Expert reviews
“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.”

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.

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.

Hote Born was the perfect hotel for our weekend break.

5 October 2025
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!

Nice stay .. nice room
Great location Stairs are a lot wee we’re on the 4th floor
29 September 2025
Brilliant- wish we could have stayed longer
Location was perfect
The fact that it had no lift so we had to climb 65 steps from reception to our room.
28 September 2025
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.
22 September 2025
Very good
Breakfast was great, lots of choice. There was a self-service coffee machine, which I'm not a big fan of and there were lots of wasps when sitting outside, hopefully they'll get that under control... The position was good, easy walking distance of the main castle and centre. The structure was really spectacular, perfect for a romantic holiday, you have the sensation of being in an ancient castle, we loved it. The shower was broken when we arrived but they fixed it immediately.

We want to come back soon !!!
Staff, food, ambience. Thank you everyone.
No lift was a tad hard but the staff were very eager to help so it wasn’t a problem at all.

Comfortable and beautiful building
Location was great. We arrived very late as our flight was delayed but we were still able to get in. Room was very comfortable and clean and the hotel was quiet. Great breakfast.
Would have been good if the air conditioning had been on when we arrived but the room cooled down after about 30 minutes.

Ok
Very central. Good location. Beautiful garden and rooms .
It’s just doors to rooms are vintage, I can understand the point because of the building is old but you don’t have privacy. There are gaps in the doors that all noise comes in and goes out. Ps: it wa dust on the walls . Top of our bed 🛌 some part was dusty. You could see .

The location, the staff, the building itself is beautiful, the bar is a great spot
It can be a little loud facing on to the courtyard if you are heading to bed before midnight

Beautiful hotel and location, but beware no lift and lots of steps.
Property was beautiful the lobby and terrace especially. Bed very comfortable. Great location in the heart of everything!
No lift and quite a few steps to navigate. The shower although lovely would flood everytime it was used. Not huge amount of choice for breakfast.

The hotel was beautiful, featuring vintage architecture and a charming restaurant at its heart. The room was spacious and comfortable.

Great location and good room and breakfast. Would be improved by a lift.
Lovely old building. Good breakfast and now has a bar which it didn’t when we stayed before. Air conditioning in bedroom and good sized room with clean bathroom.
No lift! We were on the 3rd floor and I am awaiting a hip replacement! However a young man did carry our cases up for us which was great. Daytime receptionist not overly helpful and reception lounge very hot.
