What guests mention
Guests consistently single out Can Cera’s calm, polished character and its enviable base in Palma’s historic centre, with the cathedral and narrow old-town streets easy to reach.

Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of Can Cera Hotel.
Top tips
Choose a suite or junior suite for extra space and amenities, especially the junior suite.
Ask for a quiet room away from the street and courtyard, since both areas can carry daytime or restaurant noise.
Request room 4 for the hotel’s largest bathroom and ample space, but expect some darkness and lobby noise.
Request room 3 for a comfortable, beautifully appointed small suite.
Request room 12 for a very large, quiet room with comfortable beds and distinctive furnishings.
Request room 14 for a spacious, attractive room.
Request room 9 for a large, bright, comfortable room; its courtyard outlook can remain quiet.
Request room 5, the spacious junior suite with a private balcony overlooking the courtyard.
Spend time in the communal rooms, second-floor lounge, and rooftop terrace to enjoy the historic house.
Choose room 10 for a bright, top-floor, double-aspect courtyard setting and good value; reach it by stairs, and expect voices to carry.
Book the Can Cera suite in low season for extra space and better value.
Avoid room 1 because it is spacious but sits near reception, above the kitchens, and beside a noisy alley.
Request room 10 for a splendid room, but expect restaurant noise until closing.
Request room 6 for high ceilings, a king-size bed, and generous space, while allowing for some common-area noise.
Reserve hotel parking early; if unavailable, use the public garage below Plaza Major, a five-minute walk away, with concierge assistance.
Reserve the one-room spa in advance; some bookings include one complimentary hour.
Use the hotel as a base for exploring Palma’s old city; central sights are easily reached on foot.
Avoid room 2 if you want light or quiet; it is dark, courtyard-facing, and can be noisy.
Contact the hotel before arrival to request a preferred room, since each room is unique.
Request a room away from both the kitchens and the elevator.
Request room 7 for nighttime quiet, but expect restricted views, high windows, and proximity to the lift shaft.
Request a back-facing room rather than a courtyard-facing room for quieter nights.
Choose a top-floor room for more light and potentially less noise.
Bring earplugs and keep windows closed at night if you are sensitive to corridor noise or mosquitoes.
Try the hotel restaurant, especially the monkfish liver.
Try the downstairs breakfast, which is included with some offers.
Avoid rooms 1 and 2 if possible, and request an upper-floor alternative.
Request room 4 for spacious accommodation overlooking the interior courtyard, though it has no outward view.
Request room 9 for a spacious room near the lounge and rooftop terrace.
Book well in advance for the best room choice; the hotel has only 14 rooms and demand is high.
Ask for a room with a separate bathroom; some larger rooms have open-plan toilets.
Request a higher-floor room; the first and top floors are especially appealing.
Walk to Mallorca’s attractions from the hotel.
Request room 15 for a particularly quiet stay.
Request room 8 for its lovely design and very large bathroom.
Check expected daytime noise levels if you plan to spend time working or relaxing in the room.
Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise from the tiled common areas.
Ask for a kettle if you want tea or coffee-making facilities in the room.
Avoid rooms 10, 11, and 12 if stairs are difficult, as they can only be reached by stairs.
Request a walk-in shower, especially because rooms 6 and 10 reportedly have bathtub-only showers.
Rent a small car because parking spaces at the hotel are tight.
Meet Uber about three minutes away because it cannot collect or drop off directly at the hotel.
Ask large taxis to stop at the nearby square, about 80 metres away, because access to the hotel is difficult.
Request an outside-facing room if you want to avoid Muzak from the bar.
Request room 5 if you need a private bathroom, spacious accommodation, and a quiet courtyard setting.
Check the bathroom layout before booking if you require a separate shower, as some rooms have a shower over the bath.
Avoid bringing a car, and compare local rental agencies instead of renting through the hotel.
Ask for a room with access to the roof terrace.
Request room 6 for its beauty and common-area setting, but expect a small bathroom without a walk-in shower.
Request room 7 for morning sun and rooftop views.
Request room 14 for a lovely accommodation.
Avoid Suite Can Cera (room 3) and the junior suite (room 11) if you are sensitive to noise.
Request room 11 for its walk-in shower, but close the windows to reduce alley and street noise.
Dine at the hotel’s restaurant for highly regarded food.
About Can Cera Hotel
Can Cera feels less like a conventional hotel and more like being invited into the beautifully eccentric home of a well-travelled collector. Set within a former palace, its intimate rooms pair antiques and period pieces with contemporary art, dramatic full-length drapes and carefully placed lighting. Design-minded guests will enjoy the details: an iconic chair here, a sculptural lamp there, and plenty of personality behind the historic walls.
It sits in Palma de Mallorca’s atmospheric Old Town, a particularly handy address for wandering the lanes, reaching the cathedral and dipping into the city’s restaurants and shops without needing to plan much transport. Its small scale and residential feel suit couples, culture-focused weekenders and anyone who prefers character over a large resort’s bustle. There is also a spa for slower afternoons after sightseeing.
Guests regularly describe the hotel as peaceful, stylish and exceptionally well cared for. The team receives warm praise for attentive, personal service, while breakfast and the roomy, individually decorated accommodation are frequent highlights. Junior suites are especially popular for a little extra space. A few visitors note that the moody interior lighting can be less practical than it is atmospheric, but most feel the thoughtful service and central setting make for a special Palma stay.
