Hesperia Ciudad de Mallorca

Location is perfect for what we wanted; 20 min bus into the city of Palma, but walking distance to a modern shopping centre, small supermarket and restaurants/fast food chains and not to mention a 20 min walk away from the castle with stunning views. The hotel is on a slight hill so there are a few sets of steps but this didn’t bother us in the slightest. Plus the number 47 bus into Palma is on the doorstep and the buses are frequent so the steps can be avoided if not planning on walking anywhere. The hotel itself was clean with spacious rooms, plenty of plug sockets, a mini fridge, AC, full length mirror, big wardrobes with plenty of hanging space and a safe. The pool area is fairly small but was lovely and gets the sun for the whole day and not busy at all, although this may be because our visit was not in the peak of summer.

The staff is super friendly and always helped us to book taxis into the city (you can ask them to order one in the lobby). They have a pool that you can sit by all day, they give you necessities like toothbrushes/spoons/ forks and towels for the pool, to our surprise an AC was in our room (we didn’t expect it or overread that in the description, so our joy as soon as we saw it was even bigger), our breakfast (a buffet with a lot of variety between ham and eggs, fruits and a lot more! you definitely will find something you like here) and they also have automats with snacks and drinks in the lobby for the little cravings we all get sometimes which you can pay with your card.

Very nice pool area, quiet great for relaxing. The rooms felt spacious. Location is in a quiet area, the walk to town isn't far and there's a bus stop and taxi rank just outside. We got a really good deal on the room (booked 5 months in advance)... I would not want to have paid more than we did, though (~€150 per night in Sept).

- The staff was nice - they lent us kitchen bowls and spoons nicely - The location is not that bad and calm - The swimming pool is cool. We came in March and it was open! (we enjoyed the cold baths) - We felt safe. We asked to go to the pool, they told us we couldn't because no one would be able to help us if there was an accident at this time. - We got two keys, one per person - The bed was nice, and the fridge was a great plus for our drinks/milk, etc.

Very simple and clean hotel. The room was also excellent except we could hear some noises very late because our room was very close to the reception. We loved the bus accessibility right behind the hotel and on time always. It felt good to spend little on transportation 2 € a ride. The city center is not far off and there is a beach 30 min from the hotel, you could literally walk there.
