Basic but comfortable enough

Greeted by Manageress, granted requested balcony room. English a bit lacking but certainly better than my Spanish. Room a tad basic but comfortable beds, good size balcony with table and chairs. Plentiful hot water for bathing or shower, decor somewhat dated as was furnishings, a fresh lick of paint wouldn't go amiss. Mask's to be worn in hotel common area's * a good thing! Staff pleasant enough, maid, Mirta, very helpful for train and bus travel advice. Regular fresh towels. At the price certainly wouldn't complain, was good enough for the 6 day break.

Cheap and Cheerful

The hotel is very basic and in urgent need of redecoration. That said, the owners were lovely, it was cleaned every day and is in a good location for the nightlife. Ideal for those wanting a cheap bed to sleep in but not for those who expect a little luxury when going away.

Faulty Towers!!

Rooms very basic. No where to hang shoer head. No plugs on basin or bidet. Beds hard and cold. Tv minute. Rooms run down and dirty. Very old place with a lot of work to be done. Owners elderly and tired. Lots of clutter and very smelly cats. Noisy area. Lots traffic. Doors locked at all times awkward when you go out, have to ring bell to get in at all times.fire hazard. No tea making facilities. Only good thing was near to centre of town.

A strange hostel but a good stay

The hostel has a selection of decent sized rooms which are large and clean but furniture is dated-having said that there were loads of hanging space and draws for storage, the bathroom was clean and huge with a piping hot shower over a bath. There was a large balcony which was sunny all day but looked out onto quite a busy road junction, although you can see the sea in the distance! The locking the customers in and out in the evening was a bit weird but kind of worked and even though I came in very late at night the hostess was always there to let me in with a ring of the doorbell, and her cats are adorable! The public areas are clean and functional but a bit haphazard! A glimpse into private quarters and these are untidy and appear chaotic but there was a certain charm to this little hostel - yes I could hear the noise of the road outside and more so the noisey Brits staying in the next door room but I did sleep reasonably well on a comfortable bed and would stay again.

Nice but noisy

The room was spotless and maintained daily. Unfortunately, because the hotel is on a main road, there was a great deal of traffic noise.

Small friendly hostal and very central

The hostal was just what we wanted for a 3 night weekend break. We arrived very late (gone midnight) but had phoned ahead and informed the owner, Pepita that we would be late and she answered the door as soon as we rang. She showed us to our room and pointed out how clean it was! However, it was clean so no problem. We had Room 7 which had a balcony overlooking a small garden and the main road Avenida Palma de Mallorca. We enjoyed a beer we had bought at a supermarket across the road and inhaled the scent of a beautiful jasmine bush which floated up from the garden. We did not find the place too noisy considering it's proximity to a main road.

M.G.

ok for the price

I picked it after having read all of the other reviews on here, thinking that considering the price and how short my stay was going to be, I wouldn't mind any of the downsides during my one night stay. The location is quite close to the beach and not far from the city centre. The particular smell mentioned by others was only noticeable by the entrance, definitely not in the room, which was quite nice and had a small balcony with a view of the garden. One thing I'm not too sure about are the locks on the doors - even when I had locked the door from the inside and didn't remove the key from the lock, the cleaning lady still managed to open the door (with a key of course) from the outside! Made for a rather awkward situation.
