You're not treated as a number. The staff take a genuine interest, the hotel is kept clean and furniture is either new or well maintained. The food was simple but seemed healthy. The only genuine negatives are a lack of free filtered drinking water and modernisation of bathrooms to have walk in showers rather than bath tubs which could be a little slippy

A quiet and relaxing place to stay
We really enjoyed our stay in this quiet and historically interesting hotel. Rooms are comfortable and spacious. Lovely pool with sun beds and terrace. Pretty, shaded garden to have a drink. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and happily arranged car hire for us too. One criticism is that there is no bar service between 3 and 5pm; during the hottest part of the day it is not possible to buy any drinks- even water. Location is between Mahon and Es Castell; both can be walked to in less than half an hour, but therefore only suited to fit people unless you have a car. No closer restaurants or bars, though the hotel itself does a good choice of food, during specific hours. We particularly loved Calesfonts in Es Castell for our evenings. Would not think the best for families with children, or anyone with walking difficulty, but recommend for a peaceful, relaxing place to stay.

Lovely old historic house with additional rooms built in the gardens with nice pool. However we were allocated a room in the house (no 9) which was tiny and poorly equipped (small double bed, no aircon/fan, no bedside lights, no fridge, miniscule bathroom with shower that had a wraparound curtain in a tray.

Good location in Menorca.
Good base for walking to Mahon or Es Castell. Very nice pool and good access to poolside seating. Excellent sun terrace. Breakfast ok, room needed updating. Very modern rooms by the pool, although we were not in the main hotel, whose rooms are looking rather dark and tired. Good bar with friendly service and very good value.

Pleasant enough
The staff were fantastic, very polite and very helpful. Food options were good and varied and the bar well stocked. Whilst I understand they are trying to keep the hotel to the roots of the building, some minor upgrades to things such as the showers, and pillows are well over due, inexpensive and would have made my stay much more enjoyable.

Lovely and quaint hotel
The location of the hotel is very convenient especially if you have a car. Good (free) parking is available. The breakfast was simple but nice and the room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The hotel itself is a very curious place and it's fun to walk around and discover more about the history. We enjoyed our stay!

Nice play to stay for a short break
I liked this hotel, simple but nice, a little walk from the harbour/centre, but I enjoy a good walk anyway. The pool and roof decking above it were very nice. The breakfast was decent. Only complaint would be that my ensuite was a little dusty and there were a few ants in it! But that is merely an observation as I don't really care about that sort of thing. The staff were nice and that's the most important thing.

Very nice and peaceful
My boyfriend and I have been there just for one night, the last night of our holidays in Menorca (we were in Ciutadella before) and it has been very nice and peaceful. We enjoyed the gardens and the pool the most. Not much around, but very close to Mahon center and airport if you have a car.

An hostal pretending to be an hotel
The Almirante is a hostel pretending to be an hotel. The location is very tranquil, but only suitable if you have a car or intend to spend your days lying on a sunbed. The room we had was OK but had no outside space and the shower room was the smallest we have ever seen. The choice for breakfast was basically ham, cheese, fruit and bread- unless you were willing to pay extra. The bar snacks and meals were inexpensive but of mediocre quality. Definitely not what we expected for over E90 per night. There are other hotels in the region which offer far more for the same price.

small hotel with great history
Stayed here for 5 days. Had a great time. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel to our surprise has a lot of historical significance in the Island of Menorca. the Owner of the hotel visits every Tuesday to give a detailed and humorous guided tour of the Hotel which is the former home of British admiral Collingwood. Hotel is even mentioned on one of those boat trips down in the harbour. Nice hotel grounds and lots of sitting areas. Nice pool and terrace. Sunny breakfast room with great view over the harbour. Only downside to this hotel are the rooms and bathrooms. they could do with a bit of redecorating and maybe the addition of a small fridge to keep water cold in the hot summer days. Great location. walking distance to both Mahon and Es Castell.

Great week!
Lovely hotel that I have been to several times. Not suitable for children. The staff are brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble for them. It is the friendliest place I have ever stayed. Within walking distance of Mahon and Es Castell. Buses run every half hour from about 200yards from hotel.

Quirky. quaint and quiet
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in an interesting and rather quirky hotel. The outstanding feature was the quality of service. The staff were all friendly and obliging- nothing was too much trouble. We really appreciated the historical theme and the attention to detail. The pool area and the sun balcony were ideal for resting and reading and the view from the back of the hotel was stunning.

Traditional Menorcan paradise
My 1 week stay at the Hotel del Almirante was like staying in paradise. My room was simple and immaculate, quiet, and charming. The grounds were tidy and well kept up and charming. The hotel is older and traditional Menorcan style but feels British because of the clientel and because of the original owner. The pool is sparkling clean and the sweeping view of the harbor is lovely. Although out of town a bit I would still consider it walking distance to the center of both Mahon and Es Castell, within a mile of each. My only gripe? Simple: wanted FRESH o.j. at breakfast, not reconstituted! We are in Spain after all! This is the hotel I will dream of going back to!

Adorable hôtel plein de charme, idéalement situé près du joli port d’Es Castell. L’hôtel dispose d’un terrain de tennis avec prêt de raquettes et de balles gratuits. La piscine est de taille idéale, très bien entretenue et propre. Les chambre sont jolies, de bonne taille, il manque simplement quelques rangements dans la salle de bain. Personnel d’une gentillesse à toute épreuve. Excellent rapport qualité/prix.
