The Boc Hostels - Palma

Tres bien

팔마 시내에 있어 공항버스 타기에 매우 좋은 위치에 있습니다. 또한 바다까지 걸어서 15분 정도라 야경 보고 밤바다 보기에 완벽합니다. 호스엘 체크인이 2시부터라 더욱 좋고 키오스크로 셀프 체크인합니다 직원이 친절했습니다. 타월이랑 샤웡용품이 제공되지 않으니 챙겨오세요. 생각보다 시끄럽기는 하지만 신경쓰일 정도는 아니라 다음에 팔마에 간다면 또 이용할 예정입니다. 근처에 메르까도나 슈퍼가 있고 브런치 먹기에 매우 좋은 카페가 있어요!!

Das Zimmer liegt in der Nähe der Straße und es ist etwas laut

Situated in a quieter 'less cool' area of the city, it is affordable and the closest hostel to public transport links. The hostel includes an outside seating area and basic balcony. There are kitchens to use, but you have to pay €5 for the hostel to look after your baggage if you arrive early. It can be noisy outside until around 11pm, with a large playground/sports pitch situated nearby. I shared a 4-bed mixed dorm. The experience often comes down to who you meet, and in November it is quiter than at other times of the year. I slept well on 2 out of 3 nights, but on the final night one young lady's phone alarm started going off at 6am (sound and lights flashing). She didn't wake up at all, but everyone else did. We had to shake her awake and she turned her alarm off. 5 mins later, this happened again. And again. She just kept snoozing it, not waking up and the rest of us were now wide awake! We ended up having to ask reception to put an end to it twice. But the receptionist seemed to be unable to use her authority to get this relentless noise to stop. One of the room guests gave up at 6.30 and just stormed out the hostel. At 7am the lady finally got up, turned all the lights on in the room, and made a racket. She was one of the worst people I have ever had the misfortune of sharing a room with. She didn't apologise once. This is not necessarily a reflection on the hostel itself, and this certainly doesn't happen every night. But it is a warning of what *can* happen, and how little the hostel can act. It was mostly full of Germans, and I made a friend with one of them (we ended up going out for food/drinks the next day). They also hire out bikes for €15 euros, which is certainly competitive. All in all, pretty mixed.

Hostel life clean trendy good value for money excellent location 10 mins to central bus station connections all over the island supermarket opposite Spanish bar next door for breakfast. Highly recommend formentor beach in the north. Paradise.

I was attending a yoga course in Binnisalem, which is about 30 minutes away by train. The apartment is very modern, and simply decorated in shades of white and cream, with a large bathroom. It was designed for a couple, but I was on my own. There was space for me to use my yoga mat in the evenings. It was very clean, quiet and comfortable. There is a square outside where people play football or other games, but they stop around 8.30pm, and then it is quiet. There are several food shops within 5 minutes walk. The station is about 8-10 minutes walk, and the transport was easy to use - just check in and out with a contactless bank card. The admin staff are helpful, and the apartment is serviced every other day. There is a microwave and dishwasher. There weren't instructions on how to use the cooker, but I got it to work by trial and error. I also couldn't find any TV or films in English, so used my tablet to watch films. They could have supplied a better bottle opener, as all the wine comes in bottles with corks (no screw tops). The bed was very comfortable. I loved the window shutters, which allow for about four variations of how to adjust air flow/light. There is air conditioning.
