Hotels near Santa Catalina, Palma de Mallorca

We had already paid £480 online through Trip.com for a double room for 3 nights. However, upon arrival, the hotel demanded an additional €400 simply because a second guest would be staying in the room. What made this even more unreasonable was that I checked the exact same room type on multiple other dates, and the price was identical whether selecting 1 adult or 2 adults. The listing itself also clearly indicated that the room rate included accommodation for 2 adults. Despite this, the hotel still charged an extra €400 at check-in. This additional amount only included breakfast and city tax for the second guest — there was absolutely no room upgrade, no extra bed, and no additional service provided. In fact, the amount charged was so excessive that it was close to the price of booking an entirely separate room. At check-in, the hotel stated that if we refused to pay, the second guest would not be allowed to stay. We tried multiple times to communicate with the hotel in a polite and constructive way, but there was no flexibility or reasonable attempt to resolve the issue. I completely understand paying reasonable extra charges for breakfast or local taxes, but the way this situation was handled felt extremely unfair and poorly communicated in advance. Trip.com customer service was actually very helpful throughout the process and even provided compensation themselves, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the hotel remained unwilling to address the situation fairly. The property itself may be nice, but this experience left us feeling disappointed, uncomfortable, and taken advantage of. Transparency and fairness in pricing are essential, especially for international travelers.

The staff were very pleasant. Breakfast was very good, with lots of choices, though it was the same every day. I can't comment on dinner as we only had breakfast, but we did eat at the hotel twice and had no complaints. The pools are relatively good, although the rooftop pool isn't deep enough (1 meter) and there aren't enough sun loungers across both pools; not enough space for everyone. However, the biggest downside was the rooms, or at least ours. The air conditioning vents had mold on them. The shower tray was broken in places, and the water temperature was very inconsistent, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, which was very unpleasant. We didn't have a terrace, so we couldn't dry our swimsuits and towels. As for the walls, there was absolutely no sound insulation; we could hear everything happening in other rooms as well as the noise in the corridors. The hotel is next to the airport, so there's airplane noise, but it's bearable. The surrounding area isn't bad, with plenty of restaurants and shops.

Hotel Artmadams is a handy base for a solo business trip thanks to its position just off Paseo Mallorca—minutes from the old town and public transport. My double room was spotless, the Wi-Fi solid, and the desk big enough for a laptop-heavy workday, though the floor space would feel crowded for two people sharing. Service, however, is hit-or-miss. I arrived late and the night receptionist’s limited English stretched the check-in longer than necessary. Mornings weren’t smoother: the small buffet is arranged almost randomly, plates are hidden in odd spots, and staff give instructions only in Spanish until you look confused, which makes breakfast more stressful than it should be. The room lacked an iron and hair-dryer, both available only on request. Likewise, the pillow on my first night was thin and decorative; only after housekeeping swapped it for a better one did I learn there’s a pillow menu—useful information that should be offered at check-in. In short, Artmadams delivers location, cleanliness, and reliable connectivity, but expect to ask for basics and brace for some communication gaps.

I stayed for three days starting October 6th, but the pool water was too cold to go in. I rented a car, so the location was perfect for getting into the city and the beach. The breakfast was the best I've ever had. Breakfast 20 euros Dinner 28 euros Parking: I rented a car, but when I tried to park at the hotel for 15 euros, they said there were no spaces and told me to park on the street for free. I was lucky one day, and the other day, there were no spaces, so I parked further away and walked. I'd already paid through the app at the front desk, but when they asked me to refund my money, I told them I'd already paid through the app. I only used the parking on the first day, but I received a three-day allowance at checkout. Be sure to check your receipt carefully before paying. Everything else was great.

It's 10 minutes from the airport and close to Palma City, so the location is very good. Because it's the sea in front, you can also watch the sea for breakfast I did yoga every morning while watching the sun rise on the terrace, and I was so happy that I could drink wine while listening to the sound of the waves on the terrace in the evening. The swimming pool is very small and the surrounding beach is so beautiful that I didn't use it. It was like an old building, but it was clean and the food was delicious. The bed and bedding were great, and above all, it was spacious and had two closets, so it was enough to use with friends. I was able to lie on the bed and see the sea right away. But the next room and the terrace are really close and you have to be careful because they look like they're all together. There is no parking lot, but the front desk staff kindly guided me so I could park well in the free parking area. If you go to Google navigation, you will be informed of the wrong road (the seaside road that cannot be driven by car), so you must enter the road outside one block from the seaside. Free parking area is easy to find around the hotel. It was a hotel I found in a hurry just before my trip, but it was a very satisfying stay.

A very nice hotel - beds are very comfortable, room is clean, shower is hot and powerful. Buffet breakfast and unlimited coffee and juice. Staff were lovely. The surrounding area is a bit dirty, but nothing to do with the hotel. Very popular with locals for morning coffee and drinks. A great place to go. Recommend!

It's close to Palma Airport. We arrived on an evening flight and stayed here for one night. It's mostly frequented by families and groups. The bar offers performances until 11 p.m. There's also a swimming pool, so please take note. We explored downtown Palma in the evening. Experience the different charms of Palma during the day and night.

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was calm and welcoming. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The food was also very good, with a nice variety and good quality. However, be careful when booking the hotel with children. When we made the booking, it was stated that children stay for free. Naturally, when booking a room for three people, you would expect that everything is included for all three guests. There was no information anywhere that we would need to pay an additional €40 per day for the child. When we ordered breakfast and dinner, no additional information was given that we would need to pay extra for the child. Only two days before our arrival did we receive a message saying that the child’s breakfast and dinner would cost €40 per day. Since we stayed for six nights, this added up to an extra €240, which is not a small amount. Overall, the hotel is very nice, but the information regarding children’s meals is misleading, so please be careful.

Excellent hotel right in front of of the beach. Nice rooftop bar with infinity pool. Staff is nice and the food is delicious.

Everything about this place is simply perfect. The soundproofing in the rooms is excellent, and we loved having a private balcony with sun loungers – such a relaxing touch. Breakfasts were absolutely amazing – varied, fresh, and delicious every morning. The hotel also has a sauna and a gym, which is a great bonus. The bed linen was spotless, and the pillows were incredibly comfortable – we slept like babies! Special thanks for the hotel’s beautiful interior design – stylish, modern, and very cozy. The location is ideal – just a 5-minute walk to the beach, literally right across the road. We also loved the opportunity to rent bicycles at the hotel. It took about 35–40 minutes to cycle to the city center, and I can’t even describe how enjoyable the ride was. I highly recommend renting bikes in the afternoon to enjoy the waterfront and the views. There’s also a rooftop pool, which we, unfortunately, didn’t get a chance to use since we only stayed for 3 nights – but I’m sure it’s just as perfect as everything else. We will definitely stay here again next time – no doubt about it!
