Breakfast
However, some guests expressed dissatisfaction pointing out that the breakfast could lack variety and quality at times. Complaints mention that it was sometimes “modest,” with limited choices especially in terms of gluten-free options, different types of milks, fruits and yogurts. The coffee received notably negative feedback, described as terrible from the electric coffeemakers. Price was another point of contention with several guests feeling that the 10€ per person charge was overpriced relative to the value provided.
Despite these critiques, the overall sentiment leans towards a positive view of the breakfast, especially appreciating its completeness and diversity. Guests looking to enjoy a hearty start to their day might find the breakfast satisfactory, though those with specific dietary preferences or higher expectations for a gourmet experience could be less impressed.
Dinner
Rooms
On a positive note, some guests appreciated the spaciousness of the rooms and the comfortable beds, praising the cleanliness and quiet of the spaces. Views from the rooms, particularly those overlooking gardens or mountains, were highlighted as pleasant aspects. Despite the numerous criticisms, some guests found the rooms to be quite acceptable and clean, enjoying the tranquility and privacy offered by the terraces.
However, what's clear is that the rooms' overall condition and lack of updates seem to mar the overall guest experience at this hotel.
Beds
Additionally, pillows also receive negative feedback, being characterized as thin, uncomfortable and often contributing to the overall discomfort. Despite the abundance of negative remarks, a few guests found their beds to be comfortable, mentioning the spaciousness of the rooms and occasionally appreciating the softer options available.
Overall, while some guests did rest well, the hotel might benefit from updating and improving their bedding to meet guest expectations better.
Cleanliness
However, not all reviews are entirely positive. Some guests have pointed out issues such as dust under the bed, poor hygiene in the spa area and dated furniture that could use a renovation. There have been mentions of stained sheets, leftover food in spa water and occasional dust mites in the rooms. Despite these critical observations, the majority of feedback highlights excellent cleanliness and comfortable, well-maintained facilities.
The friendliness of the staff also adds to the positive experience, making the hotel a suitable choice for relaxation and comfort. While there are some areas for improvement, particularly concerning the spa's hygiene and certain room features, the prevailing perception of Balneario de Archena - Hotel León is that of a clean and serene retreat ideal for unwinding.
Staff
However, there are a few areas where improvement could be made. Some guests mention that the reception can be slow and that service can vary with occasional reports of less friendly interactions.

There are additional highlights, including massages, which are noted for their quality and effectiveness and a variety of therapeutic treatments such as mud baths. The spa also offers convenient access from the hotel with some rooms directly connected to the spa facilities.
However, the spa does face some criticisms. It can be very crowded, especially with children, which detracts from the relaxing atmosphere. Some guests also mention issues with leftover food in the pools and a lack of hygiene in certain areas. Additionally, navigating through the garden and outdoor areas to access the spa can be uncomfortable, particularly in colder weather.

The noise level also tends to rise with the crowds, occasionally making it difficult to enjoy a peaceful swim. Additionally, there have been comments about the swimming pools being located 200 meters outside the hotel, which might be inconvenient for some guests.
The pool area itself is appreciated for being spacious, though improvements could be made in areas such as the pool cafeteria and surveillance. Overall, while the pools at Balneario de Archena - Hotel León receive high marks for their cleanliness, variety and thermal features, visitors should be prepared for potential crowding and noise during busy periods.
