Joan Miró Museum Hotel in Palma

I don’t understand how this hotel is 4 stars? The rooms are dated and the beds are squeaky. The curtains are thin and let daylight shine into room making it difficult to sleep longer. It definitely does not feel like the stars are real. It is located quite far from Palma centro and buses only run till midnight. I wanted to check out late but was told there is a 50€ surcharge for this even in low season! Nevertheless, I did check out an hour late for free. I would not come back to this hotel, there are many better options around!

Difficult to park, no one answer the phone call after I found something missed to check with hotel, I have to spend one hour to go back the hotel to check with them. The location is far from sea , the description of sea view is nonsense.

Hotel Joan has been a pleasant stay for a group of four girls ( in our late 20s). We stayed in 2 double bedrooms for 4 nights.

Rooms were clean, air conned and a good size. They provided slippers and clean towels each day. There was also shampoo and body wash. The beds were clean and comfy and we were also provided with TVs in each room.

There is a mini bar which charges at a fair price ( €2.80 euro for Fanta/ coke ETC).

Breakfast was excellent !! A great mixture of continental ( yogurt, fruit, veg, bread, cakes, pastries) and cooked ( pancakes, fresh omelette, sausages, bacon etc). There was also a coffee machine and lots of alternative milk options which was great.

There is also a bar and restaurant available throughout the day. We got the club sandwich on one of the days which was delicious and a good price.

Sadly, there was a strong smell of sewage that came in waves throughout the day / night coming from a vent. The rest of the hotel was fresh and did not appear a problem. We asked the staff if they could help with this which they said they would take a look at however it did not seem to go. We were able to continue staying , however the smell was quite off putting.

Despite this staff were amazing and kind, and the pool and gym were kept in excellent condition. Despite it being summer holidays there was plenty of space to sunbathe and the pool never felt too busy.

The hotel is located about 10 minute walk from the centre of Cala major and 2 minutes from a local corner shop and bus stop ( just a reminder that the buses only accept cash or getting a special bus card).

The staff were really helpful in ordering us a taxi for our 5am morning flight.

We enjoyed our stay and feel it was a good deal for the price ( £280 per person for a 4 night stay - breakfast included).
