“Calm hotel - excellent value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed here for a week in July 2011 and were very satisfied. The hotel is quite small and a bit unusual in design as it is a converted bishop's palace.

Our top-floor room was spacious, tastefully furnished, comfortable, and clean, with a private balcony and fantastic mountain view. The balconies are west-facing, so they can become a bit of a sweat lodge on summer evenings when most people like to sit out. Perhaps September would be a better bet from this point of view. The only minus point was the intermittent nature of the hot water, especially during peak early evening demand.

The pool is on the small side but the poolside area is pleasant and clean, and suspiciously insect-free. Even though the hotel was fairly full, there were always sun loungers available (some broken ones). Owing to the relatively small space, a family group with kids can make a big splash and disturb the general calm. This is not really a hotel for younger kids.

We didn't eat in the restaurant - it seemed a bit pricey and out of the way for the evenings. It was always dead when we came back. A highlight though was the copious breakfast buffet - always fresh bread, home-made marmalade (available for sale), some local ham or cheese and delicious freshly squeezed Soller orange juice. Northern European as well as Spanish tastes are well catered for.

The staff are polite and businesslike without being over-friendly. They didn't do anything about the hot water problem other than smile.

Soller is a picturesque old town with good transport links to the beach, to Palma, and to other parts of the island. It's also a good base for walks. Can't understand why anyone would want to hire a car here - Soller does suffer from traffic congestion in the summer.

All in all we had a great holiday and would definitely recommend this hotel, especially to couples.

Room Tip: Top floor rooms with balcony have the best views.

“Excellent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I was staying here as part of a group.

My room was pleasant and clean - I had some private outside space even though the room was on the ground floor, which was lovely at the end of the day.

Large bathroom (Spanish style). Overbath shower.

The breakfast buffet was good and generous.

Nice (outside) pool and a small fitness studio with some resistance machines and a treadmill.

The hotel is in an excellent location in a quiet street a few minutes walk from the main square in Soller which is also where the train/tram station are.

Friendly staff.

We had an inclusive deal - dinner was varied. I was staying as part of a group and am a vegetarian. The hotel did try to cater for me but was hit and miss - a couple of the meals were excellent. Let's face it, vegetarians are not well understood in Spain. (The dinners for the non-vegetarians were also variable).

We all had an excellent holiday. This is a superb base for walking. Plus the location means that it is a short walk to the town centre to stock up on supplies for the day.

The taxi rank in the square has a set list of charges to different destinations on the island which makes it all very easy!

I was travelling as part of a group and, all in all, the total package of which the hotel was a substantial part, was excellent value.

Room Tip: Decide on the type of room you want. I paid extra for the upgrade for the (ground floor) balcony wh...

“Perfect in every way.......”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

The Hotel Cal Bisbe exceeded our expectations in many way. This is a small hotel and is kept extremely clean. Pool area wonderful and relaxing - could do with updating the cushions on the chairs. Tea served by the pool we felt was overpriced. Our room was lovely, excellent view, fairly large and a good size bath room.
The dinner was wonderful - every night, the chef is a excellent. Breakfasts were also great, all you could want and more.....
The staff did vary, some very pleasant and helpful, one or two felt a tad unfriendly (not even a good morning). I feel a few do need to work on their people skills.
Overall, a really lovely relaxing holiday and a great little hotel, wonderful food and mostly great staff. We did some walking and so didn't need a car. Felt the main square in Soller in spoilt now, far too many cafes there now - used to be quiet and not so busy. A perfect holiday and we have found a little gem of a hotel - we are planning to return soon.

“Excellent in all respects”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

This hotel was about fourth on our list of possibles and was the only one with accomodation for the dates we had in mind. What a turn up! The hotel is situated in a quiet (apart from some local dogs) part of the old town but close to the main square. The rooms are well eqipped and decorated - ours faced the swimming pool and had a balcony large enough to take two loungers plus table and chairs.
We intended to eat out each night but having sampled the first excellent dinner on the terrace overlooking the floodlit pool we spent every evening of our ten day stay eating in.
We couldn't fault the staff who were consistently friendly and helpful.
All in all a very good hotel which we intend to revisit as soon as possible.

“Just what we needed”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

Recently home after a relaxing week in Soller . Ca l Bisbe is a mid price small hotel and has all the facilities one would expect . The pool area was kept clean and tidy , drinks and tea served outside were not over priced . The staff were efficient and while not gushingly over friendly ,as required by some of your reviewers, made sure that all our requests were catered for . Our room with balcony overlooking the pool was clean , roomy ,double wardrobe space and comfortable beds . The bathroom was spacious and was equipped with a large magnifying
mirror.... a must for shaving or makeup these days .
We ate a very fine breakfast every morning in the hotel , but chose to walk the few minutes down to the town in the evening for our supper , loads of atmosphere and varied food to suit every pocket , the tram to the port with a taxi back also proved rewarding .
All in all .......... a jolly good holiday ... and a first without a car .

Room Tip: Balcony rooms good , a suite on the top floor would be a treat .
