Hotel Abelay

I was lucky enough to find Hotel Abelay and happy I did. I stayed for 4 nights. Its an 8 minute walk from Plaza Espanya (the transportation hub) and located in a quiet section of Palma, as well as bring very reasonably priced.Taking the airport bus which stops at Plaza Espanya its an easy walk to the hotel. I was given a double room which also had a small balcony.The room and bathroom were spacious enough and very clean! Everyone on Reception were polite and friendly and especially Sergi who checked me in and helped me with info. He also helped me check in for my return flight when I could not do it from my mobile phone for some reason. He was very helpful and kind!There is a Mercadona supermarket just 3 minutes up from the hotel which I used daily! Only downside is that there is no fridge in the rooms which is something I missed as you want to have a cool drink at anytime etc among other things(especially in warmer weather). I solved that problem for myself by buying 1 kilo ice bags from Mercadona along with a cooler shopping bag. I would layer one on bottom fill with my drinks and snacks I wanted to keep cool and layer with another bag on top. I kept it in the shower cubicle and this kept intact overnight. I repeated the next day. Its a solution that worked for me! Of course the hotel has bottles of ice water to buy and a small restaurant with a menu of the day which I did not use..nor the breakfast for a fee. I would surely stay at Hotel Abelay again !

Refurbished hotel, 20 mins walk from the Cathedral etc. Very clean facilities, comfortable bed, spacious bathroom, aircon and tv, what more do you need! Attentive staff working at reception, reasonably priced breakfast. A jewel.
