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 pleased to have stayed at the Born Hotel. Quality shops and restaurants all within short walking distance. I would
Reception staff absolutely marvellous. Helpful, courteous and went out of their way to make our stay trouble-free. Breakfast was well up to expectation and, again, staff helpful and diligent. Location was perfect for our needs. The property is clean and in good repair.
Stairs! Ask to have a room on the first or second floor if possible.

Very relaxing & slept really well!
Location is fantastic, so convenient for shopping, old town walks, the port & cathedral. The hotel smells amazing & the beds were so comfy. The courtyard is so charming & the food delicious.
Room could have been a bit larger. A nice touch would have been some biscuits supplied with coffee/tea or some milk sachets or fresh milk in the mini fridge.

Clean stylish room Beautiful decor throughout the hotel Fantastic staff, couldn't help us enough Excellent location, walking distance from everything we wanted, but tucked away

Beautiful peaceful hotel in a fabulous location, couldn’t ask for more.
Beautiful historic building with a beautiful courtyard and lovely helpful staff. It’s a fabulous location right in the centre of Palma but very quiet and peaceful at night.
Nothing, this is my second time staying and can’t wait to go back again.

Staff, lobby area is exceptional but not sure if it's worth 250euros for a standard room.
Beautiful lobby, grand architecture and location. Reception staff exceptionally helpful.
No advance warning that cars are prohibited on that that road, so contact the hotel and they will register your car. Walls are very thin between rooms. Try and avoid 4th floor, there are no elevators but staff kindly take bags up/down. While breakfast was OK, I wanted option to skip paying for breakfast and go out for breakfast instead. The kitchen staff were ill prepared for guests, eggs/fruit salad ran out and we had to wait quite bit. The layout is not ideal, small space and lots of crowding near tea/coffee stations. Staff seemed very stressed. We appreciated the offer of breakfast 'to go' as we needed to leave the hotel by 6am, but bread/sandwich was old and stale and there was no fruit. Given the selection of breakfast, we were were a little disappointed with the quality. The old town located hotels are expensive so I suppose paying 250 euros a night was OK, but well beyond what we wanted to pay for a hotel.

Beautiful, quiet and welcoming hotel in a great location.
Beautiful, quiet hotel in a great location - ideal base to explore historic Palma. Hotel staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming. Lovely outdoor courtyard ideal to enjoy breakfast outside, or a relaxed evening drink at the hotel bar.
All good, nothing needed to improve our stay.

Lovely citybreak hotel with great breakfast
Very well-located hotel in the heart of Palma. Staff was friendly and the room was lovely. We really enjoyed the short stay and would come back any time.
The hotel is really Great, we wanted to take a rental car but there is no parking in the area and the garage is very expensive (25€ per 24/h) so we did not rent a car.

Excellent location next to the old town, restaurants and the sea front. Very nice historical luxurious building and pleasant open air inner courtyard bar/restaurant.
Not a major issue for short stay, the furniture/doors in in my room were outdated.

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely like to stay at the Hotel Born again.
The hotel is beautiful - the foyer, courtyard bar and restaurant, breakfast room, lounges and bedrooms. The breakfasts were lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was ideal, in the old town and all the sights in east walking distance - the bus and train stations too. We absolutely loved the courtyard bar and restaurant, where we had nice conversations with the friendly staff. Great to see Estrella Galicia on draught and the food was very nice - it was fun to have some of it prepared at our table. The food was rather pricey for us but there were some light dishes on the menu that we could afford. We were lucky that the courtyard opened whilst we were there, since it was early in the season and still a little cool in an open air setting. The reception staff were very good to us, looking after our luggage on the last day and calling a taxi to the airport for us in the evening.
It’s a shame that the courtyard bar isn’t useable when the weather is cold. I love that it is open air and I worry about the carbon emissions from patio heaters but it might be worth co sideri g how to make the courtyard more useable all year round.

Lovely period building in a central location
Character, central location, attention to detail and relaxed atmosphere
Room was dark with limited options to brighten it up. Staff didn't communicate much
