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
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You're a solo traveler under 30 who wants a rooftop pool and 'glam-hostel' vibes without the chaos of a party dungeon.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Rooftop pool with sun terrace (rare for hostels here)
- Modern 'pod' beds with privacy curtains and internal lights
- Immaculately clean facilities with daily housekeeping
Kurzfassung: It looks like a boutique hotel on Instagram, but it's strictly a youth hostel with age limits, towel rental fees, and thin walls.
Bewertet von @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.

- You are 18-29 and want to meet people
