Hotel Patricia Menorca

Nice location in the town of ciutadella. We had a suite as you get the extra outside space, large terrace with two sunbeds and a table & chairs. Nice big room. Digging up a road outside most of our stay so a little annoying when on the terrace. My worst part was on two consecutive mornings, I had ants drop into my cereal bowl along with my cereals, they obviously lived in the cereal dispenser. I left them both mornings and didn't try again after that. Good selection of other breakfast foods though.

This was a really lovely small hotel. It is very close to the centre of Cuitadella old town, which meant that it was close to some excellent restuarants, including our favourite Moriarty. The staff at the hotel were exceptional - every member of staff was efficient, helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them, from the waitress at breakfast, the reception staff and the cleaners. Our room, I have to say was basic but it had a very comfortable bed and a great shower. Plenty of coat hangers, a safe and a fridge and although there was no kettle there was one for general use in the lounge area by reception. Complimentary water by the glass was also available from a dispenser by reception. The swimming pool as gorgeous. Very clean and a good size for swimming lengths and towels can be obtained from reception. Lovely seating area around the pool as well with sun beds and also relaxing sofas and chairs. Breakfast was good with a selection of cereals, fruit, breads and pastries, smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and bacon. Coffee from the machine was excellent. Wifi was also excellent and for those who want it there were English TV channels available. A/C also worked well.

Pros Nice welcome upon arrival. Good location for walk to the port/restaurants and the old town Steps or slopes down to the port - not a good location for people in wheelchairs though ( unless somebody really fit and strong is pushing the chair) or for people with mobility issues, but ok for pushchairs. Suites are enormous and spotless TV offers BBC - if that matters to you Loads of natural light and windows in our suite The Mallorca Lift right opposite us. Very fast and efficient. Our suite had a nice roof top terrace with sun beds and washing line Suntrap. Families welcome if you have young children Cleaning top notch in hotel itself (but pool needed more attention) Light airy breakfast room even though it was in the basement. Comfy seating with plenty of space. Good variety of milk options at breakfast. Cons Not good value for money, but guess you are paying for the convenience of the location. No ramp to access hotel - only steps. Swimming pool in very shady residential setting enclosed by high walls Reception Staff - some were super helpful & others disinterested in guests. Worse breakfast we had in Menorca (stayed in 5 different hotels on our recent holiday) Nothing cooked to order. Dry pastries. Even small doughnuts. were cut in half! That said staff were pleasant and regularly replenished food. Flies around the buffet, which is my pet hate. Food needs transparent covers. But orange juice was excellent. Not adult only - which is our preference. Noisy toddlers/crying and having tantrums in pool area.

We had a really relaxing time here. Staff are warm and friendly, breakfast is excellent with lots of choice, constantly replenished. The pool area is a nice chill-out zone. Rooms are a good size with super en-suite shower room. Location is peaceful while being just a few minutes walk from the harbour and the magnificent old town of Ciutadella. Would return in a heartbeat. Totally recommend.
