Hotel Eden Nord, Port de Soller

Request a higher or top-floor room, preferably away from the lift, for better views and a quieter stay.

Pay extra for a sea-view room; these are among the best rooms and avoid potential wall views.

Upgrade to a superior room for more space, a balcony, and better mountain or pool views.

Avoid rear or garden-view rooms because they may face a close wall and receive little sunlight.

Request a mountain- or pool-facing room rather than an undesirable hillside outlook.

Avoid corner rooms because they are smaller, overlooked, and have restricted balcony space.

Choose a pool-facing room for surrounding views and generally quieter conditions than the roadside rooms.

Choose a front-facing room for mountain views, or a rear room if quiet matters more.

Park a hire car free on the adjacent street; spaces were generally available.

Expect rooms to be smaller than average and request a large room if space is important.

Request a decent-sized balcony, as some rooms have restricted outdoor space.

Avoid rooms ending 16, 18, 20, or 22.

Ask for rooms ending 12, 13, or 14 for bay and mountain views.

Take a frequent local bus from the airport instead of a taxi.

Make your reservation the day after Thanksgiving if your travel dates are known well in advance.

Use the gym, but do not expect dedicated facilities for young children.

Base yourself in Port de Soller for a quiet holiday near the beach and warm water.

Leave your baggage at reception if you arrive early, then use the pool area.

Eat out instead of relying on the hotel food.

Add breakfast to your booking; it offers good value.

Allow for a slight uphill walk when returning to the hotel.

Choose half board for a convenient dining option.

Check the charges for using the fridge and safe box before choosing a premier room.

Expect limited soundproofing and consider requesting a quieter room.

Request an extra pillow if you need more than one to sleep comfortably.

Bring an eye mask because the curtains do not block much light, and pack tea or coffee for the in-room kettle.

Avoid first-floor rooms if water-closet noise from above would disturb you.

Request a room with an open balcony view because some rooms face an embankment slope.

Request room 502 for spectacular top-floor views.

Check the view carefully when booking a basic double because room 227 faces a close rock wall.

Avoid rooms ending in 05 because they have restricted balcony space.
