The hype
Travelers love the resort-style rooftop and privacy pods, but hate the nickel-and-dime fees for everything from luggage storage to towels.
The Boc Hostels City - Albergue Juvenil
$30-150 / gabi
I-book ito kung You're a solo traveler under 30 who wants a rooftop pool and 'glam-hostel' vibes without the chaos of a party dungeon.
Bakit Ito Minamahal ng Mga Tao
- Rooftop pool with sun terrace (rare for hostels here)
- Modern 'pod' beds with privacy curtains and internal lights
- Immaculately clean facilities with daily housekeeping
Mabilis na Sumisid: It looks like a boutique hotel on Instagram, but it's strictly a youth hostel with age limits, towel rental fees, and thin walls.
Sinuri ng @stephanietrebell: I was blown away by how modern and safe this hostel felt! The rooftop terrace became my go-to spot for sunsets, and the electronic lockers gave me total peace of mind. It’s the perfect base for a solo trip to Palma.

Reality check
The AC is centrally controlled and often too cold or too hot, and the 'social vibe' dies down early because the bar closes around 7:30-8:00 PM.
- You are 18-29 and want to meet people
- You need a gym and pool on a budget
- You appreciate design-forward dorms with privacy
