Hotel Plaza Grande

Top choice in Extremadura


Right on the Plaza Grande, this friendly, sparkling gem of a hotel is an excellent deal. Modern-rustic decor accentuates terracotta with cream paintwork, exposed brick, floral prints and soft pastels. Go for room 108, with its corner balconies overlooking the plaza; room 208 is the same but with windows instead of balconies. The lively downstairs cafe-restaurant is reliably good.
