Pardela Menorca

Charmant petit hôtel, situé dans un quartier entouré de bons cafés et d'un arrêt de bus à 5 minutes à pied de la route qui va directement à Mao (Mahon). Également à 30 minutes à pied de Mahon, c'est une route droite, donc facile et directe. La chambre était charmante et moderne, avait un grand lit double et la climatisation fonctionnait comme un charme. La seule chose qui me rendait triste, c'était qu'il n'y avait pas de miroir intégral ! Nous, les filles, adorons nos miroirs corporels complets ! La chambre avait une télévision avec Netflix, ce qui était parfait. L'hôtel avait également une belle terrasse sur le toit si vous voulez du thé / café ou juste un peu de calme et de tranquillité avec de l'air frais. Dans l'ensemble, l'enregistrement a été super facile. Les instructions étaient données bien à l'avance et faciles à suivre.

Je ne suis pas le genre de personne qui a l'habitude d'écrire un feedback ni positif ni négatif. Cependant, cette fois, je sens que je devrais. Je devais venir il y a quelques jours mais comme j'ai été testé positif au Covid, je n'ai pas pu. J'ai essayé de contacter Pardela par e-mail plusieurs fois mais ils n'ont jamais répondu. C'était plutôt méchant et peu professionnel. J'ai finalement réussi à leur téléphoner et leur ai demandé s'il était possible de changer la chambre double en une chambre simple - mon compagnon de voyage venait toujours - mais ils étaient absolument stricts et catégoriques. Ils ont dit que je ne pouvais pas demander une telle chose puisque je n'avais aucune assurance. J'ai fait différents essais en essayant de les persuader que je ne demandais pas un rembour*****t mais juste un changement de chambre. Je n'ai pas réussi. Ils étaient inflexibles. Tout cela pour dire que je ne peux pas donner mon avis sur l'emplacement ou le petit-déjeuner - car je n'ai pas pu les goûter - mais si vous recherchez la politesse, le professionnalisme et, surtout, le souci du client, allez ailleurs.

What a great little place I was so impressed from the moment I entered the door, we were given a code to enter the door and get our room key which was all very simple and organised. The room was above and beyond my expectations with a fantastic bathroom and rain shower. There is a kitchen area upstairs where you can make yourself something to eat and a lovely roof terrace with great views over the rooftops down to the harbour and only a few minutes walk down to gorgeous Cala fonts. Last but not least I need to mention the owner Jody she was such a great help with everything and even organised a taxi to take us back to the airport. Thank you for such a great few days we will definitely be back.

I should preface this review by saying that my husband and I are 83 and 73! This hotel is set above a pub on a very busy corner near Es Castell Port (formerly Villa Carlos). It is only about a 5 minute walk down a steep hill to the pretty port where there are plenty of bars and restaurants up until October 15th which seems to mark end of season and choice drops dramatically. Our arrival was difficult as we received all sorts of codes to get into the building (through WhatsApp) and then into our room. We spent about ten minutes trying to open front door but eventually an existing resident was leaving & so we got let in by him. Then there was another code to receive your key card from a key lock box. If, you’re a technophobe this place is not for you. I telephoned Clarice who changed the outside door code and so all was fine thereafter. Everything was scrupulously clean and the room was large with a minimalist Dutch/Scandinavian Interior Design feel to it. The pillows were excellent, (something quite difficult to get in Spain), though, I would prefer my bed linen ironed rather than it look as if someone has already slept in it, but then I’m maybe old fashioned. The wash hand basin was also very good, it actually held water. A good shower and supply of Soap, Shower Gel, Shampoo and Conditioner and a proper hand held hair dryer NOT chained to the wall!! Upstairs, on the fourth floor is a terrace with a summer kitchen for the use of residents and a limited Honesty Bar. Breakfast in an optional extra in your room, Toni’s Bar downstairs serves an adequate breakfast but for us Sa Cala on the port is better and naturally has a beautiful view. Of course, most places have pros and cons and Pardela is no exception. We were promised a safe, I would defy anyone to find a safe in our room, so had to walk around with passports on our person for 4 days. There was no water in fridge and having carried two suitcases up 2 floors one needed a drink of water. Towels. I put a dirty towel on shower floor only to find when I returned that it had been hung up on towel hook again. When in the bathroom, you can hear your next-door neighbours do their business and I assume the other way around. Finally, the waste bin, as guests are asked not to throw anything other that toilet paper down the toilet, I was absolutely amazed that the only bin in the place which was in the bathroom was not emptied once in the 4 days. All sorts of toilet wipes were contained in this bin, as I’ve worked in medicine my entire life, I found this unacceptable and very unhygienic. This is an eco hotel and that is most laudable, but. there a few discrepancies that need ironing out….no pun intended!! This is my 13th visit to Menorca, I love the island. However, there is not a great choice of accommodation in the area so close to the Port but Pardela in our opinion is for the younger folk, who don’t mind climbing floors to their rooms, the early breafasters at Toni’s Bar and don
