Guests are especially fond of the personable, proactive staff and the hotel’s peaceful old-town setting, which makes Palma’s key sights easy to reach on foot. Clean, well-designed rooms, powerful showers, welcome drinks and thoughtful in-room touches receive frequent praise. The rooftop terrace and its small pool are a valued place to unwind, while breakfast is generally considered plentiful and fairly priced. The main drawback mentioned is occasional noise through room walls, though most guests feel the comfort and service outweigh it.

About Hotel Basilica
Hotel Basilica feels like a quietly polished Palma hideaway: a former grand town house brought back to life with the help of local craftspeople. Original arches, timber beams, lofty ceilings and Mallorcan-made floors give it genuine old-town character, while the finish is contemporary, bright and unfussy. Exterior-facing rooms are designed for comfort, with climate control and sound insulation, and the rooftop terrace offers a welcome pause above the city, complete with a petite pool and handsome views.
It sits in Palma’s historic centre, close enough to make the Cathedral, Almudaina Palace and Plaza Mayor an easy walk, yet tucked into a notably calm pocket of the old town. Restaurants, independent shops and the city’s everyday buzz are all nearby, making this a particularly good fit for couples, first-time Palma visitors and anyone who prefers exploring on foot to relying on taxis.
Guests consistently single out the genuinely thoughtful team, from the warm arrival to helpful local advice. Rooms are widely described as spotless, attractive and comfortable, with details such as quality toiletries, coffee machines and a stocked minibar appreciated. Breakfast and the rooftop are popular highlights, and many feel the hotel delivers strong value. A few guests do note that sound can travel between rooms, but the peaceful setting and attentive service leave a strong impression overall.
