Hotel Port Mahon

Super friendly hotel staff. Hotel rooms are being modernised but ours hadn’t been yet but we had a beautiful view of the marina. Beds were comfy, room was clean but furniture tired and dated. Breakfast was great, always plenty of fruit, cereal, cooked breakfast items with additional eggs/ pancakes cooked to order. Evening menu varied and good quality. Great location being close to the marina and harbour although there are lots of steps down to it. However, a few minutes walk there is a lift directly down to the marina. 20 minute walk along the marina and harbour with lots of bars and restaurants along the way. Being October when we visited quite a few were closing for end of season. By the harbour, where the cruise ships moor up, there is another lift taking you up to the town centre with lots more shops, bars, restaurants and market. Overall a beautiful place that is very clean, friendly and felt safe. Highly recommended.

We stayed for four nights last week and enjoyed it very much. We were in a Junior Suite with a harbour view and a large comfortable bed and pillows. The bathroom was well appointed with a walk in shower and the air conditioning was very quiet and efficient. The hotel supplied a bottle of water, a packet of crisps, two bottles of lager and two bottles of fanta and there was also tea and coffee available (but no milk!) Buffet breakfast and evening meals were comprehensive with a good selection of hot and cold food which was readily replenished. The only complaint as far as we were concerned was the late start of dinner which was 7:30 and a bit late for our liking. The hotel itself was spotlessly clean and there were plenty of sun loungers around the pool and we would recommend this hotel.

We had another excellent stay at the Port Mahon, our first since the recent refresh / light refurbishment. The hotel is spacious and roomy, and the update to the rooms with new bathrooms, smart TVs etc. has helped to modernise it. We had a standard double room with a balcony - this was a little compact with a corner balcony on the outside which was fine for us, but you might need to pack light. The housekeeping staff were great even re-arranging our teddy bears suitably! The breakfast offers a very good selection that should cater to all tastes, once of us is Coeliac / gluten free and managed fine, although you might need to bring your own GF bread. There is a good hot selection and all the usual cold items plus some local pastries etc. which is nice. There is a pancake and omelette bar where you can have these items cooked to order which is a nice extra touch. We tried dinner one night as the weather wasn't great - this was pretty good value buffet with a good selection and steak / fish could be grilled to order. There is a good tapas-based lunch menu served in the bar / terrace. The staff are attentive and always helpful, with the outside areas very tidy and no issue with sunbeds etc. most of the time. The pool was consistently cold but we had a slightly unlucky week weather-wise. The hotel is around 15 walk from the city centre inland, or half an hour via the Port, there are bus options very nearby as well into the centre or over to Es Castell if you walk 5 minutes or so up to the stop at Sinia des Muret. Free parking for a hire car in the streets around isn't usually a problem. It is a sedate locale that suits independent travellers Thanks to the team for another great stay.
