My Hotel In Palma, Majorca

I stayed in the Palacio Avenida In Palma

I took this picture from the bus stop, where I got off the bus from the air-port.  The closeness of the two, is the best thing about the hotel.

In the three days and two nights, I spent in the hotel, I didn’t manage to have a decent shower, as the taps were rather tired. I did get to sit in warm water, which might have helped my dry skin, but I had to keep my foot on the plug to stop the water running out.

One thing I didn’t like was the tiling on the floor.

It is clean and shiny in the picture, but with wet feet, it was like a skating rink.  Now I have had a stroke, but my balance is good.  Thank goodness it was, as if I hadn’t I’d have been on the floor several times in my short stay.

It is supposed to be a 4 star hotel, but I’ve had better facilities and service in B & B’s in places like Accrington. It could just be that Spain is in such a state, that everything is being done to cut costs.

I didn’t eat much in the hotel, just sampling one very poor cold breakfast, where I wasn’t even offered coffee or any hot food.

I certainly won’t be staying there again.

  2. […] The restaurant made up for the sub-standard hotel. […]

    • I wanted to be in the centre and it looked OK from the reviews. But remember, I don’t drive, so one of the hotels outside of the city was not on.
