"Just home from staying at this hotel. We stayed our first night in a standard outside room with breakfast. Check-in was fast and efficient from the helpful Anastasia.
It was so easy to get the airport bus to the stop outside El Corte del Ingles and then walk back for about 7 minutes to the Nou Baleares. The hotel is located in a more residential area. We had arrived in the evening so decided to eat in the hotel restaurant. Lovely atmospheric restaurant, nice decor, lovely staff. We had the fixed meal menu of €18.90 for 3 courses plus drink. It was lovely and tasty.
There was no air conditioning in our room as it was still on winter time. However Anastasia sorted that out quickly and switched our room from winter to summer mode and we had lovely air con for the evening. The Standard rooms are a tad on the small size, but adequate. Two different pillows on the comfortable bed, even if the pillows were a bit too soft. Great non slip shower. No tea or coffee facilities in our room. Breakfast the next morning was great with a good choice served to your table by pleasant staff. Free refills of drinking water in the restaurant for guests. Flat and sparkling.
We returned to the hotel after a short stay in Porto Cristo for two nights. This time staying in a superior room. It was worth the extra cost. A huge room and huge bathroom with a Nespresso machine. The only negative was that the large bathroom had no form of heating in it and it was quite cold on one of the days.
The extra walk back to the hotel after been out and about added to our tiredness. You cannot just drop back to the hotel as this requires a bit of planning to your day. The same food menu for both evening meal and breakfast could be expanded a bit with some more offerings.
We got a taxi back to the airport rather than the airport bus as it was raining....this cost €21.75 on a Sunday.
We would definitely stay in this hotel again when passing through Palma as we really enjoyed it's quirkiness and stay in a superior room again."
