Request a pool-facing room on the 3rd or 4th floor, preferably higher, for attractive pool, city, and harbour views.
What guests mention
Guests generally see BQ Augusta as a clean, comfortable and good-value Palma base, praising its spacious rooms, well-kept pool terrace and helpful apartment-style facilities. The quieter neighbourhood near Porto Pi appeals to visitors who do not need to be in the old town, and buses or taxis are considered convenient for getting around. The main drawback is the steep uphill approach, while the centre is not easily reached on foot for everyone. Pool loungers and walk-in showers are frequently appreciated.

Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of BQ Augusta Hotel.
Top tips
Take a taxi up the steep hill if walking is difficult; taxis are plentiful and a ride back from exploring costs about €8.
Bring extra hangers and budget approximately £2 per day for access to the room safe.
Prepare for the hotel’s uphill location and a walk that is somewhat far from the city centre but still manageable.
Walk to Porto Pi shopping centre, about 10 minutes away.
Visit the Juan Miró museum or gallery.
Ask for the best available rate when checking in.
Take your time at breakfast, as tables are generally available throughout the morning.
Take advantage of the extensive breakfast selection.
Use the pool towels with the required small deposit.
Use the large pool and terrace as a relaxing space.
Ask for a room overlooking the castle and cathedral.
Request an end-of-hallway room for a quieter stay.
Request a fourth-floor road-facing room for a quiet stay.
Book room 108 if more than two people need a spacious room with a separate kitchen.
Choose a room with a kitchenette if you value the extra convenience.
Consider rooms 302 or 303 as the next-best alternatives to room 301.
Request room 301 for its central position above the pool, one-sided neighbours, and kitchenette.
Avoid pool-view rooms if you are sensitive to noise, as sound travels across the pool area.
Choose another base if you want a resort setting with nearby bars and restaurants.
About BQ Augusta Hotel
BQ Augusta Hotel is a relaxed, practical base in Palma’s La Bonanova neighbourhood, combining hotel rooms with studios and apartments for stays that need a little more space. The feel is unfussy rather than flashy: a sunny outdoor pool and terrace provide a welcome pause after sightseeing, while some balconies look out towards Palma. Rooms are generously sized, and the self-catering options add useful flexibility for families, longer visits or business travellers.
The hotel sits close to Palma’s port, with Bellver Park nearby and the old town a short drive away. Porto Pi and its shops are within easy reach, while buses and taxis make getting into central Palma straightforward. It is particularly well suited to guests who prefer a quieter residential setting over a doorstep-in-the-centre address. Do note that the approach includes a fairly steep incline, which may be less convenient with heavy luggage or limited mobility. Free parking is available when spaces permit, and breakfast, light café meals and a bar cover the easy essentials.
Guests tend to appreciate the hotel’s cleanliness, roomy accommodation and pleasant pool terrace, especially the plentiful places to stretch out in the sun. The walk-in showers and apartment-style facilities also earn favourable mentions. While the hill and distance from the historic core are recurring practical considerations, many visitors find the calm location and easy transport links make it a comfortable choice for exploring Palma.
