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.

Lovely hotel and very central.

The location was perfect. We loved the character of the building the room was comfortable. We ate at Viu one evening and the food and the service were excellent. Terrible music! How about something more ethnic?

we quite like reading our books in bed, but there were two very thin pillows and a hard bed head. This could’ve been sorted out with some cushions or more pillows. The chairs were uncomfortable to sit in so this was not an option. The music in the courtyard was a little bit too loud (you could cut this out if you closed your windows, but it was nice to have the fresh air) and also I would strongly suggest that you change the type of music as it is really dreadful lift music. We were in Mallorca How about something more ethnic? Breakfast was okay but despite having mentioned the toaster a couple of times it still made no difference. It is not toast. It is warm bread that comes out regardless of what you do.

A perfect stay, relaxing and just what we needed. Thank you so much.

What a fabulous hotel, the location was just perfect. So central to everything, all in walking distance of the restaurant's, shops, cathedral and palaces. Love the style of the hotel, it had a very regal feel to it. Staff excellent, informative and helpful. Breakfast was delicious also.

Fabulous

Perfect quiet location, very helpful and efficient staff, very clean throghout, comfortable beds, air conditioning, very good breakfast.

The room was on the 4th floor without the lift. Whilst we had our lagguage delivered to the room on arrival and back downstairs on departure, it was not very easy to get back to the room after a day of sightseeing. A lift would be beneficial. It was also not very easy to find a parking space for the hired car.

Location/ decor and reception great. Some improvements would help.

Great location/ decor/ reception staff/ cleaning. Bar facility not good as no atmosphere and cold outside. Heaters/ burners would have helped and encouraged customers. Breakfast was sub contracted and we didn’t feel the hot food offering was good at all. Raw bacon/ powdered eggs ( cold) and beans/ tortilla. Boiled eggs would be better. Toaster poor. Let the hotel down. Our room was on the front so very noisy late at night and early morning. Would request back room next time.

Lovely friendly hotel in great city location

Lovely hotel. Really beautiful building, as soon as you step into the entrance hall, with its beautiful marble floor and stone arches with high ceilings. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. We slept very well. The bathroom is well equipped with a walk in shower, lots of water flow, and really nice and hot. There is also a toilet and bidet. The staff were so friendly. They always recognised us, greeted us with a smile as they handed us the room key. Reception staff were happy to help with advice regarding buses and times to help us explore the island. Breakfast was included and a wide variety was provided. Again the staff in the restaurant could not be more helpful and friendly. The breakfast included juices, coffee, Cava (bit early for me) various breads croissants and pastries etc, cold meats, cheeses, fruits, and cooked breakfast. The cooked breakfast consisted of slices of tortilla (Spanish omelet) scrambled eggs, baked beans and jamon style bacon. This is the only area I thought could be a little better. Some fried or poached eggs, some sausages and some normal bacon would have suited my English taste better. The hotel is ideally situated just a minutes walk from the city centre, yet nice and quiet at night. Overall lovely hotel and I would happily stay again.

The cooked breakfast options were limited

A treat.

The hotel is stylish, clean, comfortable and in an excellent location. The breakfast was great and staff were also very helpful.

A little dark in the rooms and if you opened the curtains in our room we were overlooked by other rooms in the courtyard.

We would stay here again. It was a perfect central location. The staff were very nice.

The hotel was very accommodating as I had a mobility problem and hadn't thought to check if there was a lift, which there wasn't. They very helpfully changed our room to one with less steps. It was much appreciated.

The food was very disappointing. The buffet style cold food was good but the eggs and bacon and anything warm was cold or luke warm. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food again was luke warm, and did not reflect the expectation or cost.

Great property with kind competent staff in a superb location.

I have stayed before. The staff is wonderful kind and helpful. They gave me a breakfast bag as I left for the airport too early for their lovely breakfast buffet. The location is superb in a wonderful palatial courtyard building. The rooms are small but very comfortable.

There is no elevator so elderly guests would need help w their luggage. The courtyard restaurant looked great but on both nights there were wedding receptions so we couldn’t even have a cocktail there.

Great on the whole just a bit disappointed about the bar - it was one of the reasons we booked

Lovely building in a great location

The courtyard bar and restaurant are not owned by the hotel so we were turned away twice despite there being tables as they were “too busy “- so despite you having to listen to their music all night you cannot be guaranteed to be served so we went to the bar in the hotel next door. The second time we were turned away they were quite rude to be honest.

Fabulous, would definitely stay again.

Excellent location, beautiful building, amazing breakfast, lovely bathrooms and bedding, great staff and service. A gem in the city centre with a gorgeous courtyard. Will stay again.

I wasn’t aware that the restaurant closed one night and also the bar is unavailable during a private event (pre-wedding) but this did not detract from our stay.
