Request a quiet side or inward-facing room, especially in high season; weekend street noise may affect front-facing rooms.
Guests are especially fond of BO Hotel Palma’s central old-town setting, which makes the cathedral, marina and Palma’s dining scene easy to reach on foot. The friendly, helpful staff and diligent housekeeping earn frequent appreciation, while the boutique atmosphere and terrace are welcome extras. Breakfast is generally seen as a pleasant, simple start to the day rather than a major highlight. Its biggest compromise is the lively La Lonja surroundings, where late-night passers-by can occasionally bring street noise.
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of BO Hotel Palma.
Request a quiet side or inward-facing room, especially in high season; weekend street noise may affect front-facing rooms.
Book the Sky Suite well in advance for generous space and one of the town’s best private terraces.
Use the nearby parking garage, call for directions, and walk or take a taxi; sat-nav may route you through residents-only streets.

BO Hotel Palma is a small, romantic hideaway with a distinctly local sense of place. Set within a carefully restored 19th-century building, it pairs contemporary boutique styling with Majorcan architectural details, creating an intimate base that feels polished without losing its old-town character. The terrace, with its sun loungers, adds a welcome spot for slowing down between city walks.
Its address on Sant Joan Street puts you right in La Lonja, one of Palma’s most atmospheric historic quarters. The cathedral, marina and the lanes of the old town are all close enough to explore on foot, making this an especially easy choice for couples and city-break travellers who want restaurants, bars and landmarks on the doorstep. A light continental-style breakfast helps start the day, while the central setting means late-night street life is part of the neighbourhood experience.
Guests regularly praise the warm, attentive team and the housekeeping staff, along with the hotel’s charming feel and exceptionally convenient position for exploring Palma. Many leave saying they would happily return. The main trade-off is the lively location: occasional noise from evening crowds can be noticeable, so those seeking a very quiet retreat may prefer a room away from the street.
