Request a high-floor room for less traffic noise, better city views, and reduced early-morning cleaning noise.
Guests tend to like this smart, well-kept hotel for its clean contemporary rooms, comfortable beds and personable staff. The rooftop bar is a favourite, and the little pool, loungers and wellness facilities add appeal after a day around Palma; some guests also appreciate the minibar and coffee-making setup. Its position near transport, shops and the historic centre works well for most city-break visitors, although a handful find it less central than expected. Criticisms are fairly minor but recurring: the rooftop pool is small, noise can intrude, service is occasionally inconsistent, and breakfast and room pricing divide opinion.
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of INNSiDE By Meliá Palma Center.
Request a high-floor room for less traffic noise, better city views, and reduced early-morning cleaning noise.
Request a sixth-floor room; most have balconies and offer quieter conditions with better rooftop access.
Use the included minibar, which may contain up to eight complimentary drinks such as beer, water, and soft drinks, replenished daily.
Book a balcony room, as rooms without balconies can feel dark and overlook surrounding buildings.
Book spa, pool, or treatment access in advance and confirm availability, as entry is chargeable at approximately €8–€10 per person.
Check whether the rooftop outdoor pool is open before booking if swimming is essential; the rooftop also has a sun area and bar.
Check the small print for facility closures before booking.
Walk from the hotel to Palma’s old town, shopping areas, sights, and restaurants.
Enjoy a drink at the rooftop terrace in the evening and use the complimentary coffee there at breakfast.
Try the breakfast, but skip the cooked options if those are your priority.
Bring a kettle if you want tea or coffee in the room, as one may not be provided.
Ask about the shower layout before sharing with friends, as the glazed shower can open directly into the bedroom.

Ask whether the spa is operating before booking to avoid disappointment.

Choose a studio room for one or two small children, but expect limited space.
Choose an extra-large room when travelling with a child or needing more space.
Choose a triple room for more space and a separate bathroom.
Request a king-size bed rather than two singles pushed together.
INNSiDE by Meliá Palma Center is a polished, contemporary city hotel that suits Palma’s easy-going but energetic rhythm. Interiors are modern and unfussy, with air-conditioned rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs, minibars and Wi-Fi. Its standout feature is the seasonal rooftop terrace: a compact pool, loungers and bar create a welcome spot for a post-sightseeing drink above the city. For a quieter reset, there is also a paid-access wellness area with an indoor pool, sauna, steam bath, hot tub and treatment rooms.
The hotel sits close to Palma’s principal shopping streets, within an easy walk of Plaça d’Espanya and the Intermodal Station. The old town, Plaça Major and the cathedral are all reachable on foot, making it a practical choice for a short city break, business stay or car-free exploration. Bus and rail connections nearby are especially handy for trips beyond the centre. Do note that pets are not accepted.
Guests regularly praise the spotless, up-to-date feel of the hotel, comfortable beds and welcoming team, with several calling out the rooftop bar and generous in-room minibar touches. Breakfast is often well received, though it does not win everyone over, and the small rooftop pool can feel busy. A few visitors also mention occasional noise, uneven service and rates that do not always match their expectations.
