Visited this 2* Hotel
with husband & daughter aged 7 - we had a fantastic time, we were very
very impressed with what we got - hotel was excellent & room was very
spacious looking onto courtyard. Staff very very helpful and friendly.
Breakfast was excellent with plenty to choose from - will definitely
stay there again - location way ideal, central for Cathedral etc. We
loved it.

Ten out of ten! Great
location, friendly staff, traditional Mallorcan style. Amazing
breakfast - even Bucks Fizz, if you feel like it! Very good value at
€108 for a "junior suite" with view of the cool, tranquil courtyard
and its 2 majestic palm trees.

Would definitely
recommend. Stayed for 4 nights in twin bedded room with courtyard
view. (Tip: Courtyard rooms much quieter at night...worth paying more
for one). Breakfast excellent. Good selection of food which did change
slightly each day. Even able to have bucks fizz for breakfast!!! Hotel
in superb location for everything. No lift in hotel so be prepared to
carry luggage up lots of stairs. Used dining room for breakfast as too
cool to eat outside in courtyard in February. Staff very friendly and
helpful and spoke English. Our room was a good size with plenty of
storage space. Really enjoyed our stay. Easy to find...just look for C
& A and hotel situated on the left in narrow street next to the store.

For a 2* hotel we were
very impressed. Hotel beautiful. Both rooms we stayed in were
attractive, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Again, for a 2* the
breakfasts were better than expected and being able to eat outside in
the lovely courtyard was an added bonus. Staff always helpful and
courteous. Location excellent - in a quite side street, but very close
to cathedral, shops and restaurants. Only thing that may be a problem
to some people is not having a lift. We were on 1st floor so not a
problem for us. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to
friends. 8/10

We are very pleased with
our stay at this hotel. Good location, friendly staff and our room was
nice and clean. If we go back to Palma we would stay there again. Our
reservation through the Other Mallorca functioned very well.

The staff was great.
Very helpful all of them. Location was perfect in the heart of it all.
The buses we feet away from the hotel. Hotel was really interesting
and old. Breakfast was generous and delicious. Courtyard was
beautiful. It has stairs only, so I would not suggest it for elderly
people.

A real jewel! Great
location, good service and a step back in time. The hotel is
beautifully done and provides the ambience of a 17th century
Nobleman's house. The location for the exploration of Palma is superb!
The Mallorcans, known for their hospitality really make this hotel a
great find! Book early for the best rooms overlooking the courtyard!
The Hotel Born is definitely *four star plus* when it comes to
service, atmosphere and courtesy. We loved it!

We have stayed at the
Hotel Born twice. It is excellently placed in the centre of the old
Palma. The rooms are basic but clean. The staff are helpful. Would
definitely recommend it for those wishing to explore the city on a
short break.

Hotel Born is in an
excellent central position, but still manages to be
quiet. (We did have a courtyard room, but we thought it would have
been
quiet anyway.) Staff were helpful, the breakfast was good, the
ambience was
Spanish. Very good value for money. Only problem was a hard mattress.

The Hotel Born was
centrally located in Palma to all the sights/restaurants/ shops. The
building itself was full of character and you could tell the building
when it was a 16th century palace was once very grand. The breakfast
was plentiful and tasty and set you up for the day. The staff were all
very helpful and welcoming. The only drawback was the
situation of the room. If My Husband and I stayed again (and we
probably
would) we would pay the extra for a courtyard room as the room we were
in
was on a side street and we heard some noise at night. All in all a
very good hotel at an excellent budget price.

An excellent city centre
hotel close to the bay and nightlife. Great rooms
arranged around a courtyard where you can enjoy a good continental
breakfast
before exploring the city. An all round very good value, great

This hotel has a
fantastic location, making it a great base from which to
explore the city of Palma. Our bedroom with two (small) double
four-poster
beds was spacious. The bathroom was a bit cramped. Breakfast in the
courtyard was a great way to start the day. We enjoyed our time there
and would recommend this hotel as good value for money.

Lovely stay. Hotel very
well situated in the centre of Palma. Reception staff very helpful.
Lovely eating breakfast in the courtyard. The only small complaint was
that the cutlery and crockery could have been a little cleaner at
breakfast. Overall very good value for money, location and lovely
bedroom. Would stay here again.

7/10. Lovely Spanish
atmosphere and really good breakfast taken in the beautiful courtyard.
Could do with more tables outside though as limited seats available at
busy times. Very quiet and peaceful despite being right in the heart
of Palma. The rooms are spacious and lovely facing onto the courtyard.
Could easily be improved with some simple changes such as modern deep
beds. Very clean and would definitely stay again.

Superb location, within
City centre, full of atmosphere and character. We had a good room on

Pleasant and helpful staff, but the receptionist had to double as bar

We were a group of 4
women on a short break - we loved this hotel. The staff were pleasant,
the breakfast was adequate but the star was the building itself -
gorgeous staircase and patio and large bedrooms and bathrooms. The
location was superb - right in the centre, 100 metres from a popular
pleasant bar and the same distance from the tourist bus. All in all
wonderful value for money. The only negative comment would be about
the noise in the top floor single bedrooms - much better to share and
look over the patio.

