Hotel San Lorenzo Adults Only

Stay here - full stop. Old converted mansion. So much charm. Lovely staff. Amazing rooms and linens and pillows. Beautiful breakfast. The rooftop swimming pool is award winning. You can work in the shade until around noon. The space is cool and the cushions etc. are comfy. It's all just right. Book a reservation at C'an Toni down the block. Top 3 restaurants in the city. Important on your time of stay is on the AC. Some rooms DO NOT have AC. The walls are also a meter thick so it barely matters... but if you are a delicate flower... ask about the situation. Enjoy-

We stayed here one night in June before catching our flight home to the UK. I'd already booked a hotel near the Intermodal Station when I saw this boutique hotel, which was £50 cheaper than the modern, corporate hotel, and looked much nicer. It's in an old mansion in the narrow streets of Palma's old town, with quirky rooms, a lovely (small) rooftop pool surrounded by bougainvillea and a pleasant breakfast. Freshly cooked eggs are available on request. We had a large room on the first floor with our own shady terrace with sun loungers. There was a sitting room with doors out to the terrace, and a large bedroom, plus bathroom with bath and shower. It felt like staying in a hidden oasis, very quiet even though there are bars and restaurants just a few steps away. The bus to the airport stops nearby (about a 7 minute walk) and there are plenty of attractions close by too. I would definitely book to stay here again.

I'm surprise by other reviews or maybe we were just unlucky. To start on a positive note the breakfast is very good and the lady cooking and serving it could not have been more helpful. The hotel is well located in the old district of the city. We stayed in a junior suite which was spacious but dark and hot with an inefficient air conditioning, even though the outside temperature was less than 20c. There was no toiletries except for hand wash. It was equipped with a coffee pod machine with just 2 pods provided , no milk, no sugar. No facility to make tea, had to ask for a kettle. TV absolutely useless, only a couple of channels in Spanish. The hotel is old with no lift, the stairs are tricky if you are old or not too mobile. The reception is only manned at random times and not very often. It is advertised as a 4 star hotel I think this is generous and 3 would be more appropriate
