BO Hotel Palma

Ask for a quiet room on the side of the hotel or over a side street if you're a light sleeper, as these rooms tend to be much quieter despite the central location.

The hotel sits in a very old part of Palma with tight streets, limited access for rental cars and residents-only areas, so it’s best to take a cab from the airport or park in a nearby underground/garage and walk or taxi the short distance, calling the hotel for clear directions.

Corner rooms and corner suites are more spacious and highly rated, and the Sky Suite offers stunning space with what many consider one of the best private terraces in town—book it well in advance and consider ‘spoiling yourself’ if your budget allows.

Specific rooms like the ‘grey room’ and upper-floor rooms (e.g., on the 3rd or 4th floor) are noted for being particularly attractive and offering lovely views.

The hotel is a small 19-room boutique property, so don’t expect a large rooftop pool, but do enjoy the intimate rooftop terrace with its jacuzzi for cooling off.

If your budget stretches, consider upgrading to a premium king room, as guests report all rooms are excellent but the upgraded category adds extra comfort.

Many rooms have street frontage or balconies, so you can choose the outlook onto the part of town you’d most like to wake up to.

Check that shared areas like the rooftop terrace are being cleared regularly if you plan to use them, as some guests have found trays and glasses left out for long periods.

During high season, consider requesting an inward-facing room if you’re sensitive to street noise, as all rooms are otherwise well regarded.

Room 2 is specifically praised as a lovely option.

For nearby food and drinks, head to Abaco just across the road and Cafe La Lonja about 30 seconds’ walk away for an afternoon drink and snack.

Room 602 on the top corner floor is spacious, has great light, and is equipped with accessibility rails in the bathroom, making it suitable for guests with mobility needs.