Traditional, grand, town
house, very conveniently situated just off Ave. Jaime III. Lovely
entrance and inner courtyard. Helpful staff. We had a room overlooking
the courtyard which was lovely and quiet; you wouldn't have guessed we
were right in the centre of Palma. Beds - comfy. Decor of rooms -
clean, tidy, well kept, but basic. En suite - clean and a good, hot
shower after all the walking we did was most welcome. The central
heating (needed at this time of year) was rather stifling, but
thermostats sorted that out! Breakfasts were the usual serve yourself
assortment, although some Brits might be disappointed there were no
options for a 'fry-up'! the biggest drawback? No lifts - and the hotel
extends over four floors. We were on the 3rd floor, so after walking
round seeing the sights all day, the hike up to our room was a bit of
a trial. Certainly not for the infirm or disabled. All in all - 8/10
for authenticity, atmosphere and general standard and convenience of
location. Would we go back? Definitely!

Prime location, clean,
comfortable, excellent value. Continental breakfast average but good
coffee and a lovely patio with palm trees to sit in. No elevator
evident so lots of stair-climbing. Friendly day staff. No fridge but
rooms have air-conditioning and are spacious. Definitely 8 out of 10
and we'd stay there again anytime.

My friend and I stayed
at the Hotel Born in Palma for 4 nights. We had reserved a Junior
Suite at 114 Euros plus tax but were bitterly disappointed with the
room as it was very dark and overlooked the little side street which
was very noisy and we were disturbed for much of the night. Also, the
shower did not work. We asked to be moved and on the second night we
were given a standard room on the 4th floor. What a difference ! For
85 Euros we got a nice airy, light room overlooking the courtyard.
Everything worked and it was very quiet. In our experience, it is not
worth paying extra for a Junior Suite, particularly if it is
overlooking the street. In general, we were very impressed with this
beautiful authentically Mallorcan hotel and the staff were very
helpful. Very good breakfast and the location is superb. Would
definitely recommend it - but not the Junior Suites !

A little concerned that
it was only a 2 star rated hotel but absolutely exceeded our

the building was just incredible. Would recommend this for a no fuss
base in a beautiful building providing superb shopping/eating/drinking
location at a very, very reasonable price.

Hotel was excellent,
very clean, lots of character, lovely courtyard, staff very helpful,
ideally located if you want to explore the centre of the city and the
sea front. Considering it is a budget hotel 10 out of 10. Our first
visit to Majorca and will definitely come again. Stayed in Palma for 7
nights, but next time we will do a two centre holiday. Plenty to do in
Palma for 3 or 4 days. Went to Soller by train and then to Port De
Soller by tram, found it very busy. Booked a coach trip to Formentor
and Port De Pollensa through the hotel, fantastic views near Formentor,
returned to the coach at Port De Pollensa by boat across the bay,
beautiful part of the island. Can thoroughly recommend the Born Hotel,
Palma and the North coast of the island.

We enjoyed our stay at
the Hotel Born very much. The Hotel reception and courtyard were
beautiful and the location of the hotel was excellent. Both of the
rooms were clean and comfortable, and although the shower in my room
didn't work, this did not detract from my enjoyment. Thanks.

Beautiful hotel,
situated inconspicuously in a side alley slap bang in the centre of
the old town. Rooms were a little basic, but for the price with a
buffet breakfast that was more than adequate, and friendly, helpful
staff it is well recommended for anyone who likes a little old
fashioned chic, doesn't mind a bit of 'character' and is expecting
bell boys tripping over themselves to help, ie perfect for the
traveller. 9/10 - 1 off as the plumbing had Spanish presence.

We were very impressed
with the Hotel Born, it was full of character, very clean & staff
very friendly as well as helpful. The rooms were spacious with a
view of the courtyard below and the location couldn't have been
better -
very near to the
shops, cafes and bars - there's even one next door to hotel
entrance! We all agreed we would love to go back there & would
recommend it to anyone (as long as they don't mind climbing stairs).

I stayed at Hotel Born
with my mother for four days. It was a lovely hotel, spotlessly clean
and very comfortable. My only gripe would be the absence of a lift,
and three flights of stairs was rather a lot for my mum to do
everyday, however it was a beautiful building and centrally located
for all our trips around and out of town.

We
really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Born in Palma. The hotel is central
for the major sights and shopping. The appearance of the outside of
the hotel (on a narrow side street) is deceiving, as the door opens
onto an impressive palatial lobby area (which passers by stop to
marvel at!). The rooms have lovely dark wood furniture, fairly simply
furnished, but really nice and also clean. We looked forward each
morning to our breakfasts in the relaxing, cool courtyard. Our only
gripe was that we had a room without the views of the courtyard, which
was cheaper, but actually quite noisy in terms of people coming back
to the hotel late at night or just generally because of the hotel's
central position. But, we would definitely recommend the hotel and we
hope to return ourselves sometime. 9/10

and only that due too the fact the bar was never open with people

problem. The hotel was excellant, location right in the heart yet
quiet and the breakfast in the courtyard was a great way to start the
day
