We stayed here for 3 nights from Saturday 20/9/25
Positives:
From the outside the Hotel is an interesting almost brutalist concrete building (which I rather liked) its set near the river and on the edge of the old town wall. It’s a short walk into the old town and there are lots of restaurants around, plus Badajoz is a fascinating and beautiful city.
The reception staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay (as were all the staff we dealt with). All the rooms we had were a good size with comfortable beds and effective air conditioning, plus where we had a problem with our first room the staff were very helpful in resolving the issue: Our initial room had a drip into the toilet which we only noticed as we tried to sleep, it was annoying enough to stop us sleeping so at 00:30 we asked reception to change our room. The only room they had on offer was an accessible room, which provided us with a comfortable bed for the night, though due to the set up for disabilities the room felt soulless due to the amount of empty floorspace (though it would be great if you needed to maneuver someone in a wheelchair) The reception changed us to another room for the next two nights which had a small balcony and was larger still, though much nicer.
Negatives:
All three of the rooms we had were tired and showed their age, with things like enamel missing from the bath and damage to the room wall.
The level of cleanliness in the rooms was poor.
The bar had restricted opening hours during the day (it’s a hotel, I get it being closed late at night, but not in the afternoon)
The breakfast was generally poor. It was OK on the first day where we arrived early in the sitting, but on the other two days we were later and all the hot food was stone cold, plus items like the fresh fruit appears to have been out for a long time. On the third day the staff just didn’t appear able to keep up with demand and lots of things were only replaced a long time after they ran out.
Overall, it a shame, al the customer facing staff are trying hard and give good service and it should be a really good hotel, but its just let down in too many places to be anything other than a disappointment.
