Hostal Pinar

Getting around was easy from here: there's a bus stop right by the entrance, the beach is 15 minutes away, and the city centre is a 10-minute walk. There are lots of good dinner spots nearby, plus a supermarket with everything you need at a good price. The rooms are clean and good, with AC in each one, which helps a lot in hot weather. A very good place with friendly staff.

We were in Palma for a short visit with family and chose this hostal because it was affordable and the rooms had their own bathrooms. It isn't fancy, but it's clean and comfortable, and the small bathroom was perfectly usable. The lounge is attractive and Wi-Fi is free. There is a small outdoor pool too, which wasn't much use to us in December but would be nice when it's warm. Reception is open 24 hours and speaks English. A few doors up, there's a nice little cafe for breakfast. It's about a 20-minute walk to town, and there's a taxi rank at the end of the street. We'd recommend it for a short break.

For what it costs, I really couldn't fault the place. The staff were excellent, and while the room was basic, it was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I'd definitely come back. There's a taxi at the end of the street, Polka bar is a two-minute walk away, Porto Pi centre is 15 minutes on foot, and Auditorium de Palma is 10 minutes away.

What stood out most was the service. The staff at the counter always greeted us warmly. The rooms were nice and spacious. The pool is a little small, but there's a clean outdoor shower and toilet alongside it.
