- Gran Melia Victoria
The hotel is on the Palma de Mallorca seafront, near the old town. Major sites such as the Pueblo Español congress centre, the Auditorium, the Royal Yachting Club RCNP or the famous Cathedral are within walking distance. The airport is at 18 km from the hotel. The 171 rooms are bright and airy, filled with natural light; many of them offer spectacular panoramic views over the bay, the Cathedral, the marina with its countless yachts and the promenade. Guest can admire the stunning sunset over the bay while sip on an original cocktail from a terrace bar or enjoy the sun by the pool side while lying on a sunbed. Take the opportunity to have dinner in the restaurant with a menu based on ingredients deeply rooted in tradition and touches of creativity. The moonlight and soft candlelight create an intimate and romantic atmosphere.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Nice hotel, but no 5 stars! Everything in this hotel is tired. Management is absent, staff lazy and do what they want (or rather nothing). Everyone is just waiting for a big renovation, until then we have to accept it as it is. Not too expensive, they know they can't charge as much as (other) luxury hotels. So far, 3 days into my week here, I noticed the following:
But, as I said, it's relatively cheap which is positive!
The Gran Melia Victoria is well positioned, just opposite the harbour and on the outskirts of Palma. The welcome on arrival was excellent, with refreshments (and sparkling wine) provided whilst checking in. Our car was valet parked for 5 days with friendly and welcoming concierge. We had visited the Hotel to see the eclipse - which was a complicated business (due to Road closures and the positioning of the sun. Th Hotel could not have been more helpful, and took a personal delight in helping us (and seeing our wonderful photographs afterwards. The Breakfast was excellent. A really good selection of fruits, cheeses, hot meal options and pastries. We had a room on Red level (Exec lounge access). The room had a lovely view of the harbour and cathedral. It was well-appointed with good air conditioning (essential for us given the high August temperatures. I would like to make a special mention of the Receptionist, Anne-Marie who totally made the holiday for us. We look forward to returning when it is not so hot, for a better look around Palma.
This was always a good hotel but now its service level is horrific. Turndown service is non existent no water no towels and the breakfast service is chaos. Then the pool - now you have yo ask for your own drinks and then take them back yourself - 5 star hotel? Not any more, Staff can’t be bothered ( apart from Layla and Pedro) rest are running around clueless.
A well positioned hotel on Palma harbour. It is a city hotel, not a resort. Check-in was welcoming and courteous, despite the front office incorrectly dealing with a reservation change.
Junior suite was spacious with a tremendous view. It was fully equipped and everything worked. The Red Level offered useful complimentary services and is well worth it.
Breakfast was excellent.
Outside pool was convenient and well maintained. Pool service was generally poor, as was the service throughout the hotel. Bar staff socialising amongst themselves while customers were waiting. Turn down service non-existent. Everyone doing the minimum.
Decor was tired and the hotel really needs a refurbishment, including the bedrooms.
Probably not a 5 star hotel right now, but certainly a superior 4 star. We would stay again.
Wonderful experience here in Mallorca. Customer service was also phenomenal, particularly with the help of Carlos who made our experience exceptional when assisting us with the Audi. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay.
