Great hotel, great location: near shops, restaurants and bars in all shapes and sizes. Rooms like ballrooms, free soft drinks and water from minibar. Bathroom is big it could easily accomodate a party. (Balcony only 15 cm wide, what a shame...) All art and most of the furniture are originals!!! Personell is very friendly and adding a personal touch to your stay is no problem at all. Even the general manager takes a personal interest in making your stay memorable.

Restaurant not suitable for dinners as you probably are the only guest or it might be in use for a business reception and therefore not accesible. (But many of the best Maljorcan restaurants are nearby serving every kind of food you can think of).

Parking never full, therefore no problem with the small parking space. (You simple use a little more than one space as everybody does.) Garage entrance not easy to find on your own due to narrow streets, but ask for a short desciption a reception and your probleem is easily solved. (Hotel is really easy to find, although antoher reviewer thinks is not, we disagree with that.)

Garagedoor makes a lot of noise and if your room is located near it you might be woken up several times. (Eq. Both handicapped rooms are over the entrance of the garage.)

For the handicapped: 2 rooms completely equiped as we have never seen before! Just beware of slippery floors and bring your slippers; and make sure they leave the carpet in your bedroom to avoid falling. (On Mallorca personal assistance/nursing is available.)

Astma patients should leave the room while cleaning as the cleaner used for the bathroom could lead to breathing problems. But the result is a very clean room.

TIp: the hotel can be cheaper if booked through a travel agent rather than the internet. The rates vary

Ideally situated close to the Ave Jaume shops and the cathedral, this hotel was a gem. Obviously a business hotel during the week, they offered a special weekend rate and my fears that they wouldn't be able to cope with a baby were unfounded. They were so friendly and helpful and the baby cot in our large room was beautifully laid out with soft teddy blankets! so much so our little one had the best sleep she's had for months!
Obviously a small-ish family run hotel, you can tell by the "intimate" service, the rooms were traditionally but tastefully furnished (I'm bored with the minimalist look and it wouldn't have suited my mother who stayed here also!) and immaculately clean (very important to me-I'm very fussy and always inspect the bathrooms for cleanliness).
The only downsides (and I'm being choosy now) were; no roof terrace/pool but this isn't what you'd book into the hotel for; it was very quiet at the weekend-who's complaining! and it's almost impossible to find the hotel and underground car park (via car) even with the hotel directions. If you are travelling by car, the hotel is directly off the "Passeig Mallorca", on the right before the "Telepizza" windmill!
I can't wait to stay there again-a smal oasis of relaxing luxury with lovely, friendly and attentive staff.

The Continental hotel was in an excellent location in Palma - if only ou could actually find it We spent four days there and never did get it first time due to the poor street signage and the roundabout one way streets. However, it's only a short walk from the main shops and about 10 minute stroll to the harbour.
The hotel itself was very clean but our room was tiny - two of us squeezed in and around the beds then you could have got a whole morris dancing team into the bathroom (which was fantastic). It was so tiny that the wardrobe was actually IN the bathroom. Very unusual. Perhaps we were just unlucky though. Breakfast was really good and the place had underground parking which was a bonus for us.
The staff were pleasant and helpful and we loved the internal glass lifts.
Nicely designed and understated hotel.

In fact, I must to say, that I did not stay in this hotel, just I visited the hotel.

Palma, has wonderful hotels, but all the hotels, were not very pepared for handicapped people with wheelchair, they were just adapted. Now the Hotel Continental, new built, has made some rooms for handicapped, the fact, is that this rooms are not adapted for handicapped, but built already for them. I think this is the best recomendation, the hotel is new and very nice.
