Sercotel Gran Hotel Zurbarán

The hotel took a bit of finding but that could be because our satnav is about 4 years out of date! There is, however, plenty of free parking all around the hotel and there's a lift from the pavement to reception for taking luggage in as there are steps to the front door. The reception staff were reasonably friendly and the room was a decent size with a balcony and a view of the river. The room was typically Sercotel (a bit like a higher standard Premier Inn) with standard lay-outs and furnishings. The bed and pillows were good and the aircon was also good, which was definitely a bonus during the heatwave.

I noticed two great points during my stay: 1. The floor of the room was extremely clean. I stayed with my baby, so I wiped the floor just to be sure, but there was no dust at all. I was very satisfied. 2. The hotel has a private parking space that costs €15 per night, which is quite affordable. Plus, there’s free parking available in front of the hotel. This hotel is very car-friendly.

Hotel staff were lovely and the room was a good size. The balcony was nice and there was a good view of the park opposite and the river. It was close to several bars and restaurants. It was a comfortable place to stay.

Very good room: good size, comfortable beds and an excellent shower. Our continental breakfast was fairly standard for a 4* hotel. Staff were really helpful - we wanted to charge our EV at one of the Tesla chargers in the secure underground garage but someone had parked their diesel car in one of the spaces. The receptionist worked out who it was and asked him to move it for us (which he did). €15 to park and charge was exceptional value. We were also able to leave the car in the garage the following morning while we walked round Badajoz.
