The hype
Travelers universally adore the staff and the 'rustic-modern' decor, often calling it a peaceful oasis in the city.
Hm Balanguera
$110-180/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want a design-forward, rustic-chic sanctuary that feels like a wealthy friend's townhouse, slightly removed from the tourist crush.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- Stunning 'all-white' Mediterranean interior design with natural wood and stone accents
- Rooftop plunge pool with panoramic city views (perfect for sunset)
- Excellent breakfast buffet with local Mallorcan products
Brzi pregled: A beautiful Instagram trap that nails the aesthetic but skimps on soundproofing and pool size.
Pregledano od @Itszig: I stumbled upon this absolute gem in Palma and I'm obsessed. The minimalist design is stunning, and having drinks on that rooftop terrace was the highlight of my trip. It feels like a private art gallery that you can sleep in.

Reality check
The 15-minute walk to the Old Town/Cathedral feels longer in the summer heat, and the 'pool' is often too crowded to actually use.
- You appreciate interior design (bookshelves, fireplaces, natural textures)
- You prefer a quiet residential vibe over the noisy city center
- You are a couple looking for a romantic, intimate base

Pre nego što rezervirate
Korisno znati
- This is the 'City' hotel (Balanguera 37), NOT the 'Beach' hotel — don't mix them up!
- Street parking is notoriously difficult; reserve the nearby parking in advance.
- The rooftop bar is unstaffed at times; you might need to bring drinks up from the lobby.
Šta pakovati
- Comfortable walking shoes (it's a 15-min trek to the Cathedral)
- Earplugs (essential for the thin walls)
- European power adapter (Type F)
Genie za sobe
Najbolji izbor
- Superior Double with Terrace (top floor for privacy and sun)
- Junior Suite (significantly larger at 37m² vs 21m² standard)
Sobe koje treba izbegavati

“I am looking for a quiet stay and would appreciate a room on a higher floor, away from the elevator. If available, a room facing the interior courtyard would be preferred for maximum quiet.”
Česta pitanja i skriveni saveti
Sve što zaista trebate da znate pre nego što rezervirate.
Is there a gym?
No. The HM Balanguera (City) has no fitness facilities. The HM Balanguera Beach does, but that is a different hotel.
How far is the beach?
Far. The nearest beach (Can Pere Antoni) is about a 30-40 minute walk or 10-minute taxi ride. This is a city hotel.
Is breakfast included?
Usually an extra fee (~€14/person) unless booked as a package, but highly rated for its variety and fresh local options.
Does the hotel have parking?
No on-site garage. They offer special rates at a nearby public parking lot (~€15/day) about 300m away.
Is the pool heated?
No, it is a small outdoor plunge pool. Refreshing in summer, too cold in winter.
Is it adults-only?
No, children are welcome, though the vibe is definitely more adult/couple-oriented. The 'Beach' sister hotel IS adults-only.
Insajderski saveti
- ✨
The lobby 'honesty bar' and library area is often empty and a great place to work or read in the evening.
- ✨
Ask for a 'courtyard' facing room if you want to avoid the morning street cleaning noise.
- ✨
There is a bus stop (Balanguera) just 200m away that takes you straight to the center if you're tired of walking.
5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete
💡The 'pool' is literally the size of a large jacuzzi — don't expect to swim laps.
💡The sink is often a stone basin outside the bathroom (in the main room), which looks cool but splashes everywhere.
💡There is no coffee machine in the standard rooms.
💡The neighborhood is very residential — you'll see real locals, not just tourists, but shops close early.
💡The 'Superior' room terrace is the only place you can really dry your swimwear.
