Criticas Hotel Horizonte, Tripadvisor: ““Nice surprise!”

I stayed in the single room with a sea view on the 4th floor with half board. From my balcony I could see a part of the Porto Pi and the Cruiser ship, a part of the city of palma and the cathedral, also the landing and the take off of the airplane in the distance. There are a couple of buildings right in front of the hotel Horizonte, blocking some parts of the panoramic view but that didn't disturb me much. Probably if you stay on the higher floor you would have an undisturbed panoramic view.
The hotel Horizonte was a nice surprise. On reading some feedbacks before the arrival, I had no high expectation towards the hotel. However my stay turned out to be a nice surprise!

Cleanliness- although the facilities are old and some places needs to be repaired, the room and the common places were impeccably clean.

Very friendly and helpful staff- not only the receptionists, but the dining room staff, the night guard, cleaning person...everyone was nice and so helpful!

Accessibility- I'm a budget traveller, so I use always a public transportation. From the airport Bus no. 1, transfer the bus to no. 46 at "Placa d'Espanya" or even better at "Comte de Sallent" (catch the bus 46 at the bus stop on the same street side where you get off) and get off at "Francesc Vidal i Sureda- Hotel Valparaiso" and the hotel Horizonte is just across the bus stop.
If you are in a hurry and too lazy to change the bus, you can also stay on the bus no. 1 and get off at "Porto Pi". It's perhaps just 250 m distance from the hotel but you must walk UP the very steep slope. I would do that only if I'm in a hurry or have no luggage. Otherwise I would rather spend 1,50 euro more for another bus not to get sweat.

Food- perhaps because I was expecting something of a school cafeteria- the food was quite a nice surprise too. Breakfast with a freshly prepared bacon and eggs or in the evening meat or fish prepared on grill.Only the downside is- a coffee out of the common quick coffee machine probably prepared with a milk powder.

Shopping- American style shopping mall "Porto Pi shopping center" is just 5 min. walk down the hill.

Hotel Amic Horizonte reviews by Tripadvisor "Palma Delight!"

Sie haben uns gefunden. Buchen Sie jetzt direkt. Die 17 %, über die Hotels nur selten sprechen Wir möchten Ihnen etwas erzählen, das Hotels normalerweise nicht öffentlich erklären. Wenn Sie Ihren Aufenthalt im Hotel Amic Horizonte über Booking.com reservieren, zahlt unser Hotel ungefähr 17 % des Buchungswertes als Provision . Sie sehen diesen Betrag wahrscheinlich nicht. Er erscheint vor der Zahlung nicht als zusätzlicher Aufpreis. Trotzdem existiert er. Bei einer Buchung über 500 € gehen ungefähr 85 € an den Vermittler.

Hotel Horizonte Reviews by tripadvisor: “Very good value, clean and tidy”

This hotel is ideal for those looking for a cheap hotel that is clean and well maintained. The only drawback is the location, in that, it is at the top of a very large number of steps from the seafront at Porto Pi. This should only be a concern for those that are not relatively fit or are not willing to use public transport. ( the number 46 bus stops outside the hotel and will take you in or bring you back from Palma town). A taxi rank is situated opposite the hotel and costs €8 into the centre of town.The location does provide magnificent views across the harbour, where cruise ships dock daily. We had a superior room which was a little more expensive, but it did provide beautiful sea and pool views, had a jacuzzi, shower and hair dryer, a nice small balcony for two and was spotlessly clean. The maid cleaned our room daily and provided fresh towels. Free wifi was included with this room and worked well throughout the hotel. Breakfast was very much as you would expect in a hotel o...

Hotel Amic Gala recensioni su TripAdvisor “Complimenti Hotel Gala!!!”

L'hotel ha soddisfatto a pieno me e i miei amici: 1- il prezzo è molto vantaggioso! 2- la pulizia è eccellente. Si è accolti da un buon odore di pulito tanto nelle stanze quanto negli ambienti comuni. 3- ottima posizione. La spiaggia neanche due minuti a piedi; fermata del bus di fronte l'hotel...i bus a maiorca sono molto efficienti, frequenti, puliti. In poco tempo si raggiungono palma, el arenal, lo stesso aereoporto.  4- cibo in abbondanza e delizioso! Lo chef è veramente bravissimo oltre ad essere simpatico e disponibile, come tutto lo staff del resto!
