Bordoy Continental Palma

Street noise can be an issue, so request a quiet room at the back or facing the inner courtyard and, if possible, on a higher floor (1st–4th rather than the 5th) to reduce traffic noise while still having some balcony options.

Rooms at the front have more street outlook and sun, while rooms at the back are quieter but lack views; choose based on whether you prioritize view or silence.

If you want more peace and space, ask specifically for a quiet room and mention you prefer the back or an inside-facing room.

Some rooms have balconies, and a few covered balconies at the front overlook the windmills (for example rooms 303 and 305), so request a balcony room with that view if it’s important to you.

The hotel is in a great, central location just outside the old town, so most sights are walkable though attractions like the cathedral require a longer walk.

Some guests really enjoy rooms overlooking the main street for sun, balconies, and views of the windmills, while others find back rooms better for quiet, so decide which you value more when making a room request.

Once checked in, you can comfortably explore Palma on foot or by using the excellent local bus system instead of relying on a car.

Top/5th‑floor rooms can be quieter but note that many on this floor have no balcony, though room 505 is known to be larger than most on that level.

Overall room standards are reported to be consistently good, so you’re unlikely to get a bad room here.

Parking is available in a nearby garage, but spaces and the entrance are quite narrow and twisting, so take care when driving in and consider whether you really need a car given the central location.

The city is hilly and distances to major sights like the cathedral may be longer than they look on a map, so less-fit guests should be prepared for some walking or use public transport.

Many guests feel confident recommending this hotel and would book it again.

As this is a downtown hotel with traffic, pack earplugs if you’re sensitive to noise.

Corner rooms and those on the first floor tend to have smaller or no real balconies, so ask about balcony size if that matters to you.

If you want one large bed rather than twins, be sure to request a double bed when you book or at check‑in.

The hotel has a gym (and a small wellness area), so pack workout gear if you plan to use it.

Nearby windmills are a good landmark to help you recognize the area and know where to get off buses.

From the airport, take the public bus to the end of the line, cross the road and you’re almost at the hotel, making transfers cheap and easy.

If you prefer not to walk longer distances, taxis are easy to use for getting around the city.

Learn how to operate the air conditioning properly when you arrive so you can keep the room comfortable without needing to open windows onto the street.

Another property has a very similar name, so double‑check the address and follow a map rather than blindly relying on GPS when finding the hotel.

If you prefer more space or comfort, consider booking a Superior Double room.

Just a couple of streets away you’ll find an excellent variety of restaurants if you want to eat out nearby.

Double glazing is very effective, so with windows closed most rooms are acceptable for city noise.

There are many supermarkets close by, so you can easily buy breakfast items instead of eating in the hotel.

Traveling in the low season can offer particularly good room rates and value for money.

You may need to ask reception for a local map, as it’s not always proactively offered.

The hotel has no pool, but there are plenty of beaches within easy reach if you want to swim.

Consider taking the city sightseeing tour bus as it offers excellent value for exploring Palma.

A day trip to Sóller is highly recommended, and it’s best to book your tickets online beforehand.

You must reserve the sauna about two hours in advance, so plan your spa time ahead.
