Hostal Apuntadors

Hostal Apuntadors is a hostal at Carrer dels Apuntadors 8 in the old town of Palma, Mallorca, Spain, next door to Hostal Ritzi on a street known for restaurants and bars. Palma Cathedral is about 0.3 km away in a straight line. The hostal is in the budget category with rates of about €55 to €110 per night, and its website is hostalapuntadores.com. As a hostal, it offers straightforward rooms and a central location rather than hotel-style services. Palma's old town is compact and largely pedestrian, so most of the main sights can be reached on foot within ten to fifteen minutes: the Gothic cathedral La Seu, the Almudaina Palace, the Passeig des Born, the Plaça Major and the tapas bars of Santa Catalina and Sant Miquel. Cars are restricted in much of the historic centre, and many streets are narrow, cobbled and uneven. Palma airport (PMI) lies roughly 8 km east of the centre and is linked by the A1 bus and by taxi, while the main bus and train station at Plaça d'Espanya is a short walk or taxi ride away. The Balearic climate means summers are hot and busy, with spring and autumn offering milder temperatures and easier sightseeing; air conditioning is therefore a practical feature in July and August. Carrer dels Apuntadors runs close to the Paseo Marítimo and the Plaça de la Reina, and the Born, the cathedral and the harbour are all within a few minutes on foot. The street is busy at night in summer with diners and bar patrons, so noise may be a consideration and guests can ask for a room on a quieter side. Visitors on a budget often value this kind of accommodation for its location and price, and they spend most of the day out sightseeing, shopping or visiting the beaches by bus. The reception hours, breakfast options and bathroom arrangements should be confirmed with the hostal before arrival, especially for late check-ins. Rates are highest in July and August and at Easter, and winter prices are lower.
