Situated in a quiet road on the edge of the central shopping district.

My room was large, imaginatively decorated - one wall is stone, lit by floor-set uplighters. Clean, though the one day I hung around Mahon it had not been made up when I came back at lunchtime. Television has 25 channels - all in Spanish or Catalan (apart from "learn English TV"). Room safe, but mine was still locked from the previous inhabitant. Lots of light fittings, but quite hard to get a good light to read by. Room overlooked an inner courtyard with seats (not in use). Effective heating (a real boon in February), though all controls other than on/off have been sealed off. Fridge for minibar.

Bathroom has modern fixtures: plugs in the basin and bidet work by pushing once to seal, again to release (did not seal). Jacuzzi-style bath. Good shower.

Breakfast was an adequate buffet: fruit, joghurt, lots of pastries, toast. Poor lighting.

No IT terminal available, but at each end of the street there is an internet shop.
