Firstly, having read the other reviews I think that Ostrich60 is being a little unfair, and perhaps a little bitter at having been made to carry her own bags up two flights of stairs (oh la la) and not getting her way with a last minute change of plans. Having resided here for six nights I can safely say that... More

Think Basil Fawlty must have trained here. The building is traditional and dining room has some interesting paintings by famous local artist. It's in a pleasant setting with views over the mountains from the upper rooms and is right next to the station - handy for the charming 2-guage wooden train from Palma and for the onward tram to the...

Lovely, traditional building, tastefully and simply decorated, lovely dining room, clean, good value, very nice food (breakfast every day, and we had one evening meal). No TV in the room, which I liked! Edificio muy atractivo, decoracion simple y de buen gusto, comedor encantador, limpio, de buen precio, comida muy buena. No hay television en la habitacion, lo que a... More

Small, friendly base from which we set out every day to explore the north part of the island. Simple, unfussy but comfortable, and large airy rooms. It feels as though you are staying in someone's house. Great central location in Soller on a quiet street, nearby square with excellent restaurants. And fantastic value.

On our first trip to Mallorca we selected Hotel El Guia because the hotel was recommended in Politiken's book: "The trip to Mallorca," and we were not disappointed. The hotel is located in a quiet side street near the railway station. We were warmly received by the hostess and the waiter, who immediately carried our suitcases up to the room, which... More

Hotel Guia is a simple tradional Spanish hotel. It it perfectly positioned for the train, tram and taxis but in a very quiet situation. Parking is difficult as anywhere in this town but the staff will help you to find a place. Cati jumped into the car and took us to a free car park. It is possible to unload... More

For me this is the antidote to a low cost airline flight and the bus trip from Palma’s airport through the urban sprawl: get off at Plaça d’Espanya and walk fifty yards west (ignoring the subway to the flashy modern transport hub) to reach a century old cast iron gateway that has ‘Ferrocarril de Sóller’ incorporated and take the hundred...

We stayed a week at El Guia, using it as a base for walks on the coast and in the mountains of northern Mallorca. The half-board deal gave us chances to eat real Mallorcan food in the evenings and the breakfasts were great with fresh pastries and local orange juice. We only ate out one evening in Soller and were... More

We stayed at Hotel El Guia for a week's walking holiday in March/April with my brother and sister in law and their son and had a very good time. El Guia is a plain, straightforward, family run hotel, good value, spotlessly clean, good sized rooms, but low on facilities and somewhat old fashioned. Wifi is available in the entrance hall... More
