Request a rear-facing room for quieter nights; you’ll sacrifice port views but avoid much of the pool, bar, and club noise.
What guests mention
Guests are especially fond of the hotel’s attractive Menorcan character, thoughtful concierge service and welcoming management. The cave pool and spa are frequently highlighted as distinctive touches, and many visitors leave feeling they have had a particularly pleasant stay. Its Ciutadella setting near the port is another draw. The main caveat is scale: the pool is small, so it may feel less suitable for guests expecting generous resort-style facilities or serious swimming space.

What guests who stayed here recommend
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of Faustino Gran.

Skip the car for your hotel stay; everything is nearby and taxis are good, but hire a car for beaches and out-of-town trips.

About Faustino Gran
Faustino Gran brings a distinctly Menorcan sense of character to Ciutadella, pairing a charming atmosphere with the polished feel that also works well for business-minded stays. It is the sort of place where the details matter: a beautiful setting, attentive service and a spa element that gives the hotel a more restorative side than a simple overnight base.
Set in Ciutadella on Menorca, the hotel is a practical choice for travellers wanting to be close to the town’s historic appeal and its port. The spa and compact pool areas, including the much-mentioned cave pool, make it especially appealing for couples and short breaks, while its composed, well-run feel suits guests mixing leisure with work. It is best approached as a characterful city stay rather than a sprawling resort.
Guests often describe their time here as genuinely lovely, with the concierge team earning particular appreciation for their help and warmth. The general manager is also mentioned positively, suggesting a hands-on approach to hospitality. The small pool is a recurring talking point: atmospheric and memorable for many, though guests looking for extensive swimming space may find it more of a place to unwind than to do laps.
