We loved our stay at the hotel. The suite was great and all the staff were super helpful and the breakfast was lovely. The rooftop terrace was a lovely addition. We'd stay again and would highly recommend it.

We enjoyed our stay at Brondo Architect Hotel. The hotel is very interesting and the staff was amazing! Damian was very welcoming and always had time to answer questions and good conversations. He even set a table for us on the terrace! Lovely! We would recommend this hotel.

We had booked a premium double room which is supposed to be 258 sq ft but wasn’t. It didn’t have a proper bathroom. The toilet and sink was a pan elles area at one corner of the room while the shower was a paneled corner at the opposite corner of the room. The small tv (not 32”) was mounted high on the wall, similar to what you see in the hospital. Furnishing consisted of a mid sized Smeg frig, a small desk in an enclosed windowed alcove and an old, rattty looking stool. Breakfast was at a nearby cafe where the staff practically threw the food at you. When I showed friends photos of the room, they couldn’t believe we paid over 300 euros for one night. On the plus side, the room was clean and staff was helpful.

The Hotel Room (630 named Richard) had a very strange food smell. We reported it, twice, to the management but it wasn't fixed during our stay. The room, albeit a standard room was very small, the hotel whilst they claimed they had a bar and a restaurant neither were open during our stay. Not great to be honest

Great location needs a better vision
The property was under going refurbishment. It was nosey and we were in a room with a lift only part way. It will be a lovely hotel but they should have made us aware that building works were happening and we could have chosen somewhere else. They charge for water which in a high rated accommodation there should be water available and 1€ for a coffee pod!! Tea and coffee should be available as a given.

The hotel has a great central location. The hotel staff are very friendly and professional I had expected two beds. What I got was one bed and one sofa bed. The sofa bed was not particularly comfortable. The main bedroom was quiet according to my brother who slept there. The living room, where the sofa bed was located was far from quiet. You could hear every conversation from the street below. You could hear people walking up the wooden stairs that were immediately outside of my room. You could hear every word spoken by the people in the hotel reception. Breakfast was good.

Good location
Location is good, in Old Town, walking distance to many restaurants, waterfront, cathedral, shops. The staff at reception were really friendly & helpful. Lobby is stylish & breakfast seating area was nice & modern. Breakfast was ok, not a great deal of variety but had the basics (no pancakes!), but wasn't well replenished if you weren't there early (I don't mind asking to save extras being wasted but they had run out of a fair bit). I emailed before arrival to ask if they had oat milk & was told they did, but there was only soya which was disappointing. Not much at breakfast for vegans. And my partner found a staple in his cereal (nearly swallowed!), the breakfast staff apologised but no partial refund or anything. We paid for a premium double room, but there wasn't really anything premium about it, reasonably spacious but nothing excessive. I don't think there was even a headboard & decor was quite basic & boring- no character & unattractive fixings. Calling it "Architect" Hotel seemed to be a bit of an excuse not to decorate or finish things properly (bad paint job, poor grouting/sealant, etc., lots of exposed pipework ("rustic" in places but not for bedrooms). Shower area was spacious but shower tray was tiny & penned in, which was a poor use of the space, & the shower head was tiny with poor flow, so showering wasn't comfortable. Bed was thankfully comfy & AC was great. The bar was very expensive. We might return (short stay only) but I wouldn't pay over the odds for it.

Pictures make the room look bigger than it actually was but it was nicely decorated and the bed was extremely comfortable. We booked their biggest room with patio terrace. The only problem we had was the AC fuse kept blowing and we had to reset but the staff was very helpful. The first nught the AC also kept leaking so we had to put the garbage bin under it to catch the water, but eventually it got fixed. Location was amazing. Right in city centre with amazing shopping and restaurants right next door. Love the boutique hotels in Palma.

Broken AC. Manager off duty. Tiny, ugly room. Ugh!
The stay was the absolute worst we had in our many weeks in Europe. The air conditioning was completely broken and the receptionist could not reach the manager. The room was small and dark and ugly — not sure how the hotel has a 4-star rating — but it was impossibly hot. We left and found another hotel in the old city of Palma, which was delightful The young woman at the receptionist desk could not get the AC to work, but did offer to let us use a small fan that is normally at the receptionist’s desk. It was a dreadful experience. Avoid this hotel.

