Hostal Pons is a rather unique and remarkable place. The rooms are extremely basic and the ample facilities are shared but the situation is delightful. The hostal comprises a traditional Palma town house located in the old city. The house is elegant and everything is in easy walking distance including restaurants, cafes, a traditional panaderia, a pharmacy and the airport bus stop on Passieg de Mallorca. The hostal is run by young and enthusiastic owners and one would be hard pressed to find such convivial accommodation in this location at a comparable price.

The accommodation is a beautiful old Majorcan house in the centre of the old town being lovingly restored and cared for by the owners.A perfect spot ,very handy for everything.The property has a lovely peaceful feel and whether you are sitting in the courtyard garden or roof terrace (with nearby church bells occasionallychiming) this peace is all around.The owners Victoria and Gerard are charming and helpful,Gerard very kindly carried my case up the entrance steps and to my room which I appreciated.The bed was very comfortable ,single room was spacious,shared bathroom near my room was spotlessly clean,white subway tiles and great shower lots of hot water.En suite rooms are available but I booked last minute so none available.Very handy transport links to/from airport and Intermedial station from where you can get buses to places all over the island.Near all the main attractions of Palma plus shops,bars,restaurants(Gerard happy to recommend places and gave me perfect directions for airport bus stop).As a solo traveller felt very safe and will definately come back.

A fold down luggage rack for case would have saved having to bend down to get items out of case(and protected the beautiful original floor tiles).Being female a full length mirror would have been good and a mat of some sort in bathroom is needed to prevent possibly slipping on tiles.On the roof terrace some chairs and umbrellas would be good (there is a small brick seating bench,part of original building even cushions on that would be more comfortable).

On arrival we were greeted by Victoria who was helpful and attentive for the duration of our stay. Due to renovation she had given us a bigger room with an en suite and kitchen on the ground floor, which was lovely! The beds were clean and comfy, the bathroom was functional with a great powerful shower. Plenty of charm and very mallorca. We loved it. I asked for a kettle and some tea bags and we were provided with both. We also kept our luggage there after check out so we could have time in Palma without carrying it around all day before the evening flight. Overall, a lovely place, in the best position to explore Palma.

Nothing

Smalll functional room which had a single bed, table and a sink. Very reasonably priced room given it was booked in July in Mallorca. There was a lot of light, but unfortunately no curtain for the small window which meant that in the morning the sun came in. Toilets and showers were on lower floors but I had no issue accessing them. The location was very convenient as close to cathedral and 20 mins walk to the city beach and also near the maritime area. The building was a nice old Spanish colonial building and roof terrace next to my room was very nice. I was arriving after 10pm as my flight was delayed and only realised that staff were not around at that time - which was noted in the confirmation. I was emailing them via booking.com and they stayed and waiting for my arrival before 10.30pm.

The curtain on the small window meant that sunlight streamed in at 5am, and I have trouble sleeping so was an issue.

Heaps of character, lovely old building with antique furnishings. Our bed was very comfortable and good sized room (number 8) with sink and courtyard view. Didn't mind the shared bathroom The shower was very good. Toilet room was fairly small with no hand basin. Never had to wait to use bathroom. Staff very friendly, good communication, and able to store bags after checkout for an extra charge (EUR1pp). Fabulous location: right in the heart of Palma. We had two windows on opposite sides of the room, so got good airflow through. Didn't use aircon, but our perception was it's on a timer, and not particularly powerful. If you like modern and luxurious, this is not the place for you, but we loved it and would stay again.

Not a problem for us, but there are a lot of stairs and no lift. A bath mat in the shower room could have been handy. The room was not serviced whist we stayed: again, not a problem for us, just an FYI for others.

2 of our group were taking part in the Palma marathon, the hostel was in the perfect location for both the marathon and exploring Palma before & after the race . Plus there was plenty of choice of bars and restaurants close by too . The hostel was clean & tidy with traditional features ( which we loved) communal spaces & a bonus fridge & hot plate in our room , there was a little hiccup with the availability of hot water at times but it was understandably due to the high demands . The hosts were welcoming & helpful .

Beautiful space, with lovely furniture and interiors. The bedroom was simple but perfect for one person, I also had a sink in my room which was handy, and room included a towel. Bed was comfy. 👌🏼 I asked Victoria for a yoga studio recommendation, and she helped me with a map and name of a local place. She was very friendly and really approachable. Also WhatsApped her about travel to the airport and she responded really quickly with info. 🙌🏼

It was right next to a school and really noisy in the morning with school kids playing ball games before class. So it was a 730am wake up call! Although this may have just been an unlucky room allocation. Not many communal spaces where people were hanging out. No facilities to make coffee or tea, maybe some breakfast options would be good. I unfortunately had a main plumbing pipe in my room so every time someone used the toilet or shower I had the noise of the water running down the pipe, which was quite loud.

The property is in the center, really close to the cathedral, and walking distance to the main activities! The staff Victoria was amazing, really helpful and very nice. You have freedom to come and go whenever you want since they give you a key of the room and the property. The style is Mallorquín, a bit old, but you feel that you are in a house museum of the Spain of the 50s!

The property is in a narrow street and Uber/taxi drivers have a bit of trouble to get there. A bit expensive for a hostal, but prices are high in Mallorca in general.

- Great location - Historic building with beautiful interior and courtyard

I missed a few things that could have made the stay even better: - Table in a room as there was very little flat surface to place your belongings while the room was large and rather empty - Hooks & dry shelves in the shared washroom at the end of the long corridor -- luckily I had a carabiner I could use with my totebag - Tables and chairs in the rooftop terrace as there was nowhere to sit and enjoy the sun

The location is very, very good. Close to bars, restaurants, beautiful little streets, stores, museums. If you wanna stay in the center to see the surroundings this is your place. Staff was amazing, shared bathroom always looking clean and fresh, amazing decoration and terrace. Compliments to the amazing family responsible for the administration of the place.

Everything was super good. I stayed in the small bedroom for one person just for one night and it had everything I needed. Nice bed, a sink for some privacy while brushing, a table and a very nice fan. It is not a fancy room, but very comfortable and a fair deal.
