Before you book
Good to know
- The hotel entrance is tucked away in a courtyard; it can be tricky to find for taxi drivers.
- Breakfast is ~€18/person; it's decent but you can find better coffee and pastries nearby for half the price.
- There is no gym on-site, so plan your workouts outdoors or buy a day pass elsewhere.
What to pack
- Earplugs (essential for morning noise)
- European power adapter (standard Type F plugs)
- Walking shoes (Palma is best seen on foot)
Room Genie
Best picks
- Junior Suite for the extra living space (standard rooms are tight)
- Top-floor courtyard facing for the best light and slightly less noise
Rooms to avoid
- Ground floor courtyard rooms (zero privacy, maximum breakfast noise)
- Street-facing rooms on lower floors (pedestrian chatter)
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would love a room on the highest possible floor facing the courtyard. Please avoid the ground floor or any room directly adjacent to the breakfast setup area, as we are light sleepers.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is there a gym at M House Hotel?
No, there is absolutely no fitness center on-site. You'll need to run outside or find a local gym.
Is the pool heated?
No, the rooftop plunge pool is seasonal (April-October) and unheated. It's more for a quick dip than a swim.
Does the hotel have parking?

How is the breakfast?
It's a buffet with à la carte options for around €18. Reviews are mixed on value; many guests prefer local cafes nearby.
Is it wheelchair accessible?
Technically yes, but with caveats. There is an elevator, but some guests report having to navigate stairs to reach specific rooms. Contact the hotel directly to ensure a fully accessible room.
Can I bring my dog?
No, M House Hotel is not pet-friendly.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast at least once and go to Rosevelvet Bakery just around the corner for incredible specialty coffee.
- ✨
The 'Superior' rooms aren't much bigger than standard; splurge on a Junior Suite if you want actual space to open your suitcase.
- ✨
Ask reception for a reservation at the rooftop pool; it's tiny and can get crowded if you don't book a slot.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'courtyard view' means the courtyard can also view *you*—keep your curtains drawn if you're on a lower floor.
💡The elevator doesn't service every single floor perfectly; you might still have a half-flight of stairs.
💡The Marshall speakers are a nice touch but can contribute to the noise problem if your neighbor likes bass.
💡The AC is powerful but the thermostat can be finicky to adjust to a stable temperature.
💡There is a 'secret' back entrance that locals use to cut through the block, making the alley busier than it looks.
