Hostal Regina

Hostal Regina is a guesthouse at Carrer de Sant Miquel 77 in the Sant Miquel area of Palma's old town, Mallorca, Spain, with self check-in, and it is part of the Stay Brick group. Palma Cathedral is about 1.1 km away in a straight line. Listed amenities include air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and wheelchair-accessible areas, and rates are budget at about €50 to €110 per night. The website is staybrick.es/en/hostal-regina. Carrer de Sant Miquel is a traditional shopping and dining street running north from the Plaça Major, lively with local shops and cafés, and a good place to see everyday Palma beyond the main monuments. 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. The location is a little further from the cathedral than the Born or La Seu hotels but closer to the Plaça Major, the Mercat de l'Olivar food market and the bars of Santa Catalina. As a self-check-in guesthouse, the hostal has a streamlined service with limited on-site staff, so guests should read arrival instructions in advance. It is a practical choice for budget travellers and solo visitors, and rooms are simple. Guests staying in July and August should note that the old town is hot and busy, while spring and autumn bring cooler evenings and lower prices.
