HM Balanguera is situated just 10mins walk from the centre of Palma in a quiet area. The staff are very friendly and the reception and breakfast are bright, clean & inviting. We stayed in a junior suite which was perfect for our stay with a large bed, double sink, wet/room shower and separate toilet. Two flat screen TVs allowed us to watch tv in bed but also in the small lounge. Complimentary mini bar was a bonus and is fully stocked on arrival but not replenished. There was a sun terrace with sunbed which was nice to get some fresh air and would be fantastic in summer. Breakfast was superb with fresh scrambled egg, bacon and the usual continental offerings. Pastries were amazing and fresh juice and coffee. Fresh and vibrant setting for breakfast. Some fantastic restaurants just 10mins walk and also only 10 mins to city centre and train station as Soller is a must visit. There is a pool on the top floor and drinks can be ordered at reception, no bar as such. We enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine one afternoon after a walk for only €6.

Just arrived back from Palma having stopped at the HM Balenguera, the only tiny issue we could have with the hotel was its location, it is approx. 20-minute walk to the front, though this is along one straight road all the way down, though this was part of why we chose it but it was perhaps slightly further than we had thought, though you can walk half down then take a left which will take you on to Jaime 111 avenue which takes you straight into the heart of the city. Other than that the hotel and its staff were fantastic, we couldn't fault anything, the breakfast was good and in a communal style, non-formal setting which was great, all the usual options, cereals, cold meats, cheese, bread, hot food, pastries, tea, coffee, etc. Other reviews complain about the rooms, we did find some of the issues that people mentioned, limited storage, etc. but this certainly didn't bother us nor ruin our holiday we just dealt with it. The hotel is a modern take on traditional Spanish cave houses, so all the lines are soft and round as though sculpted from stone, with solid white walls the pool is small, which we were informed of by reception at check-in, personally if you wanted a hotel with a proper pool, etc. you wouldn't be looking at this hotel in this location, maybe something more towards the harbor. When checking out we asked if reception could order us a taxi for 8.30 which they did without hesitation, the taxi was at the door at 8.35, which was perfect and not under the control of the hotel, all in all, I would highly recommend the HM Balenguera and would definitely stop there again if we were to return to Palma. Muchos gracias to all the staff for making our stay so wonderful.

The hotel is modern, clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. The room we had - a junior suite- was very well designed and comfortable. Great bathroom arrangement, separate sitting area with facilities for making tea/coffee, a super terrace for relaxing outside and the most comfortable bed ever!

HM Balanguera is a good hotel. It's located in a relatively calm street, with no much traffic. It's not in the very center of the city of Palma, but nevertheless the distance between the two points concerned isn't too long, and going on foot from one to the other turns up a nice walk. The hotel is very well decorated, particularly the lobby. It's very cosy thanks to being decorated with much taste. The breakfast room is somewhat special, There is a big table in the middle, at which all the guests having breakfast sit down and talk between themselves should the occasion arise. It's a nice way to associate with other people. The weak point as regards this room is that it's close to the kitchen, both rooms communicating with each other through a door. Most of time the door is open so that one can hear the yelling of the women working at the hotel. I used to close the door but it was again opened and thus we had to bear the said disturbance again. Another nuisance is the awful music played at breakfast time. Once I asked the receptionist kindly to reduce its volume. He was more than kind to stop the music completely, for which I was very grateful to him. The breakfast, by the way, is very good and abundant. Everything is of an excellent quality except the orange juice, which tastes too bad as to doubt on its artificial nature. The bedroom is quite peaceful and comfortable. I had a good stay at the hotel thanks to that. I hardly heard any noise while in the room. The bed is very comfy, it having a mattress with the right toughness for ensuring a good rest. And in the room there is everything needed for satisfying the necessities of the guests. I asked for a kettle and they kindly provided me with one. The staff members are all very kind and helpful. They do at every moment whatever possible to ensure that the guests feel as well as possible during their stay at the hotel. The hotel concerned is therefore a good place to stay in Palma de Mallorca, and one I would absolutely recommend to everyone wishing to have a pleasant and relaxing stay on the island.
