Ca n’Alexandre, Palma de Mallorca

Request a terrace room for city rooftop views, especially in summer; it may be less useful in cooler months.

Request a room at the back, ideally on the top floor, for a quieter stay.

Choose a street-facing room for a view without much noise; the front rooms have good insulation.

Use the top-floor terrace as a place to relax.

Have breakfast at the hotel.

Request a fourth-floor room for a quiet, private stay.

Avoid the smaller room if you want an outlook; it faces a small inner courtyard.

Tell staff your room preferences when booking or checking in, since the rooms differ in this converted building.

Take the A1 bus from the airport; the journey takes about 15 minutes.

Ignore outdated Google Street View images when locating the hotel.

Use the central location as a convenient base for exploring Palma.

Use the nearby underground parking and ask the hotel to arrange its discounted rate.

Take the public bus to Puerto Soller in under an hour, or use the regularly operating train.

Bring drinks or plan ahead if you need one after midnight, as no staff are available then.

Look carefully for the entrance, which may be obscured by a delivery van.

Buy a 10X bus ticket from the small white-and-green machines at most bus stops or near the train station.

Choose a superior room over a standard room, and ask about the shower room for use after checkout before a late flight.

Ask staff for maps, online guidance, and directions to places you want to visit.