A secret gem of a hotel
A great find. Good location 8 mins walk from rhe A1 bus stop from the airport. Good facilities. Quirky style. Comfortable beds and quiet at night. Breakfast was excellent and the staff kind and helpful. My one slight dislike is that on one side of tge hotel where we were one of the staircases didnt have a handrail..... which for me was a slight issue but not enough to object, mark it down or complain. My suggestion is that if you cant make a flight of stairs, ask for a room near the lift. Id definitely stay again.

Cute boutique hotel near the cathedral
Nicely decorated boutique hotel near the cathedral. This was my first time in Mallorca abs I’m glad I selected this hotel because it was in the middle of everything that I wanted to see. It is located near trendy shops and boutiques with many eateries nearby. It is a short walk out to the place where you can just hang out or soak up the gorgeous architecture and eat wonderful food. Mari and Sara are great hotel staff. And Sara, originally from Mexico had a lot of great advice for places to visit and locations to dine at during my stay. My room was an odd corner room, with a lumpy bed abs windows that needed to be cleaned on the outside. Otherwise it was nicely equipped, tiny, efficient and clean. The community rooms were large, tastefully decorated and I very much enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I would recommend to friends and stay again.

Disappointing, not the room advertised.
I booked a junior suite with terrace for a very special trip as our wedding was cancelled due to covid. The room we were given did not have a terrace attached, we were then shown a small area that the staff struggled to unlock and told we could use that. The terrace in the pictures had a beautiful 4 poster bed, this had a very uncomfortable sofa. Not one of the pictures on Hotels.com was of the room we were given. I complained but was told sorry all the rooms you booked are full. I asked for a refund and would go elsewhere but was told no. I asked for the manage to call, he did not. We arrived at 9am so we could have been told then that the room we booked was not available but we were not. The room we had was not comfortable at all. The sofa looking at the sink, the TV was above the kitchen area. We were 2 flights up but could hear every word from reception. Not relaxing or enjoyable in any way. I just feel for reception staff that the manager left to deal with this. i will be pursuing a refund.

So-so
My arrival was okay, I was welcomed by a male receptionist with a friendly face who gave me some info and map of the city. I was disappointed that there is no direct lift that can bring you to the rooms. You had to pass through the restaurant (on 1st floor) if you want to use the lift from the lobby then make your way through the circular staircase until the 3rd floor. Upon entering the room, i was greeted by an old smell(same like that of a dead rat but maybe its from the wood material used in the room) for my entire stay. To be fair, the room is cosy and looks amazing BUT if you’re a LIGHT SLEEPER, noise from outside bars creep in through the windows. Tourists’ scream, laughs of customers from restaurants can be heard even in the middle of the night. Heater does not work, the room was very cold even at 29 deg. No free bottled water provided. But there is Nespresso coffee and tea. Also, THEY OFFERED A FREE DRINK at the bar on the first night after connecting to the hotel’s internet. Also, another bad point is, every time I ask for help at the reception, about something or any questions, they couldnt help me because they dont understand or speak English that much. I only appreciate the young male receptionist who was able to help me on my arrival and taught me to use the SAFE as there was NO instruction provided on the machine. And the fact that I have a massive balcony is a PLUS!

Unprofessional & low standards
Disappointed! We paid a lot of money for 3 nights stay and expected the quality that was shown in pictures and online. Outdoor gym was filty! No cleaners came to open up plastics on the machines, had not been wiped in months with sticky dust covering all equipment. Broken gym equipment thrown in the corner. We got so dirty from doing warmup our clothes and hands were black from ground!? I complained, no one did something about it. Next day same dirt! Breakfast not worth the price at all! Rather go out to eat! No healthy alternatives likes granola, only sugary pops. No berries (it was summer time) only melon daily. No variety, no pancakes as pictures promised. Very disappointing. Our room was smelling of cloak from toilet, got to change for last night to another room next to restaurant which people misunderstood for toilet since moustache on door!? We have a 1 year old who kept waking up from all the knocking on the door. I have written the manager an email for money back. I was offered an lousy voucher for 20%off next stay!? Are you kidding me!
