Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Conveniently central but without being in a really busy area. Ideal. Small but with excellent facilities and staffing.
A beautiful hotel in the old part of Palma but very close to everything. The attention to detail was exceptional and the staff were so lovely. Breakfast was lovely and great cocktails in the bar. The perfect place to spend a few days.

Die Lage, Der Pool
Das Frühstück
Exklusives Frühstück mit ausgesuchtem Angebot, tolle Drinks an der Bar und Pool am Dach, sehr freundliches Service!
Wonderful service at all times .
Excellent service, among the best I have stayed. Plus good location, nice rooms. 100% recommend it
het comfort van de kamers, de extra grote bedden, de inrichting, de service, het ontbijt : alles een dikke 10!
niks
todo está perfecto , decoración , su spa , piscina descubierta , impecable su gastronomía y por sobre todo el personal que te hace sentir como en tu casa
Fantastisches Hotel mit überragendem Personal. Sehr gute Lage, top Zimmer und vor allem ein unglaublich aufmerksames und zuvorkommendes Personal. Besonders die Concierge ist hervorzuheben.
We liked the breakfast - particularly because we could also order off of the menu. But a special shout-out goes to Daniella who went above and beyond the call to meet our needs relative to observing to eclipse.
Great location. Fabulous breakfast.
Arranged a private transfer through the hotel, driver not there and had to wait 40 minutes for pick up. The hotel were apologetic and reimbursed us for half the fare.
Great location in the old town, real friendly helpful staff, great room, clean throughout and excellent breakfast. Roof top and plunge pool were a bonus and the spa facilities were great. Daniela on the front desk was particularly helpful in sorting and making our stay a memorable one.
Honestly nothing.
The location was excellent and the staff was so friendly and informative. The interiors are beautiful and the rooftop with the swimming pool was so welcoming. Great sauna and spa too. Would love to stay here again.
Location was great, easy to get around Palma town. Breakfast and restaurant food excellent. Very clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful.
It is difficult if you had to hire a car as narrow road.
Beautiful hotel in central Palma old town. Lovely staff. Nice breakfast.

This place doesn't feel like a hotel but rather like home! My girlfriend and me greatly enjoyed the hospitality, the wonderful decor and facilities. I would come back without hesitation. To illustrate the hospitality let me just say that they open the spa for you in the middle of the night!
Von vorne bis hinten einfach perfekt. Ein langes Wochenende, an dem mir jeder Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen wurde. Wunderbare Architektur, die das Historische respektiert, und mit tollem und zeitgemäßem Komfort kombiniert. Ein abschließender Lunch, liebevoll zubereitet, mit lokalem Fisch und netter kreativer Note, war neben den atemberaubenden Cocktails an der Bar eines der absoluten Highlights. Pool auf dem Dach nett zum „Dippen“, der Pool und Spa im Keller einzigartig und entspannend. Ich komme wieder, das nächste Mal mit meiner Frau.
Es gab wirklich absolut gar nichts zu bemängeln.
Location and breakfast
One of the best hotels we've stayed. The level of attention from the team was off the scale. A wonderful place to stay. We'll definitely go back!

Everything excellent, staff, Ambience, location food.
No complaints
Tout, Nous ne sommes pas habitués aux établissements de ce standing, mais nous avons tout adoré. L'accueil parfait, les conseils pour découvrir la ville, le personnel aimable et aux petits soins (nous sommes arrivés très tôt le 1er jour, mais la chambre étant prête nous avons pu en prendre possession, le petit dej nous a été offert ce jour-ci aussi) La chambre sublime, avec un lit de qualité. Le spa (piscine un peu fraîche) avec la piscine sur le rooftop (petite mais plus chaude). Le petit déjeuner avec du choix et hyper bon. La bouteille de vin qui nous attendait dans notre chambre pour le dernier soir. Bref, si nos finances nous le permettent nous essayerons de revenir avec plaisir.
Rien, c'est parfait
Everything. First class.

