Hotels in Badajoz

Badajoz is not a city you can explore in a day, but it doesn't need much more either to get a feel for it. The first thing you should know is that the accommodation offer is divided into two clearly distinct areas: the historic centre and the modern area around avenida de Elvas and the university zone. If you're coming to see the cathedral, the alcazaba or the Plaza Alta, you're better off staying in the old town. There you'll find charming hotels and guesthouses, but also narrow streets and tricky parking. If your thing is getting around by car or you prefer going out for dinner without stress, the new area will be more practical: there are more roundabouts, more parking and hotel chains like the Ilunion Golf Badajoz, which is also close to the river and the fairground.

The difference between them isn't just price, which in the centre tends to be somewhat higher due to the location, but atmosphere. In the morning, the old town is quiet and pleasant for strolling; at night, on the other hand, there are few entertainment options beyond the occasional bar with a terrace. The modern area concentrates commercial and university life, with more activity until late. If you come in low season, from November to February, prices drop considerably: the cheapest accommodation you'll find right now is 57 euros per night, and the average is around 87. In spring and during the San Juan festivities, in June, prices rise and it's best to book early.

Getting there is easy: Badajoz has a train and bus station, and the nearest airport is in Talavera la Real, about fifteen minutes away. If you come by car, the A-5 takes you directly into the city. To get around, the centre is easy to walk, and for the new area you can use the city bus or a taxi, which isn't expensive. Before booking, check carefully whether the accommodation has a lift, because there are many old buildings without one, and whether it includes breakfast, because in Badajoz it's common to pay for it separately. It's also worth checking whether the price includes taxes or if they charge you for using the kitchen in apartments. On HotelsCasa you currently have 84 accommodations available: 38 apartments, 24 hotels, 12 holiday homes, 4 guesthouses, 3 villas and one private holiday home. Among the hotels, the Hotel Condedu or the Hotel Cervantes are classic, well-located options; if you prefer an apartment, the APARTAMENTOS MAPAMUNDI are good for stays of several days.
