Hotel Review: Puro (Oasis Urbano), Palma, Majorca. Thursday 20th - Sunday 23rd September 2012


It's Curbappeal:
- Outdoor space. We kept coming across terraces hidden all over the hotel
- Great location. Stones throw away from many little bars & restaurants & c10mins from the Cathedral
- Earthly tones, modern art & luxurious leather furniture come together to create a relaxed but cool vibe (hence the name Puro 'Oasis Urbano')

Crowd: relaxed. Quite a few couples. Those seeking a cool city hotel

Food rating: only had breakfast. Fresh & tasty buffet with plenty of choice. Coffee lovers will be in heaven; delicious & strong local Majorcan coffee (Salar) on tap from espresso machine. We'd come back to Puro just for this coffee

Our room: 331 located in Private Wing. NB. We were in the 'main hotel' Thursday night but found it noisy so moved. The main hotel is set in an 18th Century palace where noise travels easily - especially from drinkers in central courtyard. Room 331 is alone on top floor, like an attic room & was much quieter.

The bill: e275 a night seemed ok for well located & funky hotel. If they improved service levels (seemed bit slow to respond to requests, lack of toiletries in rooms etc), we'd be happy paying bit more

Recommended: Yes. Love the design, location, coffee & outdoor space. Just make sure if you're not there to party you request a quiet room. Might be worth bringing earplugs just in case!
