The three-star hotel at the Balneario de Archena: 117 rooms, buffet dining room, direct access to the thermal gallery and thermal pools included.

The León is the three-star hotel at the Balneario de Archena, the simplest and cheapest of the three in the complex. It was restored in 1991 while keeping its early twentieth-century feel, and shares with the Termas and the Levante what really matters here: direct access to the thermal gallery, where treatments are given, and free entry to the Spa Piscinas Termales throughout your stay.
117 rooms, six ways to sleep
All are non-smoking and have air conditioning, heating and free wifi, with daily cleaning. They break down as follows:

81 classic doubles, the standard room.
6 basic singles, for those travelling alone.
11 classic rooms with an extra bed, for three.
6 classic rooms with two extra beds, for four.
7 superiors and 6 superior double rooms, both with their own terrace.

Some look onto the lemon trees and the path along the river; if the view matters to you, ask when you book.
What it costs to sleep at the León
According to the 2026 price list, a night in a classic double ranges from €50 to €90 per person, room only, depending on date and occupancy; the superior, from €60 to €100, and the single, from €75 to €130. The third and fourth person pay a supplement of €45. The spa warns that the binding price is the one shown in the booking process, and gives a 15% discount to those who book more than 45 days ahead. It also sells packages of one to three nights with meals and a treatment included, from €165 per person for a single night at the León.
The buffet dining room on the first floor
Meals at the León are served in its own dining room, a buffet on the first floor with more than 65 dishes of Mediterranean cooking and room for more than 200 people. It opens for breakfast from 8:00 to 11:00, for lunch from 13:30 to 15:30 and for dinner from 20:00 to 22:30. In 2026 breakfast costs €12, lunch or dinner €25, half board €30 and full board €50 per person. For an à la carte meal without leaving the grounds there is the Restaurante del Agua.
Children and mini club
Babies aged 0 to 2 do not pay for the cot, and meals are paid for according to what they have. Children aged 3 to 11, in a bed and sharing with two adults, do not pay for accommodation and get 50% off meals. A room takes four at most. At weekends, long weekends and school holidays a free mini club runs for guests aged 3 to 11, with bouncy castles, a games room, crafts and water games. The children's thermal pool is in the thermal pools, included.
Arriving, parking and leaving late
Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00; for €15 you can stay until 18:00 if available, which allows one last swim. Parking costs €8 a day per vehicle, or €6 a day for stays of more than four days, and there are electric car chargers on the upper floor. Reception is open 24 hours and stores luggage. At reception they speak Spanish, English, Russian, French and German.
The website says nothing about pets: if you are travelling with a dog, ask before booking.

A tener en cuenta: Indicative price per person per night in a classic double, room only, according to the 2026 price list (€50 to €90). Parking at €8 a day.
