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/ nacht
Boek dit als You're a solo traveler under 30 who wants a rooftop pool and 'glam-hostel' vibes without the chaos of a party dungeon.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Rooftop pool with sun terrace (rare for hostels here)
- Modern 'pod' beds with privacy curtains and internal lights
- Immaculately clean facilities with daily housekeeping
Snel Overzicht: It looks like a boutique hotel on Instagram, but it's strictly a youth hostel with age limits, towel rental fees, and thin walls.
Beoordeeld door @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

The shared kitchen has fridges, but label your food clearly or it might get tossed.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat

💡The rooftop bar closes surprisingly early (often 7:30-8:00 PM), killing the vibe before the night starts.
💡AC is centrally controlled; you cannot adjust the temperature in your room.

💡You need a specific size padlock (30mm width) or the locker won't close properly.
