“Good value/price.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

I stayed in Kensington apartments with my friend. we were given a nice large apartment for 4 people. It was equiped sufficiently, we were only missing a knife. I was surprised that there was a laundromat and an iron in the room. Location is very good- it is situated between two very nice beaches, they can be reached in 3 minutes.

What I didn´t like at all was the behaviour of the owner. He took 40 EUR deposit and we had to pay the whole stay at check in. On internet they proclaimed to accept credit cards, but when we arrived, he said we must pay in cash (so we had to withdraw more money from the ATM which caused us of course more money!). He spoke only spanish, he was even not willing to communicate in any other language (although we speake english, german, french and russian). The apartment was never cleaned, only once in 7 days we had our towels changed. There were thousands of ants everywhere. The aircondition did not work so it was unbelievable hot at night there. we coulnd´t leave the window opened because of the street noise.

Next time I rather pay more money for a better quality.

“NEVER STAY HERE! LANDLORD IS HORRIBLE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

Me and 2 girls stayed in the kensington for a week... Well we were supposed to anyway. After 2 days, our apartment door got broken into and the glass was smashed. We tried to report this to the landlord, but he doesn't speak a word of english, and didn't intend on trying to understand. On the 4th day, after the cleaners spotted this broken door which we already had tried to explain, the landlord told us that if we didn't pay 240 euros for this door, then we had to leave in 10 minutes. Along with the 20 euro deposit per person we had to pay, that would have been 100 euros each for a door that got smashed into, which we had nothing to do with. He kicked 3 girls out onto the street with nowhere to stay at 11pm! While the apartments are fine for the price, it is not worth it to have to stay with such an inconsiderate man. Look elsewhere for accommodation.

“Cheap and cheerful!!”

I searched for ages for a good deal on a hotel and came across this one, looked at pictures the lot didnt find it eye catching but it was the cheapest so i went for it! The advantages are the location its fantastic just at the top of the strip minutes from bcm, we never had any complaints and got on with everyone else in the hotel! disadvantages are that at a certian time the water went cold and i mean cold, the hotel doesnt have a pool but you are able to use hotel teixs pool just around the corner, on the last day before we went home we went to go out to get few things and we left and the woman who owns the hotel locked us out, money, mobiles, passports, cases the lot was locked it, luckly we had a small friend with us who was able to fit his arm in to reach the floor brush to open the door, the owner is a grumpy old woman but we rarely seen her. Overall was ok for what we paid for excellent location and wouldnt doubt going back as we has so much banter!!

“You just about get what you paid for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2010

I know that these appartments are for people on a budget and they are in an amazing location for people wanting somewhere safe, fairly quiet at night and near the beaches and nightlife but our stay was not great. The Lardlord speaks no english and is grumpy and uncoperative, the appartments are not very clean and much of the furniture was slightly broken. the lights fused constantly and there was a lack of crockery, cutlery and pots and pans.
It is fine for a week but I really think you could do better for the money.

“Manager threatened to throw us out at 11pm! No air con! Opposite nightclubs! NOT RECOMMENDED!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2009

people found this review helpful

Aug 31st-September 1st 2009. The worst hotel experience I have ever encountered...

As a group of five 20yr olds we returned to Majorca for a clubbing holiday. We found this hotel on its own website, a modern, contemporary looking website. First appearances are a block of rundown flats, no swimming pool, no reception and a couple of metres opposite the busiest clubbing road in Magaluf . The manager and his wife who live at the bottom of the block of flats took our cash as we paid on arrival. We moved into our rooms and went to the beach, returned in the evening to find that another group of holiday makers had moved into our room!!! I

n shock we complained to the manager [who speaks no english] and he didnt understand and threatened to throw us out onto the streets at 11pm!! He bashed on the boys room door and aggressively made us return the girls room key and all five of us had to kip together in the boys one room. We couldnt all leave the flat in case he had given the boys room key out as well and someone might walk in and steal our stuff. Terrified that he might return we attempted to sleep as drunken people screamed down megaphones during the early hours and the nightclub beats vibrated through my ears.

The next morning a Spanish speaking friend explained to the manager on the phone what had happend. After accusing us of trying to smuggle in extra people :S he reluctantly apologised returned the majority of our cash. [Turned out he had given people a room 9 key which was our room instead of room 6]. That old trick! We promptly moved to another hotel which the boys had searched out the night before admidst the panic.

The manager had also double booked the hotel and many people arriving were left roomless.

The room: No aircon...sooooo hot, no glass in window...soooo noisy I cant begin to express how loud it was all night, single paned windows of those that did exist, jail bars us at shower window, kitchen and bathroom really dirty, couldnt unlock main door as it was duff so manager had to do it for us, bathroom handle was broken in both rooms so we got stuck in there several times.

Men who sell gadgets on the streets outside nightclubs would walk up the dark stairs to the flats in the night and try to sell you silly hats etc.

I really do not recommend this hotel for your own saftey. Book through a well-known travel agent and always get a safe in your room.
