Akla Hotel Badajoz
Hot tub wellness near the Alcazaba, on a budget
About this hotel
Akla Hotel Badajoz pairs a genuinely low price point with amenities that punch above it, family rooms with air conditioning, balconies and private bathrooms, plus a hot tub, wellness packages and a garden terrace rarely found at this budget level. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout, and a coffee shop, express check-in and check-out, room service and a tour desk round out the practical side. Breakfast comes continental or à la carte, built around local specialities including warm dishes, cheese and fruit. The hotel sits less than a kilometre from El Corte Inglés and close to Badajoz Fortress and Plaza Alta, with the airport fourteen kilometres away and a golf course within three kilometres, making it a well-placed budget base for both old-town walking and a round nearby.

Our take
Akla Hotel Badajoz stands out for offering wellness amenities, the hot tub and packages, at a budget price point rarely seen alongside them, and its walking distance to the Alcazaba and Plaza Alta makes it a practical old-town base. Travellers wanting a higher design standard or five-star finishes should look toward the riverside or casino hotels instead.
- ✓Book the hot tub or a wellness package in advance if that's the main draw of your stay.
- ✓Walk to Badajoz Fortress and Plaza Alta rather than driving, since both sit close by.
- ✓Try the à la carte breakfast for local Extremaduran specialities over the standard continental option.
Why we love it

Why guests love itThe hot tub was the last thing we expected at this price, and it made for a genuinely relaxing end to a day spent walking between Plaza Alta and the Alcazaba, both close enough to reach on foot. Breakfast leaned into local Extremaduran specialities rather than a generic buffet, and being under a kilometre from El Corte Inglés meant last-minute shopping was never a hassle. It felt like more hotel than the price suggested.