The staff were exceptional and a credit to the hotel. In a fabulous boutique hotel that made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. A welcome cocktail and ‘checking in’ whilst sitting in the lounge was a special touch and felt a bit more personal. The roof top pool area is just stunning, we were pleasantly surprised with its facilities, everything you could wish for, pool towels parasols as well as a pool service offering lunch drinks etc… never felt busy, in fact most of the time had it to ourselves. Lovely place to relax after a day of sightseeing. And the sun stayed up on the roof till very late if you wanted to make the most of the sunshine . Breakfast was just exceptional with plenty of choice. Location just perfect, walking distance to everywhere, only few steps from the main ramblas.
There was absolutely nothing not to like about this little corner of paradise
We absolutely loved our 3 nights at Hotel Gloria de Sant Jaume. The highlights were the outstanding staff at front desk, at the bar and in the restaurant. They were all genuinely outstanding. The girls on the front desk were unbelievably helpful. The room was a good size, bathroom was huge. The floor to ceiling glass doors were lovely opened in the morning hearing the children go to school nearby. The bar area is small but plenty of seating and an incredibly well stocked bar. The bar staff were superb. Breakfast was outstanding. The rooftop area is gorgeous later in the day to chill out after a hot day in Palma. A lovely touch was having bar service up there. The building itself is stunning and the history of it is fascinating. The location is superb. We’ve been to Palma many times but staying here we discovered many new fab places to eat & drink. I would not hesitate recommending this hotel and would definitely stay here again. One tiny point, at check in it would be good to know that the restaurant isn’t open on a Monday & Tuesday. We saved Tuesday, our last night, to eat in the hotel as the reviews are excellent but unfortunately we didn’t know the restaurant was closed that night. The lovely girl on the desk did suggest an amazing place to have cocktails then somewhere local to eat that served the most fabulous tapas, so all wasn’t lost 😂
Nothing!
We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is small but incredibly cozy and charming. The staff were exceptionally attentive, friendly, and always happy to help with any questions or requests. The food was delicious, and the cocktails were beautifully presented. We also appreciated the thoughtful complimentary gifts, which made our stay feel even more special. The rooms are stylish, comfortable, and full of character, preserving the authentic charm of the building. The hotel’s location is also perfect for exploring the city on foot.
There was very little to dislike. The only suggestion would be to heat the indoor pool, as it was a bit cold. However, the small saunas were excellent and made the spa experience very enjoyable.
The service from the staff was exceptional.
Loved the building, decor and the location . Very friendly and welcoming staff
Nothing not to like
Das überaus zuvorkommende und hilfsbereite Personal!
Da gibt es nichts
Das Hotel liegt inmitten der Fußgängerzone in der Nähe der Rambla. Aufgrund des angebotenen Valet-Parkservices hat man keinen Stress und kann das Auto auch mal kurz vor dem Hotel parken. Bei dem Gebäude handelt es sich um ein restauriertes Herrenhaus mit wunderschönen und liebevollen Details. Das Restaurant ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und das Frühstück hervorragend. Uns wurde wirklich jeder Wunsch von den Lippen abgelesen. Das Personal ist ausnahmslos freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Das einzig störende war tatsächlich der Lärm in der Nacht. Obwohl wir in den Nebensaison gereist sind, war es nachts aufgrund von Straßenreinigungsarbeiten und dem Leeren von Mülltonnen sehr laut. Wie schon aufgeführt handelt es sich um ein altes Herrenhaus, weswegen die Schallisolierung eben einfach zu kurz kommt.
The hotel was beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities were wonderful. We would definitely stay here again very happily. We were flying home that evening of the day we checked out and and we were able to leave our luggage there and use the spa facilities while we waited. Breakfast was delicious, and the spa and rooftop terrace are both beautiful spaces
Unfortunately the noise from the street was very bad when we went to bed. This is probably due to it being a listed building with old/original windows but I had to use earplugs and was still woken repeatedly by noise
The Property is outstanding it is perfection so clean and stylish We loved it and can’t wait to go back .
Nothing full stop !!!!
Localização, decoração, area do spa, café da manhã excepcional e recpcionistas muito atenciosos.
Nada
The staff are outstanding
Alles, de locatie, de inrichting van het gebouw, maar vooral de warme betrokkenheid van de receptionist.
Beautiful decor and helpful friendly staff
Great location in central Palma
Es una opción muy recomendable para visitar Palma. Todo el personal es muy atento y dispensa una atención inmejorable a los huéspedes. El Spa está muy bien y el desayuno es excelente.
Good position. Staff very helpful Enjoyed sitting on the roof by the pool
No kettle in the bedroom only coffee machine and we don’t drink coffee
This is an exceptional hotel. I’ve stayed in great 5* hotels before but the difference with The Gloria is the personal touch and atmosphere. I felt taken care of as soon as I walked in the door to a warm smile and welcome.
Impossible to find anything!
Breakfast was good but under-staffed and slow.
Breakfast was fresh and good quality. Service was wonderful and the staff super friendly and professional.
Le personnel très serviable et aimable. La localisation de l’hôtel dans la ville.
Très bruyant, les matelas bradés de boutons durs que l’on sent dans le lit, les mauvaises odeurs parfois, la différence entre le descriptif et la réalité- par exemple le petits déjeuner n’a rien d’exceptionnel, la piscine du haut est en fait un bassin d’un mètre quinze de profondeur d’1 m50 de large et 3 m de longueur-. Pour moi ce n’est absolument pas un 5 étoiles.
The rooftop sunbathing area is fantastic for a few hours of relaxation before heading out on excursions. The spa area in the basement is perfect for evening relaxation.
It’s only place for improvement. I would suggest the Coffee machine at the breakfast as it takes time while the waitress is gathering the orders and preparing a coffee individually for everyone. Breakfast is very special and individually made.
Location and the bar in the evening
The spa and the restaurant were lovely. The staff and service were exceptional
Beautiful, small boutique hotel only 14 rooms. Excellent service and attention to detail.
Prachtig gebouw, heerlijk ingericht, toponthaal door alle medewerkers ( Llúis in het bijzonder!) Ook fantastisch gelegen, in een prachtige stille wijk en tegelijk in het hart van Palma!
Arrived early, but room was made available almost immediately We were given an upgrade on one of the rooms which was a lovely surprise Joaquim on reception was so helpful with restaurant suggestions and nothing was too much trouble Rooms were beautiful, high ceilings and beautifully furnished Breakfast was off a high standard Spa area was a welcome addition Overall a brilliant stay, would return
Very little Had to ask for sauna to be switched on Slight noise from street at night
El buen gusto, la calidad de la construcción y acabados, la especialidad del edificio. Y ppr encima de todo la atención de Joaquín y la gente del bar.

