On my first trip to Majorca I booked this hotel which belongs to the German tour Operator Alltours (Allsun Hotels) because it offers very good value for money being situated directly at the beach promenade Playa de Palma yet only 10 minutes by public bus from the international airport PMI. As almost all guests were German also the staff knows at least some words and are all very friendly, efficient and welcoming. Even thought the hotel had been fully booked due to ist small size there had been never the feeling of it being crowded, not even at breakfast or dinner in the restaurant. Half board had been very good and varied each day. The whole hotel has a Fresh design and all looked new and clean - in short a place to feel well. As it was winter the pool had been not used but was still filled with water and had deck chairs around it. On one side of the property are busses taking you to Palma City, the airport and other places on the Island, while many super markets add to the comfortable yet cost efficient way to enjoy your vacation. In front of the hotel lies the almost car free promenade and the beach and Mediterranean sea - one can walk or cycle - as I did all the way to Palma, as there are many car rental places nearby. Surely there is one hotel next to the other which I knew and did not disturb me at all.

Wonderful days on Majorca

Booked here for 1 night,so didn't have far to go for the early morning flight,this is in the German area of Palma,so 95% of guests are German. 
The aquarium is only about 8 min walk away,so great for a day out with family before you fly home.
The rooms are clean,but the bathroom really could do with a new one putting in(reminded me of a bathroom from the 1980's!).The staff were polite and helpful,and the pool is nice with a walk way straight on to the beach.
Cheap places to eat nearby,bars cafes etc..but in the evening,quite a few loud drunk Germans stagging around the area,so ok for a night or two as a pitstop for a early morning flght.

good for 1 or 2 night stay..

I don't even know where to start; 
The first night I had no electricity in the room, the card slot did not work. The man on night duty came to have a look, but in the end couldn't do anything. He gave me the option of staying in the room, or packing up at 1am and moving to another room.  ( this was not an option for me as I couldn't see anything in the room, let alone gather all my things in the dark) 
I had no light, no fan, couldn't charge my phone, couldn't do anything) 
Already totally frustrated I went to bed, only to find there was a pesky mosquito in the room which ruined the rest of my night. 

The next morning i went to reception to get it looked at again, there was no apology, in fact they didn't even seem to care. They sent up the technician who eventually fixed it.  

The reception looks like forgotten place. So cold and uncomfortable looking. On picture on the wall. 

You have to pay for wifi. 5€ for one day or 10€ for 3 days. This is ridiculous. 

You have to pay a 10€ deposit for the remote for the TV. 

Breakfast was very average, most mornings the eggs were inedible. 

I Found the staff quite rude and uninterested. 

The location is great. The hotel is in a relatively quiet area, away from the party areas. 

The only good thing about my room was that it had a balcony and was sea facing. The level of cleanliness was average, but also the room had no character, no pictures on the wall, absolutely nothing to make it feel comfortable. 

I personally didn't choose this hotel, the group I was with organised the booking. I wish I had read the reviews before showing up there so I knew what I Was letting myself in for. 



Disappointing 

Upon arrival I waited for 5 minutes while the receptionist was on the phone. That was fine, but then check in took a further 10 minutes (even after booking through booking.com with all details pre filled-in)

You are then made to sign 2 documents which are in Spanish (obviously) and German only. I enquired what they were for but the receptionist couldn't speak enough English to tell me. Her lack of English didn't bother me (I'm in Spain, after all) but I would've thought an English translation would be appropriate. From the night I spent there, Can Pastilla is frequented by mainly German holidaymakers, and so this made more sense retrospectively.

Breakfast is included, but you must pay for WiFi 5€ for the day and 15€ for the week, I think. If you would like the remote for the TV, you'll need to pay a 10€ deposit too. 

The room was basic. Nice balcony with ocean views, clean, 2 single beds that were a little soft.

Check out is til 11 which is nice. 

Breakfast wasn't very nice, but there's plenty of options around. The location is great if you want to party, but loud and busy if you don't.

Cheap room, fine for a night

We stayed here four nights, from the 27th of April until the 1st of May 2012. The hotel is not too bad, the staff is very nice and helpful, the buffet for breakfasts and dinners are quite good (...but you must try typical restaurants around there!)  These are the problems in my opinion: there's not remote control for tv (if you really need it, you'd better bring your own universal one, if you have!). No air-conditioning: it was not a real problem during springtime, but it may be during summertime. If it's too windy there's an excessive draught under the balcony's door. We had to put our luggages to reduce it. The real problem is the presence of rude and bad-mannered german guys. They used to stay under our room shouting, laughing and drinking beer, and whenever they went back to their own rooms they always shouted too much.
