Hotel Gabarda & Gil

Chose a premium room on the top floor which was very spacious with extra facilities I wasn't expecting such as a kettle and a fridge. Hotel location is just a short walk from Palmanova beachfront but away from the bustle and the noise.

The inevitable noise from other guests returning to their rooms late at night (it's difficult to be quiet on a tiled corridor). Away from the hotel the 104 bus into Palma was unreliable and always 'standing room only' by the time it reached the stop the stop near the hotel.

The bed was comfortable, the stuff is brilliant, and the location is very very suitable!

everything from the reception staff, bar staff cook and waiter serving breakfasts. the food was gorgeous. definitely come back here again. only had 4 days in palmanova but it was a blast. made some great friends around the hotel.

no lifts at the property but we knew that before we booked.

GIL: We liked the air conditioned rooms, it was calm and we could sleep during the nights. The breakfast is cheap and good: 3 Euro/ person and you can choose from about 12 options, they will make it to you (drinks are not included, you need to buy them separately from the bar). The beach & main streets are 10 mins walk.

So basically there are 2 buildings: GABARDA with the pool, breakfast, bar & reception and GIL, the other building the cheaper option, where you don't have facilities, so you need to walk to the other building. We stayed at GIL, and it was not bad. We had rooms on the 2nd floor (no elevators, not recommended for elder people). The walls are very thin, we could almost talk with the neighbor room through the plugs and sockets.