Beautifully furnished and decorated.In walking distance to many sights and restaurants.Friendly reception, check in and advise where to eat.
Spa opening times misleading.When I arrived at 8. 20 there was no sign at door that spa was not to be used,as pool was being cleaned. When in pool someone told me to get out and to come back in an hour!? Steam room did not function the day before. Small problems, but annoying at time . Window in room did not open as wood seemed swollen.
Everything was amazing! Outstanding stay!!!
The entire hotel's team was excellent. We also liked the food.
Tatsächlich alles, der Spa, das Essen, das Personal, das Design, die Lage… besser geht es wirklich nicht!
Dass wir nicht länger da waren.
Great central location, attentive and friendly staff. Small, relaxing spa on site. Good bar and restaurant. Spacious, comfortable bedroom.

Alles! Wunderschön renoviertes Palais mit bezaubernden Details. Exzellente Lage, sehr freundliches Personal und hervorragendes Frühstück. Sehr schöne und gemütliche Bar
Das Licht könnte sowohl im Zimmer als auch im Badezimmer heller sein
Der Service, das Personal, war perfekt. Sehr zuvorkommend und hat wirklich alle Wünsche erfüllt. Die Lage des Hotels ist natürlich sehr gut (mitten in der Altstadt) aber das bieten auch andere. Wie gesagt, der Service ist das besondere in diesem Hotel.

An unbeatable location looking straight out onto the beach. Our room was amazing and one of the best views to wake up to sitting up in bed in the morning.
An elegant and classic hotel, tastefully decorated, comfortable and with an amazing indoor pool and sauna.

