Hotel Almudaina

The hotel is ideally situated for exploring the city, on bus routes, lots of shops nearby but the price you pay for a central Palma hotel are the sleepless nights! A room on the main street side has relentless noise of bin wagons, bottle collections, street cleaners, roaring motorcycles and that is just during the night hours. The rooms are stylishly designed - however, style may be one thing - practicalities are another. The concept of a drawer in furniture seems to be elusive! Nowhere in this lovely wood finished and grey room is there a drawer. Everything has to be piled on the bedside shelf or floor, or stored on shelves. The shower room, while clinically clean, frequently exuded the smell of drains which wafted into the bedroom if the door was not closed (difficult to do since it did not shut properly anyway). The loud noise of scraping furniture above on the marble floors is truly intrusive at times. There is no lounge area, just a very uncomfortable bench seat in reception, while the touted rooftop Skybar does not open until 12 noon, so a morning coffee is not an option. The view is spectacular however. On our departing day we went up dead on noon for a last look and possibly get a coffee, but were told that the tables were all booked for lunch - at 1pm! We did persuade the waiter to serve us a coffee, by promising to be out within 20 minutes. We felt that we had caused a bit of inconvenience to him by messing up his lunch plans. Breakfast is pretty good, plenty of choice with three sittings up to 10.30, but the annoying drinks dispenser takes forever to fill two cups. The beds are comfortable, with three pillows and linen is changed daily. But we would not go back.

Fantastic location. Very central. 5 minutes walk away from the cathedral and the Old Town. 15 minutes walk from the train station to Soller. Road is very well lit up in the evenings so we felt safe returning late at night. The rooms were lovely and clean and the view we had was of rooftop buildings, the sea and part of the cathedral.it really was beautiful. The rooftop restaurant and terrace was great to sit in and to relax in. Staff at reception and in the rooftop restaurant could not have been more polite and helpful. We would always return to this hotel when in Palma.

Ideally situated, clean and functional. Staff friendly. The hotel lacked a homely feeling and was a bit impersonal. Also very noisy all through the night. There are nicer hotels in Palma.

We have been coming for ages. We love the hotel, the staff, the area, the rooms, the friendliness. The breakfast is super. The last 3 times we have been travelling with a baby and the staff does everything to make our stay as perfect as possible. We feel like coming home.

I booked this hotel for three reasons- the location, the breakfast, and the price. All three did not disappoint. The staff were wonderful and in this day of no room cleaning they were in there every day. Location was wonderful for all my sightseeing and the neighborhood was really clean and nice. Lots to do in the immediate area. I’ll be back

The room and facilities are incredible
