hours of maintenance from the staff.

    We did a five night stay, lovely place just a few streets from the city centre. Polite and easy going staff who made sure the place always looked it’s’ best throughout the entire day. The highlight of the stay must’ve been the kitchen, super well equipped, sturdy pans and pots and free access to drinking water and ice. We would definitely return to The Wabi Sabi in the future.

    The pictures don’t do it justice - this was the perfect place to stay in Leon. The rooms and all communal areas were kept super clean at all times, and the staff took great care of everything in the property. We even got breakfast the next morning. We stayed in two of the rooms for 3 nights, and would highly recommend Wabi Sabi for your next stay in Leon

    On Friday and Saturday there was a music going on from the bar behind the hotel until late in the night. We stayed in the room number 5 and had to use earplugs to be able to fell asleep.

    It had family feeling, everyone was super nice.

    The hotel is very close to the city center. Wifi is good. The area is very safe. The host is exceptional. My girlfriend was sick and the owner even heard her being sick and in the midde of the night made her a drink to calm her stomach and gave her fresh water and some pills to stop the major pains.
