Hotel Born Palma

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in August. We both thought the hotel was great. Firstly the location was great for everything. Right in the centre of Palma. The staff were friendly and efficient. The room we had was spacious and kept very clean. We found the breakfasts to be of a good quality and choice. The only slight downside is noise from the courtyard. However this would not stop us from coming back.

I must admit before arriving and after reading some of the reviews my wife and I were a little hesitant. However we found the hotel delightful. Firstly the location could not have been better. The staff were warm and friendly. Our room was spacious and clean. It was on the second floor and yes there is not a lift but it wasn't a problem to us. The breakfasts were of a good quality and there was in our opinion. good choice. The only down side was noise from the courtyard. we didn't find it as bad as other mentioned so that didn't deter us.

My wife and I spent 3 nights( 5-8 May) in this lovely 300-year old palace. The room was beautifully renovated, the twin beds were definitely NOT 300 years old and very comfortable. All the staff whom we had contact to were charming and extremely friendly and the breakfast ( included in the price) was more than sufficient. The location was perfect to get into the centre of the old city and I, as a frequent reviewer, can thoroughly recommend this hotel. This was our third time in Palma and we love it!

Hotel Born’s location is fantastic, and the old building has a lot of charm. The staff was welcoming and very helpful, which we appreciated. However, the room was a letdown for the price—nice enough but with only a tiny window near the ceiling facing a yard and another just 0.5 meters facing a wall. We expected a better room for the money, but the location and service still made it a decent stay.

If you are sensitive to constant noise, this is not the place for you. From noisey appliances, to overheard conversations in the room next door, there is always something. But the absolute worst was one night when we needed an early night after a long journey, and they had hired the courtyard out to a wedding party. The noise was so loud we had to shout to talk in our own room. We had paid extra for a upgraded room next to the courtyard (do not do this!). The noise calmed down by 11, but if I was travelling with my child there is absolutely no way they could have slept. The hotel did not inform us about this party, as we could have stayed out or planned our holiday day differently. On the other nights the courtyard is a bar with people talking loudly and music well past 11. This is no place for bringing kids and I am not sure the owners understand that hotels should be a quiet refuge, a place to recharge after a busy day. Perhaps that is not the way in Spain, but I did not feel comfortable or safe in this hotel. Positives include the usually friendly (and apologetic!) staff, sitting in the courtyard for breakfast, the old palace type atmosphere, and the very good location the centre of Palma. The breakfast was almost OK but if you go down when it starts at 8, the 'hot' breakfast has not warmed up (cold beans anyone?). I really wanted to like this hotel but I am really not sure that you can classify it a hotel given the lack of attention to ensuring that the comfort of the guests comes before quick money in the form of a very disruptive wedding party and a loud bar operating until late at night in the echoing courtyard.

This hotel has got to be one of the most beautiful hotels I've stayed in. The staff on reception are fantastic there is nothing they will try and do to help you, the rooms are very good ,lots of room and very very clean, and for location you are center stop for everything you need to see and do.... the only downside to this hotel that some might find a little off putting is that there is no life so for anyone that finds it hard to walk or disabled will have trouble and there is definitely no wheelchair access, but that to me didn't bother me and as none of you know I've travelled alot and this hotel is probably in my top 5 I've stayed in. They have a restaurant on site that is delicious and beautiful, definitely worth a visit.

The location is ideal for exploring the beautiful city of Palma. The building is 600 years old but has been beautifully restored to this elegant hotel with many of the old features retained. The lobby & courtyard are particularly impressive.

Where do you start! Stayed in premium room on 1st floor - no lift. Door so ill fitting you hear every foot step and noise in corridor. Ceiling has plumbing waste runs from rooms above so every time someone flushes you hear a mini flood. The room faced to central square where Viu restaurant located. Windows cut out ZERO sound. Lay in bed at 23:45 and people on tables below may well have been in room. This hotel is simply shocking - stay and be disappointed!