Me gustó mucho las instalaciones que tenia. El servicio excelente, el personal nos aconsejó sitios y lugares para visitar. El hotel queda a 10 minutos andando de casi todas las atracciones. Tiene un spa super acogedor y relajante. No tengo nada malo que decir. Me encantó
Me gustó todo. El desayuno buffet tenía poca variedad de comida pero como se puede elegir del menú fue muy satisfactorio.
Überaus freundliches Personal
Great location fabulous staff & great value for money
The view from the bedroom window was a bit poor

.Henkilökunnan palvelu oli loistavaa, etenkin vastaanoton Louis oli äärimmäisen avulias ja järjesti illallisemme erinomaisissa ravintoloissa.
Aamiainen oli kohtalainen, hieman niukan puoleinen ja tilatut annokset viipyivät turhan pitkään. Maku sinänsä erinomainen. Aamiaisen tilaaminen oli hitaanpuoleista, ilmeisesti henkilökuntaa ei riiottävästi paikalla näin off season. Huoneet siistit, mutta hieman kuluneen oloiset.
A truly wonderful hotel in every respect which made my husband’s special birthday even more special!
Nothing
The staff above and beyond our expectations to make sure we had a lovely stay. The service was personal and friendly, from booking restaurants recommending things to do as well as the cocktails from their beautiful bar. We would definitely return and recommend this hotel - if you go try the Haka!! One of the best cocktails we’ve had 🤩
We liked everything
Fantastisk service fra vi kom til vi rejste. Morgenmad var i en klasse for sig selv 10/10 Føltes som vores anden hjem. Der findes ikke surperlativer nok til at beskrive dette unike hotel.
Her kunne vi bestemt bruke mere end 3 dage, så vi kommer tilbage.
The hotel has a beautiful design and atmosphere, the rooms are stylish and comfortable, and the reception staff as well as the cleaning ladies were very polite, friendly, and always smiling. Check-in, check-out, and room service were quick and smooth, which I truly appreciated. The hotel has a great atmosphere, beautiful interior, and most of the staff were pleasant and professional.
Breakfast – The food was absolutely not fresh, clearly reheated in the microwave and tasteless. None of the dishes we tried were enjoyable. It really felt like the chef did not put effort or passion into the preparation. For me, breakfast was the weakest point of the whole stay. 2. Breakfast staff – Not very welcoming or friendly, which created a negative impression in the mornings. 3. Rooftop pool service – Extremely inconvenient organization of orders. I placed my order through the hotel’s app/website, but the restaurant staff downstairs never received it. I had to call by phone to make sure they checked the system, and only after my call they noticed my order. This is very frustrating for a guest. 4. Shower in the room – The shower handle was not fixed properly and kept rotating, making it very uncomfortable to use.
Wry friendly, convenient clean what a joy!!
This hotel is FABULOUS! The design of the entire hotel was so elegant and gorgeous and meticulously maintained. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. I loved going up on the terrace and laying by the pool and then going down into the spa which had a really cool underground pool and sauna. It is a small hotel, only 14 rooms so it was like having the whole place to ourselves! The breakfast every morning was delicious, I loved making my way down the menu. We also ate dinner here and it was all just great. I was genuinely so sad when it was time to check out :( I will definitely be back!!
Nothing, everything was amazing
Amazing service from staff particularly Joaquim and Daniella
Noise outside was quite bad lots of screaming in the alleyway
What a find, a beautiful Hotel in the center of Palma away from the crowds. Staff were fantastic and the rooftop sun deck / poll were a real bonus. Breakfast was superb.
Amazing service, personalized touches everyday of our stay. Staff are super attentive and lovely overall. We needed to checkout early due to a 6am flight and they packed us a picnic breakfast and helped organize our bags.
Service is exceptional and rooms are amazing
The staff is amazing, great cocktails and the breakfast is delicious. Location is quiet but short walk to busy areas and the marina. Definitely recommend.
Extremely friendly service, staff always eager to help, great facilities and atmosphere and location right in the center of Palma.
Nothing to speak of.
Staff were lovely and hotel was very relaxing, it was in a quiet location in the centre of old Palma.
Staff were friendly and helpful
