Hotel Almudaina

For the best combo of quiet and views, request a high-floor room (around 6th–8th floor) at the back/harbour side overlooking the cathedral and bay; paying a little extra for a superior room with balcony on these floors is widely considered worth it.

If you’re noise-sensitive, avoid rooms facing the main street (Avenida Jaume III) or directly under/near the Sky Bar, and instead request a quiet rear-facing room on a higher floor.

Front/streetside rooms on lower and mid floors (often with small balconies) are great for people-watching and historic avenue views but can have traffic or bus noise that may bother light sleepers.

Specific high-floor rooms repeatedly praised for views include 701, 702, 705, 714, 715, 801, 802 and 803, plus quiet room 610 and quiet triple 302.

If you care about having outdoor space, look specifically for rooms with balconies (e.g., some front rooms and rooms like 514, 515) as not all rooms have them and many rear rooms trade view/balcony for extra quiet.

Standard rear-facing rooms on around the 5th floor offer good value and relative quiet, while superior rooms from about the 6th floor up are larger and positioned for better views.

Rooms on the 2nd floor can be noisy due to the breakfast room and nearby shop music (e.g., rooms 212 and 214 above Mango/Desigual), so avoid this floor if you’re sensitive to daytime noise.

The rooftop Sky Bar offers stunning views and is a memorable experience, but service can be hit-and-miss, so go mainly for the panorama.

The airport is easily reached by public bus in about 15 minutes for around €5 per person, or by taxi in roughly 15–20 minutes for about €20–25; taxis ordered via reception work well.

If natural light matters, avoid rear low-floor rooms with frosted windows facing walls (like 212 and 214) and ask for a room with a ‘real’ window or balcony.

If you don’t specifically want a balcony, a standard room is often sufficient and may be quieter, as balcony rooms and those near the Sky Bar can be noisier.

Reserve a table at the Sky Bar in advance as it can get busy, especially at popular times.

Rooms over the shops on the rear side can have music noise from below between roughly 10:00 and 20:30, but are very quiet at night once shops close.

Avoid specific problem rooms mentioned by guests, such as room 311 and room 13, which have had negative comments.

Single rooms such as 313 and 513 are reported to be very small, so consider upgrading if you want more space.

If you’re used to a larger double bed, consider booking a twin room instead of a double, as the double mattresses can feel small.

Booking lunch around 1:30 p.m. on a weekday can be a good time for a relaxed meal with a view.

The rooftop restaurant is recommended for a special meal with great views and excellent service if you’re looking to splurge one evening.

Quad rooms work fine for families with two kids but are simple and not very large, so manage expectations on space.

AC only runs while you’re in the room, so cool it down before going out so it stays comfortable when you return.
