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.”

Very good
Great location and a beautiful hotel and really good staff.
Breakfast could have been better considering the overall cost per night.

Very nice, clean, great beds, perfect location in the Old Town, wonderful staff
Beautiful old building, breakfast in the courtyard, comfortable beds, good shower, wonderful and helpful staff
Our bedroom was fairly small for 2 friends traveling together. We had twin beds but they were literally side by side. Nowhere to put 2 suitcases

I recommend this hotel if you want to stay in the „center of everything” in Palma and enjoy cosy atmosphere.
Nice, design hotel in the old building, in the very center of Palma. Good, intim atmosphere. The guy in duty during breakfast (Carlos) was amazing - top professional but very relaxed in the same time. The whole staff was very attentive and nice.
A bit of noise coming from neighbouring rooms (it is wooden construction of the ceiling, I guess).

Excellent city centre location with a delicious breakfast included in price

Amazing place, incredibly helpful and friendly staff! We enjoyed every moment at this place. Breakfast was excellent, and view also wonderful. We had early check out and staff offered us take away breakfast, even we didn’t take it, it was very sweet)) Location just in the heart of Palma, highly recommended, will return with great pleasure!
Nothing, just keep it this way.

Wonderful.
Staff were fantastic, very welcoming and friendly. Small hiccup with our room but sorted quickly and professionally. Rooms were lovely, we stayed in a superior suite which I would choose again. Very clean. Hotel was full, however we were not disturbed once. Great bar and amazing food at restaurant. Location was brilliant, quiet location but within a 1 minute walk of the main areas.
A small welcome pack including more coffee pods and water put in the fridge so it's cool would have made our stay even better.

A great experience
Fantastic location The building itself is stunning Staff v helpful
Bar in beautiful courtyard (where you ate breakfast) didn’t open until 7pm. Might have been nice to get an afternoon drink there and sit and read a book!

Fabulous
Our room was gorgeous, breakfast in the morning was really nice as well. The staff were very easy to deal with. It's so close to the centre of town and very close to a good bus route.
I can't think of anything!

Fabulous
From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm and welcoming and keen to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The hotel is located in the heart of the main attractions of Palma and extremely convenient for all we wanted to do and see.
It was slightly noisy at night from some guests who were using the bar . (Our room was situated on top of the bar), but this did not entirely ruin our stay. During the day, the lovely facilities were not open for residents to use to relax in although coffee and drinks were available in the room.

A perfect location, comfortable and spotless rooms. We can highly recommend it
Historic building beautifully renovated and well furnished. Spotless rooms with supremely comfortable bed. Efficient Air Con. The hotel is tucked away just off the Passeig del Born, an ideal central location yet a quiet and calm oasis away from the noise and bustle of central Palma. Easy check-in and check-out. Helpful staff at Reception. Charming courtyard restaurant for al fresco drinking and dining.
Breakfast Buffet was adequate but laid out in a dark, gloomy room just off the courtyard. Air Con was not working during our visit and it was uncomfortably hot which was not the most appealing place to serve cold meats and cheeses, fruits and yoghurts. Fortunately, we were able to eat outside in the courtyard when it stopped raining.
