Insight Guides "In a restored 16th-century palace just off Plaça Rei Joan Carles II, this hotel is one of Palma’s best bargains."
Fodor's "Guest rooms are modest, though some have the original coffered and painted ceilings. The rates are more than reasonable, and a buffet breakfast is included." Full review
