Hoteles Center - accommodation in Campo Maior

The hotel claimed that the room has air conditioning. However, during our whole stay the temperature of the room was at 27C. If we would have known this in advance, we would not have booked this hotel. This hotel simply doesn't have functioning AC. Furthermore, it was very load in the morning due to some construction/maintenance.

This is a very well run hotel with excellent staff. Location is not ideal as there are no bars or restaurants within walking distance which is why my partner and I went half-board ( we were there for 3 nights ) - that was a bit of a mistake as the food was not inspiring, there was a distinct lack of choice, no labelling on the serving dishes ( so we couldn't really tell whether something was chicken or pork ), and the restaurant didn't open until 20:30 ( bit late for a Brit ). Would we stay again? Probably not, at least not for 3 nights but the hotel itself represents incredible value for money.

Knowing only a few words of Spanish was of no hindrance to our stay at this perfectly located hotel in Badajoz. For instance, the reception staff helped us order taxis and transitioned seamlessly between Spanish and fluent English, for which we were most grateful. Having said that, all the staff were friendly, courteous and helpful, initiating polite salutations in both languages as they recognised our Spanish language limitations. The restaurant staff quickly learned our choices of drinks, both hot and cold. Often they would offer us our coffee just as we liked it. A very nice touch, thank you! As mentioned by previous reviewers, the hotel location is perfect for arrival and departure by bus through the convenient proximity of the bus station 2 minutes walk away. We had many day trips to neighbouring towns, even one to Seville, by clean, efficient and inexpensive buses. The historical walled city is a leisurely 10 minute stroll away from the hotel, with many cafes en route. On days when we got weary after a long walk, a short, inexpensive taxi ride returned as efficiently to our comfortable hotel and room for relaxation. I would recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a base in the city/region for exploring the history and culture in this beautiful part of Spain. We stayed for 8 nights in May before moving onto Portugal.
