Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“Romanesque arches and a giant palm tree spectacularly cover the central courtyard and reception area of this shabby-chic hotel, which occupies the former mansion of a noble Mallorcan family. Guest rooms are modest, though some have the original coffered and painted ceilings and traditional Mallorcan furnishings.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Located in the famous Old Town, the Born Hotel is an ideal property to stay in the capital with proximity to many landmarks. This is not another ordinary hotel in Mallorca. The property was once a palace dating back to the 16th century. Today, it holds great historical and cultural significance that is evident from its architecture. The hotel is only 8 minutes of walk away from the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, a few minutes away from Font del Sepulcre and the Centre of Palma de Mallorca is only 1 km away. The rooms at Hotel Born are decorated with beautiful Mallorcan furniture. Some offer stunning views of courtyards.

Along with free Wi-Fi, the hotel offers many other facilities such as breakfast in bed, laundry services, relaxing massages, 24-hour reception, and a bar terrace. They also offer airport transfers on request. There is a typical Mallorcan restaurant on the hotel’s ground floor offering delicious Mediterranean cuisine on a patio full of palm trees. The staff of the hotel is always happy to help you with anything such as renting a car. You can also book a guided tour through them to the major attraction in the city. If you are up for a ferry ride to the Balearic Islands, the port is only a 10-minute drive away. The hotel offers discounts on longer stays. Reserve now and enjoy your trip to Mallorca.

Beautiful place in the heart of Palma

Stunning hotel in a historic building in the centre of Palma. You feel very regal walking up and down the main steps! Despite being there around Carnival with a large stage playing live music right across the street from the hotel, it was very quiet and peaceful, and we even slept with the window open without any disturbances. Perfect location too, with about a 5-10 minute walk to all of central Palma's main attraction. Bed was very comfortable and the mini fridge in the room was an unexpected bonus as I needed to store medication.

The staff aren't very friendly and kind of made you feel like a burden when checking in (at least the older man with the glasses did), and if you can't do many stairs the lack of a lift won't work well for you. This wasn't an issue for us personally, but if you need an accessible place you may want to look elsewhere.

Elegant hotel in great location

Beautiful hotel, really elegant and stunning. Fantastic location and excellent breakfast. The room was big and comfortable. Overall a great choice for Palma.

Apart from the clearners the staff were all pretty misreable and unwelcoming. I think they've forgotten how to smile and be friendly. Sad, as otherwise the hotel was a fantastic experience.

The perfect hotel if you want a traditional, authentic stay in Palma 400 years old perfect renovatio

The building and the decor. The staff were so friendly, helpful and spoke very good English. The breakfast was exceptional and the bed was super comfortable. All of the room facilities were very good. Can't wait to visit Palma again and stay here.

There are no complaints at all, that said the shower pulsed from perfect to a little hot. More consistency in temperature would be a huge improvement but this is only being super fussy and constructive moving forward.

Great hotel. Fabulous location. Tasty great breakfast selection. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Fabulous hotel with Spanish style. Staff were very helpful advised where to catch bus etc and gave us a useful map. Rooms nicely laid out. Fabulous selection for breakfast.

Would have been nice to have some hand/body lotion. We had a superior twin the area with table and chairs was quite dim. Need a corner lamp to make reading or card playing easier.

It is a nice cozy hotel with an classical design in line with the city centre, and a great location.

The lobby is amazing, the hotel is well decorated. I especially liked the location, it is close to everything. I also liked the central atrium where you can eat breakfast or get some drinks trough the day.

Not much, the room I was in (309) was a labyrinth to get to - take stairs, then hallway to another set of stairs up, then hallway, than another small steps down. Luckily we didn't have any luggage. Also breakfast was okay, but didn't have too many options.

Well located beautiful tranquil hotel, housed in a stunning building, formerly a palace I believe.

Amazing building, immaculate, the grandeur of the architecture makes it beat most of the other hotels in this price category.

Not much.. the only thing is 2 single beds pushed together is never as good as a decent kingside double.. although find this issue in many of the 4* and 5* properties in Palma!

Fabulous

The room was big and beautifully decorated, well equipped with a good sofa and decent air con. The bathroom was particularly good. The breakfast was decent and the eating areas very nice. The common areas of the hotel were really lovely and very quirt - when I was bored of working on my sofa I moved around the hotel, good wifi reception everywhere too.

My room was not cheap, but it had windows onto a narrow alley and if I had my curtains open, I was very visible to occupants of the rooms across the alley (about a meter away from the windows). There were obviously bins outside because it was loud at night with glass being thrown into them, even with the windows closed.

The great location and friendly staff made it a lovely experience.

Location, history of the building were great. The staff were excellent and friendly.

No elevator. I understand it's an historic building and maybe it cannot be installed. The shower in the room kept overflowing. The breakfast was just ok, the bread in particular being very poor.
