Had a brilliant time in Palma in June, weather great and town and people very friendly. Stayed in the Hotel Araxa which we all (4 couples) recommend highly. Lovely quiet position between the castle and town, superb swimming pool and garden and very friendly staff and a good price. About a 20 min walk form hotel to castle and town,... more

My friend and I found this hotel on the internet and the reviews were satisfactory so we thought we would go for it. Only being in Palma for 4 nights it was perfect. We enjoyed the 15-20 minute walk to the Cathedral along the harbour and didn't experience any problems even later in the evening when walking. The room was... more

I was only staying one night in Palma, so on reflection I shouldn't have picked to stay at Hotel Residencia Araxa, even if it only cost 59 euros for a single (including breakfast). I had read the Tripadvisor reviews before booking, and while they said it wasn't in the centre of town, I hadn't appreciated that it required a 15... more

Stayed at Hotel Araxa for a week in september 2008. Service is excellent, and so is the cleanliness og quality of the rooms. Situated in a calm and quiet part of Palma, close to Placa Gomila and in walking distance of the famous Paseo Maritimo. The hotel has a decent breakfast buffet and a very cosy garden with a pool,... more

The hotel is in a peaceful, respectable area of town well worth the slight additional walk. It has every facility necessary and is spotlessly clean and airy. Our standard room was a good size, as was the balcony; towels & toiletries were replenished every day. The staff were helpful when assistance was requested but perhaps a little aloof. The breakfasts... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Araxa. Breakfasts by the pool were second to none, tranquil and relaxing, and without the mad rush for sunbeds. Gardens and pool area were stunning and the staff were courteous but not overbearing. They left us to our own devices which is just what we were after - even to the point of... more

If it hadn't been for tripadvisor we would never have stayed at this hotel but we are glad we did. Put this hotel at the top of your list... Located in a quiet residential location we were astounded by the quality & variety of facilities & the size of the room for what is a only a 3 Star hotel.... more

This was a quiet hotel located slightly out of the city centre in a residential area - it took 30 - 45 mins to walk in to the centre but it's a pleasant walk either down by the marina or through the pretty streets. There are bars/restaurants closer than the city centre for those who prefer not to have to... more

Just back from a 2 night stay at this hotel, although it seems a bit off the beaten track, its actually in a residencial area. Contrary to other reports the area was safe at night, we did not feel threatened in any way. The hotel itself is spotlessly clean and the staff very pleasant, just remember a smile goes a... more
